The 29-year-old paired her cropped tee with a navy waterproof trench, light grey skinny jeans and a matching hoodie.
She opted for a slick centre parting as her auburn tresses ran against her attire, while she hid behind all-black shades.
Karen rose to fame as she played Amy Pond in the BBC’s Doctor Who in 2010 to 2013.
Since her key role in the science fiction series, the TV and film star has gone on to play a number of box office hits, including her role as Nebula in the Guardians of the Galaxy sequels.

She is set to continue her role as Gamora’s bio-mechanical sister in the upcoming Avengers movie, with an expected release in May 2018.
The auburn beauty completely transformed her desirable looks as she recently shared behind the scene snaps from the film set.
Her appearance lived up to her Galaxy-class killer character as her face was coated in blue and purple stripes, while her auburn tresses were hidden.
She captioned the image: ‘Slowly driving my make up artists mad by doing this every time we de-rig. They love it really… #nebula #avengers (sic)’.

In a recent shoot with Glass Magazine, Karen showed off her delicate side as she posed in front of a vintage backdrop of leafy wallpaper.
She smouldered down the camera lens for the shot, taken by Sam Kim, which saw her in a lacy, semi-sheer, white blouse, her arms folded confidently.
Showing off some gold rings on her fingers, the actress exuded porcelain beauty, her creamy complexion offset by her wavy russet locks and her smokey eyes.
On December 20, the film star will take the lead female role in the remake of the classic Jumanji film, which starred the late Robin Williams.
