She famously displayed her toned pins in a sexy burnt orange bikini for her role in James Bond.

But on Sunday, Halle Berry came crashing back down to reality and opted to keep her famous figure covered up as she stepped out in Malibu on her weekly grocery shop.

The 47-year-old actress, who is married to French actor Olivier Martinez, looked a million miles from the sexy star she is known to be as she dressed down for the day in a pair of grey tie-dye pants and comfortable flip-flops.

She teamed her low-key getup with a black strappy vest top, which she covered up with a matching sheer overlay blouse while accessorising with a stylish pair of aviator sunglasses and a white cap.

Halle was pictured bearing a huge smile as she headed over to a local newsstand to grab some of the latest magazines, clearly stocking up on a spot of reading material as she enjoyed a rare break in her schedule.

Earlier this month, the Hollywood star debuted new TV drama Extant, a 13-episode thriller where she plays Molly Woods, an astronaut who returns to earth having been impregnated by something in outer space.

Halle recently spoke about her decision to take a starring role in the CBS series, by telling Entertainment Weekly: 'The minute I started to read it, I couldn't put it down.

'I thought, "Wow. This is different". It's innovative. Molly is a strong female character, which I really love to play. Molly is a complicated woman with a complicated family,' she added.

The X-Men star, who is mother to eight-month-old son Maceo and six-year-old daughter Nahla, explained how she needed something exciting to keep her enticed.

'I was being offered parts that I felt like I had done before. They weren’t exciting enough for me to leave my family for four months,' the actress went on to say.

‘I realised some of the best writing especially for women, was on television.’
