Maggie Gyllenhaal is known for being a chameleon on the silver screen - capable of tackling the twisted fantasy of Donnie Darko to the rise of Victorian feminism in Hysteria.
But the 35-year-old did a good deal of shape shifting in her real life as she jumped from 1970s retro bell bottoms to a bizarre bohemian getup all in the span of a Tuesday afternoon in the Big Apple.
The fashion leaps, while apparently quite effortless for the actress, were more than odd in their choice and execution.
From drab... to drab: Maggie Gyllenhaal went casual in the day as she stepped out in New York on Tuesday, before changing into a bizarre eclectic outfit to attend a red carpet event later in the evening
A trip back in time: The actress wore denim bell bottoms and a hooded jumper, embodying 1970s casual during the day
Completing her outfit was a pair of turtle shell sunglasses, red nail polish, and a leather handbag.
But the bell bottom jeans and loose fitting top appeared to be more for comfort's sake than any kind of overt style statement.

Throwback Tuesday: The Secretary star continued her retro theme in a jumper made by Aviator Nation, a company specializing in 70s era style
Maggie has made a name for herself with her bohemian fashion sense and the slightly offbeat choice in attire was par for the course for the often creative dresser.
But her second outfit of the day may have brought her unconventional aesthetic to a whole new level.
The mother-of-two donned a clothing collage for her evening out.
Vested interest: Maggie wore what looked to be a sweater lined with faux rabbit fur as she attended the 2013 Riverkeeper's Fishermen's Ball at Pier 60 later in the evening
The Dark Knight actress sported suede knee high boots and black leggings.
Above the clunky footwear was a mid-length dress of patchwork patterned textiles, mismatched in both design and colour.

The overall impression of the fashion bricolage was one of subtle disorientation as a coherent thematic intelligence behind the design was not immediately apparent.
But if there was a message to the agglomeration it was one of boldness - which is consistent with the daring spirit of the well-respected actress.

The dress code for the nonprofit organization was 'blue jeans preferred' according to Newsday.
The group was founded to protect the Hudson River and advocate for clean drinking water in New York State.
Icon: Yoko sported her trademark quirky style with a denim jacket and black fedora
They were joined by the evening's honored guest - for his initiatives to care for the Hudson River - Mark Ruffalo as well as artist Jeff Koons, tennis champ John McEnroe, and Yoko Ono.
Ruffalo was presented with the Big Fish Award for his involvement in Water Defense, an organization he co-founded with the ambition of creating: 'a world where water is safe to drink, oceans don't rise and the economy is powered by clean, sustainable sources of energy.'
