She completed the look with a pair of white trainers and swept her brunette locks back into a ponytail.
Sophie went makeup free during the outing after branding herself a nepo baby on Instagram.
Meanwhile, Janet wrapped up in a grey rain coat and a matching scarf, teamed with blue jeans and black walking boots.

It comes after Janet denied that her daughter Sophie is a ‘nepo baby’.
The former Blue Peter star, 67, insisted that her experience as a television presenter did not help her pop star daughter, 43.
Instead, she said that it ‘works the other way’ with her being more famous because of Sophie.
Appearing on Steph’s Packed Lunch on Wednesday, Janet said: ‘It works the other way for me, I’m Sophie’s mum!
‘Certainly in Sophie’s case it didn’t apply because what she’s doing is so different.
‘When she first started as a singer, and she was only 18, and people said to me “oh, that’s great, she’s doing something you can understand”, I thought “I don’t know the music industry at all”.
‘There was probably a bit initially where you know, she was my daughter, but oh my goodness, the tables have turned.’
The term ‘nepo babies’ was coined online and is used to describe celebrity offspring who land easily in the world of showbiz, cushioned by their parents’ famous names.

Lily-Rose Depp, Maude Apatow, and a slew of others were among those plastered on the front cover of New York Magazine’s The Year of the Nepo Baby cover.
Speaking on whether Sophie had to work harder because of having a famous mum, Janet replied: ‘Maybe although as I say, because she was doing something so different, I think people would just have thought “you’re not a presenter”.
‘If you go into the same business, I’m sure you do. I think it’s a curse and a blessing isn’t it?
‘Because it gets you there, people are interested and that’s flattering and if they like what your parent or relative did then they’re obviously going to want to jump on that bandwagon and then at end of it you’ve just got to be you.’
After the interview, Sophie took to Instagram to share an Independent news article which read: ‘Blue Peter legend Janet Ellis denies daughter Sophie Ellis-Bexter is a ‘nepo baby’
She responded by penning: ‘Actually I am 100% a nepobaby. If you search the pockets of everyone I’ve worked with, somewhere you will find the blue peter badge that I gave them to bribe them. Mwah-ha-ha’

Elsewhere in the chat, Janet confirmed that Sophie used to sell Blue Peter badges to fellow pupils at school.
She also admitted the she herself gave them out to traffic wardens to avoid getting parking tickets.
She confessed: ‘Well between her doing that and me, possibly once or twice, maybe giving a traffic warden a badge, a deserved badge.’
