The actress strode down the sidewalk in casual white sneakers with Velcro straps and a pair of black shades shielding her eyes.

She wore her hair scooped up into a messy top knot and kept the makeup to a minimum, opting to showcase her natural beauty.

The beauty finished off the look with a blue purse slung over her right shoulder.

There was no sign of her new boyfriend Bobby, whom she was recently spotted with for the first time.

The adorable new couple couldn't keep their hands off each other, stopping for kisses and tender embraces as they strolled through Central Park last week. Katie was also seen slipping her hand into the backside of her man's pants.

It is the first relationship for the Batman Begins actress since she split with chef Emilio Vitolo Jr., 33, who she broke up with in May last year.

Before that, the movie star had been in a years-long secret romance with actor Jamie Foxx, 54.
