She’s currently filming NBC drama Aquarius but on Tuesday Australian actress Claire Holt enjoyed a relaxing day off.

The 26-year-old looked content in her exercise gear as she popped into a coffee shop with a pal in West Hollywood on Tuesday.

Claire, whose first big break came in the Aussie Channel 10 series H20: Just add Water, showed off her slim-line figure in a zip-up and black leggings.

Her blonde tresses were swept into a low bun and sported a dramatic side part while she did away with any heavy make-up and instead flaunted her flawless complexion.

She finished off her look with a pair of pink and purple trainers, stylish sunglasses and a leather handbag slung over her shoulder.

Since leaving Australia six years ago, the Brisbane-born beauty’s career has continued to soar.

Speaking about how she began acting, the starlet told Just Jared last year she began with commercials on local TV.

'I started doing TV commercials. I did a Sizzler ad, a Dreamworld ad,' she told the entertainment website.

As for keeping her fit figure in check, the stunner enjoys brisk walks. 

'I like to walk around and be outside,' she continued. 

'I get really depressed if I sit inside for more than a day, like if it’s raining. Sometimes in Atlanta the weather’s so shocking you can’t go outside and I get really sad. I have to be in the sunshine, moving around, outside.' 

Looking after herself: 'I like to walk around and be outside. I get really depressed if I sit inside for more than a day'
