Milly Alcock looked unbothered as she stepped out in New York this week, amid backlash over her appearance in the new Supergirl film.
The Australian actress sported an off-duty casual look, letting her natural beauty shine as she grabbed an iced coffee and ran some errands.
The 26-year-old showed off her midriff in a striped shirt that she wore knotted at her hip to flaunt some skin.
She added a pair of black parachute pants and designer ballet flats with a hoof design.
The Sirens star went makeup-free for the outing, showcasing her clear skin, and her blonde locks appeared unbrushed and tousled.
Milly also carried a water bottle and her phone, while finishing her relaxed ensemble with a pair of oversized sunglasses.

The House of the Dragon actress appeared unaffected by the recent furore over her looks after she was cast as the lead in the big screen DC Studios remake of the action adventure, Supergirl.
The drama began when Lois and Clark star Dean Cain faced backlash from Superman fans after seemingly mocking Alcock's appearance on social media.
The conservative actor, 59, came under fire after responding to a meme that likened her to the primitive, ape-like human Cha-ka from the 1974 series Land of the Lost.
A troll responded to Cain on X with an unflattering photo of Cha-ka and asked, 'And why does she look like this guy?'
Cain then responded, 'Dang it... I laughed,' followed by a smiling emoji.
The actor's reaction to the cruel comparison quickly spread on social media, leaving a number of superhero fans outraged.
'What a fantastic way to kill your legacy. And what a glorious way to lose the respect of millions of kids that looked up to you three decades ago. What a disgrace,' wrote one person.
Another commented: 'Your Superman performance is never going to be looked back upon fondly, your bitter jealousy has tainted any legacy you had left.'

Cain eventually clarified that he 'never said she was ugly', but seemed overall unconcerned by the backlash.
The American actor is best known for playing Superman in the '90s TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.
Alcock later issued a defiant response in the face of backlash over her casting in the iconic role.
The Sydney-born actress told Variety Magazine that she was ignoring the criticism.
'[The criticism] is from a lot of people whose profiles have no photo, who are burner accounts, or someone's name and then "Dad of four, Christian," which is hilarious to me,' she said.
'I mean, whose opinion do you really care about? If you're p***ing the right kind of people off, you're doing okay!'
