Kate Mara cuts a casual figure in skintight leggings to attend Pilates class in Los Angeles

She is a well-know vegan and animal welfare advocate.

And Kate Mara threw her ‘support’ behind the Big Cat Public Safety Act by rocking a tee adorned with its name and campaign logo on Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles.

The act was reintroduced in the US Senate in April, and aims to provide a solution to the ‘dangerous and cruel problems associated with private ownership of big cats and direct contact activities like cub petting.’

The 38-year-old actress teamed her well intentioned top with a pair of skintight black leggings.

Mara trekked through the parking lot in a pair of checkered slide sandals after attending a Pilates class in the LA neighborhood of Los Feliz.

Her bleach blonde jaw-length hair was styled half up, half down and she rocked a pair of clear RayBan shades over her eyes.

The American Horror Story star had a pink mask tucked around her wrist that coordinated with her reusable water bottle. 

Slung across Kate’s body was a black designer bag with a silver chainlink strap.

‘New hair,’ captioned the star, who then encouraged her 452,000 followers to check out her critically-acclaimed Netflix series A Teacher.

The limited series, which is 10-episodes in length, premiered on FX in November 2020.

A Teacher documents the predatory relationship formed between teacher Claire Wilson (played by Mara) and her young student Eric Walker (played by Nick Robinson) and the complexities and consequences of the inappropriate entanglement, as per IMDB.

Speaking to Deadline, Kate opened up about the research and preparation she endured to play the role, noting that delving into the mind of a predator is an answerless feat.

‘I definitely did research into these stories, and specifically the Mary Kay Letourneau one, and there’s a documentary that I watched that I found really fascinating,’ she recalled.

‘But, it’s not like I could go and talk to one of these people. I don’t have an answer, and I think that that was one of the reasons why I think playing the character and exploring the show is so interesting, because you just have to do your own assessment, and try and find pieces of these specific people and stories that, maybe do make sense, or if you were to make up a backstory about somebody and maybe why they got to this place, it’s hard, because there isn’t just an answer for that, that we’re aware of.’
