Casual Friday just isn't an option for Reese Witherspoon.

The 38-year-old opted instead to sport a fashionable - and professional - ensemble that bared her toned pins and svelte arms for her end-of-week look.

Reese flashed a wide smile as she spoke on her phone after stepping out of her car in Westwood on Friday.

The slim Legally Blonde actress stepped out of her vehicle with an armful of items in her hands, including a stylish tweed jacket and a healthy-looking green drink.

She teamed her black peplum skirt with a maroon sleeveless floral top, adding a pop of colour to her all-black outfit.

Reese wore her blonde hair down in a stylish and wavy 'do, and appeared to have opted for just a dusting of pink blush to highlight her pretty features.
