She accessorized with a gold chain choker and round Ray Ban sunglasses.

It was a solo sojourn for Nicole, who was without her husband, Joel Madden. The pair have recently been slamming rumours that their marriage is on the rocks.

However last week, she and Joel, 36, did embark upon a double date with newly married couple Benji Madden, 36, and Cameron Diaz, 42.

It was an adults outing, as Nicole and Joel were without their children, seven-year-old daughter Harlow and five-year-old son Sparrow.

The mother-of-two recently admitted that she does not intend to expand her brood.

'I am not planning on any more [kids], but you never know,' she told E! News in July. 'I don't wanna say I don't want them and then they come and I feel bad.'

She then added what she loves most about her life is 'my family.'

Meanwhile, Nicole can be seen in season two of her quirky VH1 series, Candidly Nicole.

The show documents her daily adventures and decisions regarding style, relationships, work, and life in general.
