She recently gained 35lbs for her role in Jason Reitman's upcoming comedy Tully.

But Charlize Theron appears to have started slimming down since shooting wrapped on the film earlier this month.

The 41-year-old method actress flaunted her long slender limbs in a checkered mini dress as she enjoyed a day at the spa in West Hollywood on Tuesday.

The Academy Award-winning actress went casual cool in the short black and white plaid frock.

She kept in line with the laid-back look in a pair of bright white Converse sneakers.

In one arm the blonde beauty carried a cosy grey sweater, black leather wallet and Christophe Robin bag from the Goddard + Bragg salon.

The Mad Max: Fury Road star skipped the cosmetics which allowed her natural beauty and youthful complexion to shine through.

Charlize shielded her emerald green eyes from the southern California rays in a pair of oversized dark movie star shades.

The South African-born stunner - who portrays mother-of-three Marlo in the movie - wrapped filming earlier this month.

In the film, her character Marlo is gifted a night nanny named Tully by her brother, and the pair forge a unique bond as the unpredictable and sometimes challenging Tully helps Marlo re-gain control of her life.
