The fashionable mother-of-two was enjoying a bit of rest and relaxation with some friends in St Barts on Wednesday.

And the 31-year-old actress smartly donned a glamorous beach outfit as the trio of ladies frolicked in the warm Caribbean waters.

The Fantastic Four star dipped her slender feet into the surf as she sipped from a beverage in a clear plastic cup.

Her friends wore matching cut-off jean shorts as they took in the tropical climate in white tank tops.

The three girlfriends appeared to be chatting as they cooled off in the gentle ocean waves.

The California native was spotted leaving a clothing store, apparently on the hunt for some new fashion items from the Caribbean.

As she navigated the shops her toenails were clearly painted a bright orange, nicely complimenting her beachy ensemble.
