Mad Men's Kiernan Shipka, 16, is dressed down in NYC as she leaves glam Sally Draper far behind 

Kiernan Shipka earned critical acclaim for her portrayal of troubled but fashion-forward teen Sally Draper on Mad Men.

The 16-year-old actress couldn't have been further from character as she emerged in New York City on Saturday thanks to an understated outfit.

Kiernan blended into the sidewalk scenery while clad in a black beanie and blue puffa jacket over a red jumper and army-green trousers.

A red checkerboard-designed bag was looped over her shoulder and there were pink socks peeking from the tops of her sensible black loafers.

The teen appeared to be stepping out on a very casual errand run, and there was an iPhone in her hand that she consulted from time to time.

For seven seasons, Kiernan played the daughter of Don Draper (Jon Hamm) and Betty Draper Francis (January Jones), and Sally had to deal with a lot as her parents went through divorce and moved on to other relationships.

Sally eventually went to live at boarding school, and she and her ad executive father tried to become better acquainted. 

'I’ve particularly always loved all of Don and Sally’s scenes from the very beginning, when they were so sweet, to now where they’re sort of heartbreaking and filled with so much emotion,' Kiernan said in a 2014 interview published on AMC.com.

'I love working with Jon. He’s the best, and it’s been fun to see the relationship change, and it’s been great as an actor to have so many opportunities to have these scenes.'

The role required the young star to wear 1960s-style wardrobe from neat plaid skirts, modest jumpers and bright coats, along with prim and proper hairstyles.

The popular AMC series finally ended, airing its final episode last spring after a long and successful run.

Kiernan's low-key outing comes two days after she made a chic appearance at the Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2016 show during New York Fashion Week on Thursday.

On that occasion, Kiernan looked delightful and bright in an ensemble featuring red, blue and white hues and paired with silver Mary Jane heels.

She sat front row at the show with the likes of Juliette Lewis, Natasha Lyonne and Christina Ricci.
