Hilary Duff cut a casually-fashionable look after shopping in Studio City on Friday.
The 35-year-old actress donned a white tight tank top and form-fitting black leather pants. She carried a light brown coat with darker brown fringe.
She slung a black handbag over her left shoulder, and she carried a blue Urban Outfitters plastic bag as well.

The Lizzie McGuire actress' hair was pulled back in a loose, messy bun, and she walked in pristine white shoes.
She tossed her belongings in on the right side of the car before walking over to the driver's seat.
The Houston native's appearance out came after she lambasted Ballast Books for publishing her late ex-boyfriend Aaron Carter's posthumous, unfinished tell-all memoir.

Last week, the actress and singer told DailyMail.com exclusively that her ex Aaron Carter's upcoming 'heartless money grab' book was 'disgusting' due to his claims that the two had lost their virginity together as teens.
Following her ex-boyfriend Aaron Carter's tragic death on November 5, when he was discovered in a bathtub, Hilary looked back fondly on the troubled singer and rapper in a moving social media post.
'I'm deeply sorry that life was so hard for you and that you had to struggle in-front of the whole world,' she wrote, addressing her comments to Aaron.
She added that he had an 'absolutely effervescent' charm during the time they spent together, adding, 'boy did my teenage self love you deeply.'

But Hilary took a harsher approach after excerpts were released from the tell-all memoir Aaron Carter: An Incomplete Story of an Incomplete Life, which Aaron had been working on prior to his death with co-author Andy Symonds.
While speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com last week, the Younger star slammed the book as a 'heartless money grab' for its claims that she and Aaron lost their virginities together when she was 'maybe' 13 and he was 12.
'It’s really sad that within a week of Aaron’s death, there’s a publisher that seems to be recklessly pushing a book out to capitalize on this tragedy without taking appropriate time or care to fact check the validity of his work,' she said.
'To water down Aaron’s life story to what seems to be unverified click-bait for profit is disgusting. In no way do I condone shedding any light on what is so obviously an uninformed, heartless, money grab.'
A excerpt obtained by the New York Post reads: 'Hilary and I lost our virginity to each other at a hotel… in LA. I think it was her birthday, maybe her 13th [September 28 2000], but I don’t remember. Her friends walked in, and we just yelled at them to get out.'

Carter's management team joined in on the criticism of the book, which was set to be released only 10 days after Carter's death.
But following the uproar, the publisher Ballast Books announced plans to delay its release, though a new date has not yet been announced.
Despite the controversy, Aaron's co-author Andy Symonds defended his work on the book.
'Aaron Carter hired me to help him tell the world his story. That story, while tragically cut short, was filled with good and bad,' he told DailyMail.com in another exclusive. 'His life was far from pretty, and understandably certain people in the public eye don't want some of the stories Aaron tells in his book to come to light.'
He added, 'That doesn’t make them any less true or newsworthy. Aaron had a right — as we all do — to tell his story. As a journalist, I am honored that he chose me to help him do that.
'In addition to being cathartic for him, Aaron hoped this book would help others struggling with addiction and mental illness. I hope and believe it will do that.'
