She caused quite a commotion as she arrived to a book signing decked out in a rather odd ensemble on Monday.

And Evangeline Lilly kept it more conservative while still flaunting her eclectic style as she made her way to a taping of The View on Tuesday.

The 35-year-old went for a more androgynous look in a tweed blazer belted at the waist and a pair of light grey slacks while maneuvering through the streets of Manhattan.

Evangeline tried to stay warm in the wintry getup which she teamed with an interesting pair of fingerless leather gloves and chic black stiletto heels.

Her short brunette bob battled the strong winds while her smooth complexion was adorned with heavy pale makeup, bronze rouge and a slick of bright red lipstick.

The Lost star added a pair of black rimmed statement eyeglasses for a trendy hipster effect.

On Monday, the beauty turned heads at a book signing for her new children's book The Squickerwonkers Vol. 1, when she arrived in a strange combination consisting of a red checkered skirt, fitted grey jacket and a black, red and white hat.

The book - which is out now - deals with a spoiled girl who happens upon a group of sinister group of marionettes.

And while she's become known for her acting skills on Lost and The Hobbit films, Evangeline revealed writing has always been a deeply held passion.

'I was not entirely satisfied with my career as an actress and (was) looking for something that would fulfill me creatively and give me all the things that I want out of a job,' she told New York Daily News.

'Those stories appealed to the part of me that knew life wasn’t all kittens and bubblegum.I just don’t think that a lot of the time the messages we send kids prepare them for real life,' the mother of three-year-old son, Khakekili, added.

The talented star will next be seen in The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies, which opens on December 12 in the UK and December 17th in the States.
