Kaia Gerber braved the Big Apple heat wave in order to grab a vegan salad bowl to go in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood on Monday.

The 22-year-old DNA Model bared her midriff in a white tank top and baggy drawstring pants, which she paired with large sunglasses and black ballet flats.

Kaia got her brunette mane off her neck with a claw clip, and she toted a brown belt-strapped Burberry bag as she listened to her old-school Apple EarPods.

Gerber - who boasts 10M Instagram followers - recently posted a slideshow featuring a surreal behind-the-scenes modeling snap captioned: 'Born to dilly dally.'

On August 17, the Library Science book club co-founder will celebrate the 33rd birthday of her boyfriend Austin Butler, whom she hasn't been publicly pictured with since The Bikeriders premiere in Hollywood on June 17.

Kaia has been dating the Oscar-nominated actor - whose next films will be directed by Ari Aster and Darren Aronofsky - as far back as December 2021.

Austin was previously in an eight-year, live-in romance with High School Musical alum Vanessa Hudgens (which ended in 2019), who welcomed her first child with baseballer husband Cole Tucker last Wednesday.

Gerber previously enjoyed a 13-month romance with Priscilla heartthrob Jacob Elordi (who, like Butler, also played Elvis) after a two-month fling with Bupkis creator-star Pete Davidson.

On June 6, Apple Studios officially renewed Abe Sylvia's 1969-set high society dramedy Palm Royale for a second season, so the Bottoms actress will get to reprise her role as manicurist-turned-pregnant mistress Mitzi.

'I want to know what's going to happen!' Kaia told Glamour on May 8.

'It's probably hard to get your start in modeling if you're pregnant, I would imagine. I haven't had that experience, but motherhood changes everyone's lives, so I imagine it puts her on a completely different trajectory. I'm so empathetic towards Mitzi because I really do think she wants to be a good person.

'She wants to see the best in people and be optimistic and do what's right. She doesn't have the tools or resources to do that. So I have a lot of empathy for her under the conditions that she's under.'

Gerber 'was just so happy to be' in the dismally-reviewed satirical soap starring Kristen Wiig, Ricky Martin, Leslie Bibb, Amber Chardae Robinson, Laura Dern, Allison Janney, and Carol Burnett.
