As if her facial expression wasn’t a tell-tale sign of her joy, the actress wore a top which reflected her mood.

She donned the grey long-sleeve number with the word ‘Happy’ in a large bold font, followed by the words ‘is the new black’ scribbled on with white writing.

The design was accompanied by a stitched on smiley face and the star wore it with an ebony maxi skirt.

She teamed the items with sandals and aviator sunglasses as she walked through the parking lot to carry her plastic bag s back to her car.

The pixie-haired beauty – who is engaged to actor Olivier Martinez - was looking happy pleased despite her current custody battle with ex-partner Gabriel Aubry.

Halle is believed to be waiting to discover if she can get their four-year-old daughter to live with her in France along with Martinez.

According to TMZ, the judge in the star's custody case is ready to rule on her request to take her daughter Nahla to Paris permanently.

Sources tell the website that both Halle and Gabriel's lawyers have closed their cases and are waiting for the judge's decision.

The former couple may also appear in court as the judge has apparently said that he doesn't want to send a written decision to the pair's respective lawyers.
