The Crown's Claire Foy cuts a casual figure in beige trench coat and dark jeans as she runs errands in Highgate
Claire Foy cut a casual figure as she ran errands during an outing in Highgate, London on Tuesday.
The Crown star, 41, opted for a laid back look in a black v-neck top and dark jeans as she went food shopping.
The actress wrapped up in a beige trench coat and added to her ouftit with a dark brown handbag.
Styling her brunette locks into an updo, Claire completed her look with a simple silver necklace.
The actress is best known for portraying Queen Elizabeth II on the first two seasons of Netflix hit The Crown.

She received various accolades for the role including a Golden Globe and two Primetime Emmy Awards.
Her role in The Crown came just one year after she portrayed another royal, Henry VIII's wife Anne Boelyn in the BBC adaptation of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall.
More recently, she appeared in the critically acclaimed drama All Of Us Strangers alongside Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott.
At the end of last year, she filmed upcoming project H Is For Hawk which caused 'chaos' in a quiet residential street where it was shot.
Security guards brought in by the production company of the film H is for Hawk have been accused of being 'rude and aggressive'.
One security officer admitted 'things got crazy' between the film crew and local residents in the battle for parking spots.
Residents have lost their parking spaces outside their front doors and are being forced to use a Pay and Display car park paid for by the film company.
The production crew had been preparing the location in Plasturton Avenue, in the leafy Cardiff suburb of Pontcanna for almost a month.
Claire was apparently unaware of the bitter dispute going on in the street where the movie is being shot over the next two weeks.
One angry resident said: 'We are up in arms as the production crew have caused absolute chaos, blocking off massive areas along Plasturton gardens, Plasturton Ave and Sneyd Street.
'They are employing around the clock security to threaten residents if they attempt to park anywhere along the road. They were rude and aggressive.
'Some neighbours have been issued with threats of clamping and cars being removed by the production team. They are not in a position to do that.'
A neighbour living just yards from the film shoot said: 'Parking is difficult here at the best of times and while it's good that films like this are being made in Cardiff it is a major inconvenience.'
The hit series His Dark Materials was filmed in the same street but that all went smoothly and locals were happy to hear H is for Hawk was being filmed there.
They received a letter saying they wanted to reserve some on street parking spots for technical vehicles and some 'prop cars'.

Vinted pro reveals 'sneaky' trick to help flog clothes you're struggling to sell
A professional Vinted seller has revealed the one nifty trick she uses to help flog hard-to-shift items on the app. Caroline, who hails from the UK, boasts 213,000 followers on TikTok where she regularly shares her top tips for aspiring vendors. The 49-year-old, who has made thousands on the app, introduced the video by describing the 'genius hack' she uses to cash in on unsold items. She explained at the beginning of the clip - which now has 15,000 views - that she had already sold three pieces that day and was preparing to send them. But before making her way to the Post Office, she will periodically scan the app to see if any of her listings have been favourited. Then she will contact interested buyers to see if she can entice them into making a purchase, telling them she can post items imminently if they buy. 'I will write a message saying, "I will be doing a parcel run this afternoon. If you are still interested in this item, I can post this out to you today so you'll get it super quick",' she explained. 'Then, I'll copy and paste that same message to everyone else who has favourited items yet to be sold.' The nifty trick helps her nudge transactions which would have otherwise gone unsold, Caroline claimed, adding that it was 'highly likely' that at least one person would bite. In previous videos, the thrifty seller said she once made £400 on the app in just one day. Several commenters agreed with the advice. 'I've done exactly this for about a month now,' one said. A second chimed: 'Great idea! Sneaky, but great! Others remarked that they also used the trick, with one gushing that they had sold five items doing so. Meanwhile, not everyone agreed, with one saying that they developed the 'ick' after sellers contacted them about a favourited item. Another admitted that they couldn't 'think of anything worse'. Caroline isn't the only successful secondhand seller to have cashed in on the Vinted train. Maisie, from Yorkshire, has amassed thousands of pounds selling garments and trinkets she's discovered at cat boot sales, charity shops and online pre-loved websites. Although it started off as a side hustle, she has now made reselling her full time career last year after earning £18,000 from flogging clothes. Now, she has helped others by telling them how they too can make a wage from the app - and according to her, it's very simple. Maisie said: 'I absolutely love buying on Vinted to resell on Vinted. It's so easy and it just goes to show the difference that a good quality picture with good lighting and a good background can honestly make.' She says that you should always list similar clothes sizes at the same time on Vinted, as people may browse your page and find other items that they like, resulting in more sales. Several commenters agreed with the advice 'They're more likely to get their money's worth by buying a bundle from you so it will boost your sales and your profit at the same time,' Maisie added. 'You're only having to ship out one parcel and the buyer is only having to pay one lot of postage and fees.' The seller said wannabe sellers also have to be careful about how they draft listings on Vinted - as sometimes a post can appear as though it was shared earlier than it was. In another clip, the reselling expert explained: 'If you draft something and then a week later you decide to hit live and publish it, it won't show as a new listing. It will show when you drafted it, which was a week ago. 'It will come up older in the listings, it won't show up at the top, it will show up as being a week old which will affect how people are looking at your listings because a lot of people will search for newest first.' Recently, Maisie revealed how she sold a dress for more than four times what she paid for it. She purchased a WoolOvers boho linen dress for just £3.30 on Vinted as part of a bundle from a seller. Maisie then ended up reselling it on eBay for a whopping £20.46.
