The 31-year-old Pretty Little Liars actress looked chic in a white leather jacket worn over a red animal-print “Kendall” mini dress from Reformation.

Featuring a fit-and-flare silhouette, the tiny frock is designed with prints of elephants, cheetahs, and other safari elements.

It has a square neckline, thin adjustable shoulder straps, a back-zip closure, and a hem that falls a few inches above the knees.

Adding a hint of class to her summery casual outfit, Lucy accessorized with multiple stud earrings, a three-layer necklace, and several gold rings.

The How I Met Your Mother actress also carried her stuff in a beige Saint Laurent Loulou Matelasse leather shoulder bag, which you can buy for $2,290 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Wearing her hair up in a bun, Lucy shielded her eyes behind a pair of round-framed sunglasses and followed the health and safety protocols with a black face mask.

Her outing came just a few days after she was spotted packing on the PDA with Skeet Ulrich while on a lunch date in Los Angeles.

First reported by Page Six, Lucy and Skeet’s May-December romance rumors began after they were spotted sharing a kiss while dining al fresco at the Sweet Butter Café on Sunday.

A day after their PDA-filled lunch date, Lucy was seen on a coffee run alone in Los Angeles on Monday morning.

She opted for a relaxed outfit, which included a blue tee with white stripes on the shoulders.
