The blonde beauty was clad in a sleeveless white frock which zippered down the middle and fringed on the bottom.

The Almost Famous star created a boho chic vibe, pairing her white hot number with brown suede ankle-strap platform sandals, as her hair flowed down in beach waves.

She let her natural beauty shine through by wearing minimal make-up.

Kate appeared to be solo but was perhaps headed to meet her rumoured 30-year-old love interest.

The mother-of-two and Derek enjoyed a friendly lunch date on Wednesday. 

Derek was seen exiting a local Japanese restaurant in New York's East Village following the date with Kate. They then went to see Kevin Hart's What Now Tour.

Kevin shared a photo with the rumoured couple, and Derek was wearing the same clothing that he was spotted in the following day.

The pair enjoyed some time to themselves only blocks apart in New York City's Tribeca neighbourhood on Thursday.

While the professional dancer partook in a leisurely stroll, Kate made a beeline for the Greenwich Hotel once she stepped outside of her car.

The How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days actress, who was also celebrating her son Bingham's fourth birthday that day, let her blonde locks fall in a wild hairdo. 

She added a casual touch with her comfortable sneakers, which no doubt aided her as she dashed out of her car and in the direction of her hotel.

The genetically-blessed duo are said to have formed a close bond when Derek gave Kate dancing lessons last year, and it was claimed that they became more than just friends.

A source revealed to Us Weekly that the pair 'were totally kissing' as they hung out at West Hollywood hot spot The Nice Guy in December, days before the actress confirmed her split from Matthew Bellamy.
