Margaret Qualley joined gal pal Aubrey Plaza and her newborn baby for a sunny walk in New York City on Sunday.
The newly single actress, 31, showed off her summer style in a breezy pink dress and Mary Jane flats while taking her dog for a walk with Plaza, after recently being roasted by fans for wearing the 'ugliest' shoes in the world.
The Maid star - who split from husband Jack Antonoff, 42, last month - pulled her brunette tresses into a ponytail and rocked a pair of sunglasses.
Meanwhile, Plaza, 42, opted for a casual look in a white T-shirt, striped shorts and white loafers, with her baby nestled in a chest carrier.
The infant is the first child for Plaza and her boyfriend Christopher Abbott, 40. The White Lotus star first confirmed her pregnancy in April.
Last year, Plaza gushed about Qualley being her 'lifelong friend' after they had an on-screen love affair in the 2025 dark comedy Honey Don't!

In the film, Qualley played Honey O'Donahue, a small-town lesbian private investigator who finds herself entangled in a web of strange deaths. Meanwhile, Plaza played a police officer working with O'Donahue.
Speaking of their real life friendship in an interview with Cosmopolitan last year, Plaza said, 'It's rare to do a movie and leave with a lifelong friend.'
'Margaret has helped me get through some of the hardest times of my life. We have each other's backs. I'll defend her to the end.'
And in a 2025 interview with Out, Qualley was equally complimentary of Plaza.
'I don't know anyone that doesn't just love her, and I've loved her from afar for such a long time. Getting to work with her was such a dream,' she said.
Last year, the duo had fans going wild over a viral clip of them at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
It marked Plaza's first red carpet appearance following her husband Jeff Baena's tragic death by suicide in January at the age of 47.
And Qualley did her best to quell Plaza's nerves as they braved photographers together at the glitzy event in France.

She even got a laugh out of Plaza in a viral clip from the premiere that showed her playfully grabbing the star's rear end on the red carpet.
Qualley recently ditched her wedding ring as she made her first red carpet appearance since splitting from Antonoff at the world premiere of The Dog Stars in London on Thursday.
It was announced in July that Qualley had split from music producer Antonoff after nearly three years of marriage.
Antonoff and Qualley, who have an 11-year age gap, haven't been publicly pictured together since the Grammy Awards on February 1 and their split came one month shy of their third wedding anniversary.
The How to Make a Killing actress' rep told TMZ on July 10 that there 'was no infidelity' and 'no trust issues' leading to the demise of her 'rocky' marriage to the Golden Globe-nominated songwriter.
Antonoff raised eyebrows when he showed up to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's July 3 wedding festivities with his sister Rachel as his date – rather than Qualley.
The pair might have still been together on March 31 when she shared an Instagram story wishing him a happy birthday.
Qualley changed her Instagram handle back to her legal name Sarah Margaret Qualley instead of a reference to his music, and she deleted photos she shared in March from their wedding at Beach Haven in his native New Jersey.

Before they began dating in the summer of 2021, Antonoff reportedly dated photographer Carlotta Kohl, Golden Globe winner Lena Dunham and two-time Oscar nominee Scarlett Johansson.
The Blue Moon actress was previously romantically linked to her Death Note co-star Nat Wolff, SNL alum Pete Davidson and her Love Me Like You Hate Me leading man Shia LaBeouf.
Audiences can next catch Qualley as the medic Cima in Ridley Scott's $110 million-budget sci-fi flick The Dog Stars – hitting US/UK theaters August 28 – alongside Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin and Allison Janney.
The two-time Actor Award nominee's other upcoming films include Amazon's romantic drama Love of Your Life and Neon's Southern supernatural horror King Snake.
