Rose McGowan shows off her toned limbs in short animal print dress as she totes pet pooch in her bag during leisurely outing

She has always garnered attention with her eclectic sense of style, so it’s hardly surprising Rose McGowan decided to mix things up once again.

The 41-year-old actress, who is married to visual artist Davey Detail, managed to turn heads as she sauntered through the sunny streets of Beverly Hills on Friday afternoon, toting one of her pet pooches in her bag.

Radiating a gorgeous glow, the Charmed star looked happy and relaxed as she lovingly carried her adorable dog Sasquatch in her large designer handbag.

She dressed her lean and slender frame in a chic animal printed dress with a short hemline, which allowed her to show off her slim legs, elongated in a pair of wedged flip-flops.

Accentuating her striking facial features and a slick of bright pink lipstick, Rose protected her eyes from the sunrays with classy black aviators.

Meanwhile, the American beauty recently made her directorial debut as she released Dawn, a short film about sexuality and youth in the 1960's.

The 17-minute film is available in its entirety for viewers to watch on YouTube and speaking about the film to The Creators Project, Rose explained the cautionary tale for girls in some detail.

She revealed: 'It's about a young girl in 1961 living under societal constraints and parental control; what we do, even in tiny, accidental ways, when we raise girls...'

Later adding: 'How we raise them to not have their instincts of self-preservation when they most need it, because the fear of being impolite is really deeply ingrained and it can have tragic consequences.'

Famed for playing Paige Matthews in the American TV series, Charmed, Rose has enjoyed a busy film career over the past few years.

She went on to star in the Quentin Tarantino Grindhouse films, as well as Conan The Barbarian and the upcoming The Tell-Tale Heart.

In January, Rose revealed in Flatt magazine that she almost left acting because of working with misogynistic directors.

'People get a pass because they're directors but you don't get a pass for being a bad person,’ she confessed, before adding, ‘I got really tired of being sexualised.’
