The 27-year-old blonde, who describes herself as British-New Zealand, teamed her shorts with a black leather biker jacket that she wore over a simple white T-shirt.

And Stella carried a very precious accessory - their new pup, who looked completely at ease in her arms.

Kristen, also 27, chose white for the outing, donning a white Duck Stars T-shirt and white cropped jeans that she wore with white socks and black sneakers.
