She was wearing a long-sleeved khaki jacket, some light blue denim jeans, and a pair of casual trainers.
Meanwhile, Leo cut a smart casual figure in a bold orange shirt which he teamed with a white vest.
Leo teamed a pair of baggy blue jeans with the look as he sported a pair of boots.
It comes after the actress angered several A-list stars by asking them to leave their homes as they filmed the fourth, and probably final, film.
Stars including Harry Styles and Rami Malek who live near the North London streets where filming is taking place are not too happy with the production.
According to The Sun, film bosses have put letters through the doors of local residents asking them to only come and go at certain times to not interfere with filming.
A source said: ‘The film is causing chaos in this part of North London where they are shooting a lot of the film.’
‘Neighbourhoods with stars such as Harry, Rami, Ricky Gervais and Rowan Atkinson, living there are all getting letters from the production about not interrupting shots.’
The letters reportedly asked residents to either leave their homes during filming or not to come and go while the cameras were rolling.

The insider added: ‘It’s like they’re being held hostage by Bridget — and it’s driving everyone mad.’
The movie is based on the novel of the same name as Bridget battles motherhood alone following the tragic death of Mark, who was played in the previous films by Colin Firth, 63.
She will also embark on a love affair with a much younger man named Rockstar, played by One Day star Leo.
In the new film, Bridget enjoys a fling with Rockstar and PE teacher Mr Walker, as played by 12 Years A Slave actor Chiwetel Ejiofor as well as reviving her on-off relationship with Hugh Grant’s Daniel Cleaver.
Bridget was previously stuck in a love triangle with her late husband Mark Darcy (left) and her boss Daniel Cleaver (right), who was presumed dead in the last film before being found very much alive
