The perfect scene: Scarlett Johansson tenderly cradles one-year-old daughter Rose as she takes a break from filming Ghost In The Shell in New Zealand

She is set to play the role of a crime-fighting cyborg in the her upcoming film Ghost In The Shell. 

But it appears, Scarlett Johansson's most beloved role is that of a mother to her 16-month-old daughter, Rose.

The 31-year-old American actress was seen tenderly cradling the tiny tot in her arms as she strolled through Cuba Street Mall in Wellington during a break from filming in New Zealand.

Despite having an entourage with her including a nanny, the hands-on mother-of-one insisted on carrying her daughter.

The doting mother's little one was seen resting her head on the actress's shoulder as Scarlett sauntered along the pavement.

The blonde beauty stopped off at a local bookstore where she purchased Jeffrey Eugenides' best seller, The Marriage Plot, leaving her toddler in her pram under the watchful eye of her nanny.

Look pretty in pink adidas sneakers like Scarlett

She's in the middle of filming a new movie in New Zealand, but that doesn't mean Scarlett Johansson can't have some down time with her family. She was snapped here with her daughter Rose and she was definitely off-duty, working a casual style for her stroll.

Scarlett can often be seen on the red carpet for film premieres or awards ceremonies, wowing us with her breathtaking dresses, such as her recent appearance at the Oscars in a fabulous green Atelier Versace number. But in her casuals she looks pretty great too.

We loved her straight cut jeans here and the pairing with those cool pink sneakers - it's more acceptable than ever these days to wear your sporty kicks out of the gym as well as in. This Adidas pair are a pretty girly option, but they're well balanced out with Scarlett's light-wash jeans, but they'd look great with a plain black midi dress too for daytime attire.

She added a grey sweater, before accessorising her ensemble with a messenger purse, glasses and a newsboy cap, which aided in her disguise as she attempted to fly under the radar.

The red carpet regular finished off her casual look with a pair of bright pink trainers.

In an article published by the New Zealand Herald, one local said that Scarlett 'arrived at a local south Wellington gym fairly innocuously with a group, she was wearing trainers, training gear and a hat.

'To the uninitiated no-one would have known she was a star,' the source added.

Scarlett, her husband and her daughter are understood to be living in a gated mansion in the coastal suburb of Seatoun Heights overlooking the Wellington Harbour for the next two months as she films Ghost In The Shell.

The movie is based on the manga of the same name by Masamune Shirow and is set in 2029.

Scarlett is set to play a female special ops cyborg, Motoko Kusanagi, who leads an elite task force called Section 9 as they try to bring down notorious hacker Puppet Master.

She will appear alongside English actor Sam Riley (Maleficent) and will be directed by Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman).
