Spotted: Jessica Alba takes the New York subway

She may be worth $40 million, but Jessica Alba proved she’s still enjoys the simple things in life, surprising commuters in Soho when she rode the New York subway with them.

Yellow cabs are notoriously hard to find after lunchtime in the city so the Fantastic Four star, who has been in town for New York Fashion Week, decided to head underground and catch a train instead.

Wearing an on-trend ensemble of a black and white pyjama style blouse, leopard print trousers and tassled shoes, the fashion conscious 31-year-old was accompanied by a friend and managed to remain relevantly incognito to commuters.
