Low key lady! Naomi Watts opts for casual khaki trousers and cropped leather jacket... but layers the accessories as she steps out in New York City 

Naomi Watts opted for a casual chic look while out and about in New York City on Thursday afternoon.

Not afraid to mix and match, the 46-year-old actress was spotted wearing a white T-shirt teamed with a cropped leather jacket and a pair of light khaki trousers. 

She further layered her simple blouse with a sleek black leather jacket, while an emerald and white floral printed scarf was draped over the top to add a softer touch to the look.

Finishing just above her ankles, Naomi's trousers made way for her show-stopping black boots with a brown wedged heel.

Clearly a fan of accessorising, the blonde beauty, whose short locks were pulled back in a ponytail, propped on a classy black hat. 

She also sported a pair of sassy shades, while a black handbag was slung over her right shoulder. 

Meanwhile the mother-of-two kept her makeup relatively natural for the day out.

Naomi’s natural beauty has seen her become an ambassador for skincare brand, L’Oreal, but the star recently admitted that she doesn’t believe the ageing process is easy.

The actress confessed in an interview with The Sunday Telegraph that being at peace with the natural progression of life, sometimes 'feels like an uphill battle.'

While the blonde beauty always looks luminous on the red carpet, she credits her appearance to her Australian upbringing.

Before moving to LA to conquer Hollywood, British born Naomi grew up with the harsh sun Down Under and the experience means that she is never without protection for her porcelain skin.

'I have fair skin so I always have an SPF 50+ in my handbag,' she told the publication. 

Not by her side on this occasion was her partner Liev Schreiber. 

The pair share two sons Samuel and Alexander.
