She gave birth just shy of 10 weeks ago and already Halle Berry appears to be back to her trim and toned pre-pregnancy figure.

After stepping out in layers of baggy clothes on Saturday night for the first time since welcoming son Maceo Robert Martinez into the world on October 5, the Oscar-winner gave a much better glimpse of her svelte frame as she picked up some groceries at West Hollywood's Bristol Farms on Thursday.

The 47-year-old shed her winter woollies as she embraced the sunshine in a tight light grey midi-dress worn as a skirt, with a gathered black tank over the top.

While even side-on the actress appeared not to have any trace of a belly, she wisely chose the baggy, draped top for its figure-disguising qualities.

The mom-of-two looked relaxed and fairly well-rested on the casual outing despite having a newborn at home.

She donned comfy flip flops and wore large brown aviators over her no-doubt tired eyes, while she chose to forgo a bulky handbag and simply clutched her car keys and wallet in her spare hand while carrying her bag of goodies in the other.

The star appeared to be wearing little to no make-up, though her complexion was flawless as ever.

Her short cropped brunette tresses were worn in a sleek style that fell down low in a sideswept fringe over her left eye.

Halle has a lot to celebrate this Christmas, with a new husband and baby joining five-year-old daughter Nahla from her previous relationship with model Gabriel Aubry.

The X-Men star wed French actor Olivier Martinez, 47, in a private ceremony in Vallery, France on July 13 - less than three months before the couple welcomed their first child together.

The new mom was likely eager to quickly regain her figure following the birth of her son, with new series Extant set to begin filming early in the New Year.

She's also getting ready to step behind the camera as she executive produces miniseries Hannibal, which is being developed for the History Channel.

Halle Berry has become the latest star to tackle the story of Hannibal as the producer of a new mini-series about the 264 B.C. African military leader.
The Oscar winner has teamed up with History channel and A+E Studios executives to adapt the story for the small screen.
She says, "Hannibal was not only the greatest African general to ever live, he may have been the greatest general, period. His story is an intricate and captivating ride and I’m thrilled to get this project off the ground with our partners at History."
The project will chart the future general's upbringing in Carthage and his efforts in the Second Punic War, during which he led his nation against Rome.
Alexander Siddig previously portrayed Hannibal on the small screen and Victor Mature portrayed the general on the big screen in 1959, while Vin Diesel has been attempting to get a Hannibal project off the ground for years.

She hasn't been seen since giving birth to her son at the start of October.

But Halle Berry stepped back into the public eye on Saturday night, and she looked better than ever.

The actress debuted her very slender post-pregnancy figure as she took daughter Nahla to see a live stage performance of The Lion King at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood along with husband Olivier Martinez.

In superhuman form, the 47-year-old appears to have pinged right back into shape, showing off her slim frame in a pair of tight-fitting black trousers.

She did, however, cover up her top half, teaming the bottoms with a baggy grey sweater worn underneath a patchwork cape complete with hood.

She accessorised with a pair of MANGO black wedge suede sneakers with four leather straps and a black clutch bag.

With minimal makeup on her complexion, the new mother glowed as she and her family made their way through the sea of audience members.

French actor Olivier, also 47, was seen carrying a sleepy Nahla, who was dozing off on her step father's shoulder.

The couple no doubt left their newborn at home with a caretaker as they enjoyed the family night out.

The Oscar winning actress gave birth to her baby boy in Los Angeles two months ago.

It is the first child for Halle and Olivier, with the Die Another Day star sharing five-year-old Nahla with ex-fiancé Gabriel Aubry.

E! Online reported at the time of the birth that Halle had delivered her bundle of joy at Cedars Sinai Hospital, where countless celebrity children have been born over the years.

The delivery came just a day after the Catwoman star had been spotted out in West Hollywood at restaurant Rivabella, looking ready to pop in a sheer shirt covering her huge bump.

During her pregnancy, Halle revealed that she was thrilled to be expecting again, having previously called the conception a 'miracle' due to her older age.

As for the first-time dad, the Parisian S.W.A.T. actor told People: 'My son will remain an American, but I will remain French,' he explained. 'I remain a Frenchman in America, but I adapt to American culture.'

In no time: Halle appears to have shed her baby weight in superhuman time

Halle and Olivier were married in a stunning ceremony in Vallery, France, in July, where she wore a beautiful Jenny Packham gown.

The Monster's Ball Oscar winner was previously married to baseball player David Justice in the early 1990s and to singer Eric Benét in the early 2000s.

While motherhood is obviously the only thing on her mind right now, the actress recently signed on to star in a serialised drama coming to CBS next summer called Extant, a 13-episode thriller.

She will play an astronaut trying to reconnect with her family when she returns after a year in outer space. Her experiences lead to events that change the course of history.

The series is being made in partnership with Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television, which made last summer's surprise hit for CBS, Under the Dome.
