Ali looked like a Charlie's Angel in the Seventies-style light-wash jeans, which she paired with a deep purple sweater and scarlet lips as she and Amy waited for the valet to bring over their cars.

The actress added a further pop of colour with orange shoes, accessorising with a white leather handbag and over-sized cat-eye shades.

The mother-of-one wore her highlighted layered blonde hair straight and loose over her shoulders.

Amy, meanwhile, tapped into her girly side with a long-sleeved black-and-white polka dot dress and black ballet flats.

She was dressed down compared to her glamorous friend, scraping her blonde hair back into a ponytail and opting not to wear much makeup.

The actress was seen holding a giant cookbook under her arm, perhaps purchased while the pair lunched at Wolfgang Puck's famous restaurant.

The pair have been friends for years after meeting during Ali's modelling days in Italy.

They became instant friends, according to the actress, and they later took acting classes together in Los Angeles before moving into an apartment together.

They are regularly snapped meeting for lunch, no doubt valuing their trusted friendship as they each navigate their film and television careers.
