She's making her mark on U.S. television after famously playing Doctor Who's companion Martha Jones on the BBC for four years.

And one of the many reasons for Freema Agyeman's success in America so far is her stunning good looks, which were on full display on set of The Carrie Diaries in New York City, on Thursday.

The 34-year-old beauty sported a denim jacket and a flowing ornately printed dress as she ran through her lines in the summer streets.

The British actress plays Larissa Loughlin, a trendy style editor at a large magazine, who takes time away from her party girl lifestyle to mentor Carrie Bradshaw in the prequel series to Sex And The City.

The role already has people buzzing that Freema is bound to become a bigtime television actress with her sexy yet smart turn as the woman who made Carrie into the icon she would later become.

Rehearsing her lines for the CW show, Freema was playful on set as she carried a small plastic water bottle - keeping hydrated in the seasonably warm streets of the BIg Apple.

Barbara: Kate Nowlin was also on set going over her lines as she grabbed bit of lunch

The burgeoning star took time out from her busy day of filming to pose for memento snaps with adoring fans of the hit show.

But the actress was recently caught up in a recent controversy after the BBC's Doctor Who was accused of being 'racist', alleging that the Doctor's apparent contempt for 'primitive' people, and his passion for cricket as proof of a reactionary ‘whiteness’ pervading his adventures.

But following claims by a group of academics in a new book Doctor Who And Race, fans have rushed to dismiss the criticisms as ‘groundless’ and ‘ridiculous’.

Dad on set: Matt Letscher, who plays Carrie's father Tom Bradshaw, was present for the day of filming

And the BBC hit back claiming that the casting of Freema as the Time Lord's assistant in 2006 and Noel Clarke, who played Mickey Smith for five years is proof that the show was not racist.

Meanwhile, also on set in New York on Thursday was Kate Nowlin and Matt Letscher - who plays Carrie's father Tom Bradshaw.

The Carrie Diaries returns for Season two on October 25 on The CW.

AnnaSophia Robb 'not ready to be in love,' after kissing Vanessa Hudgens' beau in the Carrie Diaries

'I not ready to be in love,' says AnnaSophia Robb as she opens up about kissing Vanessa Hudgens' beau in the Carrie Diaries 

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

AnnaSophia Robb isn't ready for true love.

The Carrie Diaries breakthrough star - who was cast as a young Carrie Bradshaw in the Sex And The City prequel series - claims acting intimate with her co-star Austin Butler is awkward, especially since he's madly in love with his real life girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens and she doesn't feel ready for that kind of commitment just yet.

The 19-year-old actress explained in the latest issue of Seventeen magazine: 'One of the biggest challenges for us is to be sexy and flirty on camera because we just can't take each other seriously any more - kissing on camera isn't that fun ! But he's so cute! 

Not ready! AnnaSophia Robb plays a romantic on The Carrie Diares, but told Seventeen magazine she true love isn't for her yet

'He talks about Vanessa all the time. They're crazy in love! 

'I don't think I'm ready to be that in love. They put so much time into their relationship, and I'm too selfish right now.'

AnnaSophia might have landed one of the most coveted roles on TV, but she claims she wasn't always so lucky or successful and was considered an outsider in high school.

Rising star: The blonde beauty is on a hit TV show now but claimed that everyone thought she was 'weird' in high school

The blonde starlet said: 'I think girls are especially worried about being judged, and when you're in high school, everything seems like a bigger deal than it is. As soon as you're out, it feels like forever ago - zip-a-dee-doo-dah!

'So do what you want, and if people are going to judge you for it, who cares? 

'You might not fit in, but that's OK. Everyone thought I was weird in high school!'

She is playing a 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw so it's vital the stylists get it right.

But going by AnnaSophia Robb's latest look on the set of The Carrie Diaries SJP would mightily approve. 

The teen prequel to Sex and the City is due to air very soon and in the run-up Robb has been snapped in myriad 'teen Carrie' get-ups.

AnnaSophia Robb was spotted filming scenes for the Carrie Diaries in New York on Wednesday - she plays the titular role

The latest, while filming in New York on Wednesday, did not disappoint. 

The 19-year-old actress was seen in a flared black and white animal print skirt, fuchsia blazer with pearl buttons and a dusky pink winter jacket. 

In a pleasing contrast to the skirt she also wore black opaque polka dot tights. 

Wedged patent heels finished the ensemble off and she toted her trademark Carrie bag. 

Quirky: The 19-year-old must emulate Carrie's edgy style as she plays the 80s version of the SATC star

In character: In one scene Carrie gets dropped off to an office building in Madison Square Gardens by her dad

It appeared that Robb was being filmed waving goodbye to her 'dad' before she scampered into the office block where her character is interning. 

The hotly anticipated show will debut next January. 

It revolves around the exploits of a young Carrie Bradshaw who leaves her Connecticut home for the hustle bustle of New York City where she takes a job as an intern at a law firm, and soon meets a new cast of characters.

Robb has been busy filming scenes for the show wearing a variety of fashionable outfits including a black tulle gown that brings back memories of the tutu Sarah Jessica Parker wore in the original show's opening credits.

Scene stealer: Robb is perfectly cast as the 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw

Hotly anticipated: The show is still filming but is believed to airing in late January

Making her debut on U.S. television, Freema Agyeman is certainly giving the American audience something to remember.

Starring in the hotly anticipated Sex & The City prequel, The Carrie Diaries, the British actress plays a style editor in the first episode.

Style maven Freema's character Larissa Loughlin is far cry from her role as Doctor Who's companion Martha Jones.

Good companions: Former Dr Who star Freema Agyeman strips down to her bra for new role in The Carrie Diaries

The first instalment of the teen comedy-drama series aired on The CW channel on Monday night.

16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw - played by AnnaSophia Robb - has just lost her mother and is having to deal with a rebellious younger sister Dorrit and a struggling single father Tom.

But a chance encounter with Larissa in a department store puts Carrie on the fashion track, even if her newly found mentor is somewhat an eccentric.

Fashion guru: The British actress, who also starred in Law & Order: UK, plays style editor Larissa

Mentor: Freema's character takes a young Carrie Bradshaw under her wing after bumping into her in a New York department store in the premiere episode of the US show.

Over share: Larissa drags Carrie into a changing room and whips her top off as she tries on a blue dress, exposing her leopard print bra.

Freema joins the British-born actors taking U.S. television by storm and will no doubt hope her success could match that of Golden Globe winner Damian Lewis and House star Hugh Laurie.

Even though she only appears in one episode at the moment, this show is certainly the first step on that upward trajectory towards stardom, especially now that Gossip Girl has concluded.

And Freema will be hoping to get noticed for more TV or film roles now that she's made a rather saucy impression.

Kleptomaniac: Larissa steals the blue dress after using Carrie, played by AnnaSophia Robb, as a decoy

Her character ends up exposing her underwear after meeting Carrie and dragging her into changing room to try on a blue dress.

But it turned out, Larissa is a closet kleptomaniac, and applied the five finger discount to her desired item.

The Carrie Diaries airs every Monday 8/7pm on The CW channel.

Premiere: The Carrie Diaries opening episode was aired on The CW on Monday night

Retro: The series is set in 1984, when Sex & The City's Carrie would have been in high school

Where's the rest of the girls? As Carrie doesn't meet Samantha, Charlotte or Miranda until she moves to Manhattan they won't be appearing in this series
