The Fantastic Four actress, who is rumoured to be expecting twins, kept it casual with a full length black summer dress and flip flops as she hit the stores with her fianc Cash Warren.

Jessica, who recently revealed she is in her "third trimester", opted for a relaxed approach to fashion after making a dazzling appearance at the Academy Awards earlier this week in a strapless Markesa dress with Cartier jewellery.

She presented a gong at the ceremony, and noted on her MySpace blog she was relieved to have made it through without tripping over her dress on stage.

But she did lose her balance away from prying cameras.

She wrote: "I did have a stumble backstage... Cash caught me. Luckily all the photographers were taking pictures of Cameron Diaz looking gorgeous in pink."

She also revealed she passed over VIP parties in favourt of a quiet night with her fiance.

"Instead of hitting up the Governor's Ball or any other party, we opted for sweats and In-N-Out Burgers," she noted.

"Being preggers kind of takes the fun out of partying until the wee hours. Sleep always sounds so much better these days."

Jessica, who announced her pregnancy in December and got engaged weeks later, is also adjusting to her changing shape.

She has said: "When you're pregnant, your breasts are engorged and your stomach is getting bigger by the second."

"But it's awesome. It's the best time ever."
