The actress added white shirt and slip on loafers to her 50s-esque get up, wearing her bouncy blonde tresses around her shoulders.
The natural beauty added a touch of makeup, heavier around the eyes, with some hip golden earrings.
She took to the stage to discuss all things Doctor Who, enticing the crowd in The Big Apple alongside co-stars Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill.

Her outing comes after it was revealed the twelfth series began with a significant dip in viewers compared to last series, as three million less viewers tuned in for the show’s return on New Year’s Day.
Despite stunning fans with a dramatic twist that saw historic villain The Master return from the dead, the show struggled to pull in overnight viewers.
It comes after 2018’s series – the first to star Jodie as the titular Time Lord – saw a huge boost in ratings for the BBC show.

At the beginning of the last series, Doctor Who attracted just over eight million viewers, but by episode five – The Tsuranaga Conundrum – the iconic sci-fi show received an average of 6.1 million viewers.
Wednesday’s series return attracted just over five million viewers, and at one point viewers dipped to a low of 4.88 million.
However these ratings are not the lowest in the series’ history, as The Eaters Of Light pulled in a mere 2.89 million viewers overnight when it aired in June 2017.

The figures are a far cry from Who’s peak, which saw 13 million viewers tune in on Christmas Day in 2007.
An insider told The Sun: ‘Beeb bosses were hoping the downturn in ratings towards the end of the last series was just the novelty of Jodie’s arrival wearing off a little.
‘But the fact that the new season seems to have fared even worse will have them worrying whether it has less to do with who plays the Time Lord, and signs of a greater problem with the show. ‘

The insider added: ‘After all, the debut episode aired in a day when many people were still off work and school, so should have attracted a more substantial audience.’
MailOnline have contacted BBC representatives for comment.
For the second episode, Who will move back to its regular time-slot on Sunday night, so it remains to be seen whether the viewership will improve.
