She bundled up against the chill in a black puffy coat and cozy black Ugg boots. 

The Elf star clipped back her brunette hair with a cute barrette, and went for low-key makeup with a bright pink lip.

Zooey's character Jess Day was 'sequestered on jury duty' while the star was at home with her baby girl. Her character was temporarily replaced by Transformers star Megan Fox, who played the new roommate.

The actress recently became embroiled in a legal fight over the sale of her entertainment website Hello Giggles, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

She is being sued by her former management company Seven Summits, who she split with in 2013. They say they are owed 10 per cent of Hello Giggles' sale price, which they estimate to be be between $20 million and $30 million. They also want commissions for her work in New Girl.

But Zooey called the lawsuit 'completely absurd and meritless and was filed in retaliation' and said her website is unrelated to her acting and singing careers.
