Black Widow takes a day off! Scarlett Johansson dresses down for NYC stroll but still manages to flaunt toned tummy and pert bottom 

She is perhaps best known for her sexy getups on the red carpet and also in films such as Captain America, where she wears a leather cat suit to play Black Widow.

So it was a bit of a surprise to see Hollywood siren Scarlett Johansson so dressed down when strolling with a female friend in New York City on Wednesday.

The 30-year-old mother-of-one did her best to show off her curves, however, in her carefree ensemble.

Go casual with some Birkenstocks like ScarJo

Scarlet Johansson certainly knows how to throw off the paparazzi. The usually glam beauty walked around NYC in high waisted jeans, grey t, hat, sunnies and unusually responsible footwear from Birkenstock.

The so called “camping” or “sporty” sandals are one of this season’s hottest micro trends. Spotted on the runways at Burberry, Antipodium and Christopher Raeburn, they’re the fashionistas choice of ugly sandals.

And for the budget conscious fashionistas amongst us, these 'Rio' Birkenstocks are an affordable $89.95! While ScarJo's outfit is a bit pedestrian for us, we think mixing in some luxe pieces like a floral midi skirt from Milly and an off shoulder top from Stella McCartney would totally turn these sandals into a haute item.

The Lucy actress managed to show her midriff off in a casual light grey T-shirt which she knotted on the side.

High-waisted denim jeans kept too much of her tummy from being exposed.

Oddly the jeans looked plucked from a farmer's closet rather than a swanky boutique as the pockets were unfashionably large and the legs unusually wide. 

Johnasson added extra country appeal by rolling up the bottoms.

The wife of Romain Dauriac also left the Louboutins at home to find comfort in a pair of sandals that looked like they could be found in a Birkenstocks catalog.

A clever beige hat with caramel colored ribbon that hid her famous blonde locks added style and a large slouchy black purse looked nondescript.

Dark sunglasses helped the Horse Whisperer darling go even more incognito. 

Her redheaded pal looked even more stylish in a country flower print yellow top, baggy jeans and yellow flats, though a plaid purse seemed out of place.

The pals were walking outside the Metropolitan Museum Of Art on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

Scarlett was last seen dropping by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in NYC on September 8.

The ex-wife of Ryan Reynolds was looking lovely for her appearance in a leather-looking black sleeveless top with wide-legged black trousers.

The Match Point star flew in from her residence in Paris to be on the show, and she said she has totally fallen for her husband Dauriac's home city: 'There's not a day that goes by that I don't walk down the street and go, "Wow, this is such an incredibly beautiful place."'

Her dedication to his show won her some gentle mockery from the comedian, who said: 'You jetted in from Paris to New York to do a television show.'

The brainy actress said she is learning French, but cunningly she prefers to stick to English so she can win fights with her advertising executive husband, who she married last year.

The 30-year-old said: 'When you're in a relationship with somebody you want to speak whatever language is easiest to get your ideas out as quickly as possible - so you can argue your point.

Bisou for you: The Match Point star flew in from her residence in Paris to be on the show, and she said she has totally fallen for her husband Dauriac's home city: 'There's not a day that goes by that I don't walk down the street and go, "Wow, this is such an incredibly beautiful place"'

And despite the fact she is always a hit on the red carpet, she somewhat suspiciously claimed 'French women are much more fashionable than I would ever profess to be.' 

Meanwhile, Forbes recently reported that Scarlett ranked number 2 in its list of the world's highest paid actresses - pulling in $35.5 million from June 2014 to June 2015.

After reprising her role as Black Widow in this summer’s Avengers: Age Of Ultron, Scarlett will take on that same role in 2016's Captain America: Civil War.

The actress is slated for other exciting projects to come as well, including a leading role alongside George Clooney, Channing Tatum and others in the forthcoming comedy from the Coen brothers Hail, Caesar!

Pas vrai! And despite the fact she is always a hit on the red carpet, she somewhat suspiciously claimed 'French women are much more fashionable than I would ever profess to be'

After that, she’ll voice Kaa the python in Jon Favreau’s upcoming animated adaptation of 1967’s The Jungle Book.

The projects are sure to keep lining up for the stunning star, who welcomed her first child, daughter Rose Dorothy Dauriac, in September 2014. 

In a recent interview with director and writer Woody Allen, the 79-year-old admitted that one of the main reasons he makes films is because he loves 'looking at beautiful women' - including ScarJo.

'I go to work in the morning and… there’s Emma Stone looking like she’s a goddess, there’s Scarlett or Naomi.’

Scarlett has been in multiple Woody Allen projects, such as Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Match Point, and Scoop.
