For the outing, Carpenter, 55, donned a black graphic T-shirt with baggy jeans and white sneakers. She wore her long, brown hair loose and finished the look with a pair of sunglasses. Carpenter chatted on her phone while walking her small, white dog in East Village.
Her casual look made her nearly incognito in the new snaps.
Carpenter appeared in the first three seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer from 1997 to 1999. From 1999 to 2004, the actress starred in the spinoff Angel, in which her character was killed off.
Additionally, Carpenter is known for appearing in The Expendables and The Expendables 2.
In early July, she weighed in on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, telling IGN, “I am so excited for fans, and I know it will be fantastic because of who’s involved.”
Carpenter added, “To see this actually happen for the fans makes me thrilled. I am so hopeful to be included, for Cordelia to be a part of this new iteration.”
