Sexy in her skinnies! Trim and terrific Jennifer Garner displays her slim figure in tight denim jeans and a silky blouse

She often opts for baggier style jeans during her down time.

But Jennifer Garner wowed in a pair of skinny indigo denim trousers as she stepped out for lunch on Monday.

The 40-year-old actress looked trim and terrific in the tight-fitting bottoms which she paired with a silky navy shirt.

The Alias star also boosted her height with a pair of beige ankle booties with a slight heel.

The stylish and fitted ensemble showed that Jennifer had shed pretty much all her post-pregnancy weight since giving birth to her son Samuel in February this year.

Jennifer also wore her hair up in a flirty ponytail and shielded her eyes with some cat-eye sunglasses.

Trim and terrific: The 40-year-old looked fabulous in her ensemble as she went to dine at the Tavern eatery in the upscale suburb

And in an adorable nod to her husband Ben Affleck, the actress wore an 'A' charm on her necklace.

Dining at the Tavern in Brentwood, Jennifer was in great spirits, and as she left her lunch was spotted cooing over a newborn baby held by someone on the street.

Her solo day out came after she enjoyed a family baking day over the weekend.

During the outing, Ben seemed much more interested in his wife than sampling the baked goods as the pair enjoyed some do-it yourself cake making with their three children.

As Jennifer kept a tight grip on daughter Seraphina, three, who appeared to have more of her yellow frosting on her face than her cake, Ben stood up to give his wife a tender kiss on the head.

And it seems that the passion is very much alive in the pair's relationship, with Jennifer beaming from ear to ear as she enjoyed the romantic moment.

Business meeting: The actress was joined by a friend for the lunch

Friendly star: Jennifer stopped to sign autographs for fans

Ben showed off his domestic skills as he helped his children with the decorating, while the couple's eldest daughter Violet, six, appeared to be taking things very seriously - frowning with concentration as she decorated her confection in pink fondant.

Jennifer looked particularly focused on the task in hand, and the cake ended with a gaudy hearts and flowers design.

As the father of the household, Ben was left with carrying duties, and left the cake store holding a white box, with the family clearly left with some eating to do.

Doting: Jennifer was also spotted cooing over a newborn baby held by someone on the street

Earlier, the 40-year-old actor carried his eight-month-old baby Samuel in his arms, following Violet into a Pacific Palisades restaurant.

The actor even took his turn later carrying the growing girl, who seemed a little tired after the family exertions.

However, her younger sister Seraphina happily trotted on alongside her famous father, clutching his hand in the upmarket Pacific Palisades area.

Happy together: Ben Affleck planted a kiss on the laughing Jennifer's head, while daughter Seraphina's face was plastered with frosting on their day out in Los Angeles over the weekend

Family fun: Ben proved himself to be quite domesticated as he helped daughters Violet and Seraphina at Duff's Cake Mix in West Hollywood

Jennifer, 40, also took her turn in carrying little Samuel who was smartly dressed in a checked shirt, shorts and grey cardigan.

The family received some good news over the weekend, with Argo claiming top spot in the U.S. box office, ahead of Tom Hanks sci-fi epic Cloud Atlas.

Argo moved into the lead and lifted its domestic sales to $60.8 million through three weekends.

The movie tells the story of a mission to rescue U.S. government employees from Iran during the revolution in 1979.
