A flare for the dramatic: Jessica Alba showed off the figure that made her a movie star as she pranced around in California yesterday

She is most famous for playing the Invisible Woman in comic book movies the Fantastic Four. But it was impossible not to notice Jessica Alba's fantastic flare as she donned an impressive pair of 70s-style bell bottoms while running errands in Los Angeles yesterday.First the shapely actress was spotted going on a brief shopping trip in the upmarket Brentwood area.

The mummy returns: Jessica was back on motherly duties as she took her daughter on a trip to buy school supplies

The 30-year-old was obviously in need of an early morning pick-me-up, as she visited Starbucks for a trendy ice coffee drink.
The Sin City star then took her ambrosial daughter Honor on an exciting trip to buy some much needed school supplies.
No doubt the thespian, who started her career with appearances in chldren's television favourite The Secret World of Alex Mack, would not be pleased if her three-year-old daughter could not do her colouring because she had an empty pencil case.

What heatwave? Jessica ignored the boiling California temperatures to don a sophisticated cashmere scarf

Jessica is looking back to her best after a gruelling exercise regime following the birth of her second daughter Haven in August, which she tweeted about to inspire her overweight fans.
And she showed it off to the full in an attractive blouse, which was tantalisingly unbuttoned at the top, her tight-fitting flares and fashionable sunglasses.
At one point she even belied the California heatwave to don an impressive black cashmere scarf.
Honor meanwhile looked cute in metallic blue leggins and a baggy T-shirt.

Brought to book: The Sin City favourite seemed to enjoy perusing the scholastic materials on display

One thing that must have marred their day out was a squadron of photographers who insisted on taking pictures of them walking down the street.
But old pro Jessica went about her business without losing her cool.
The classy Dark Angel favourite later dropped her youngster off at school, before heading off to work at her office in posh Santa Monica.
No doubt she will have been plotting her next move after starring in the hit Spy Kids 4D, which raked in $74m at the box office last August despite poor reviews.

She's very pap-ular: The old pro did not seem fazed by the fact she was being followed around by photographers

In you get: Jessica made sure her ambrosial daughter Honor was strapped in before slamming the car door

She's bootiful: It was plain to see Jessica was even more beautiful than her upmarket car as she left

Today she opted for a more practical ensemble as she went shopping.
The star and her husband, Cash Warren, took their infant daughter Haven Garner with them to the grocery store while eldest child Honor, 3, was nowhere to be seen.
The actress’ outfit looked like a Bit of a mish-mash as she wore two-toned boots with checked scarf and leggings.
