Beauty and the beast! Emmy Rossum cuddles her pet dog while looking amazing in a blue sundress

Emmy Rossum may have had the cutest accessory ever when she went for a walk in Malibu on Sunday morning.

The 28-year-old Shameless star was joined on the stroll by her adorable dog, Cinnamon, as well as a friend.

Beautiful pretty much all of the time, Emmy's look was only enhanced by the presence of the brown-and-black Yorkie.

Upgrade your accessories with Emmy's Ralph Lauren tote

Every woman needs a handbag to rely on.

We carry our lives around in them so they need to be sturdy, roomy and stylish. And when it comes to the summer months, we want to ditch the signature black and go for something a little more lighthearted.

Step forward Emmy Rossum and her amazing white tote by Ralph Lauren. Part of the 'Ricky' range it's a classic style but with a seasonal twist. We love its soft leather slouch, buckles and metal lock hardware.

This kind of chic comes at a price, of course, but if you're feeling flush and in need of a treat then click (right) to buy one now. Or get the look for a lot less with one of the alternatives in our edit below.

We do love Kurt Geiger's version with its optional shoulder strap.

Her dark brown hair worn loose and straight, Emmy had a bit of wind to contend with while out in the upscale California beach town.

She covered her eyes with black sunglasses and wore natural hues of makeup for a laid-back look.

Emmy's dress was a royal blue, pleated mini dress with straps that sat high on her shoulders and a skirt that fell only to mid-thigh.

Simple and comfortable-looking, Emmy had white slip-on shoes to keep her feet safe.

While Cinnamon was the only dog Emmy took out for the morning walk, the actress has several other pets.

A black-and-white Chihuahua named Sugar and a black Lhasa Terrier mix named Pepper share Emmy's home with a black-and-white cat.

Two of the dogs are rescue animals, a cause that Emmy has vocally supported over the years.

Those pets might be seeing a little less of their human in the upcoming weeks - Emmy began production on the upcoming sixth season of Shameless on Monday.
