A day at the beach is anything but casual for Kate Beckinsale.
While most people would probably just throw on a tank, some shorts and a pair of flip flops for a seaside sojourn, the 40-year-old really turned up the heat in Malibu, California, on Monday.
Like thousands of people across America, the actress marked the Memorial Day public holiday by attending a BBQ.

However, this was not just your average cookout but rather one held at the multimillion beachfront property of Hollywood producer Joel Silver.
For the party, the Total Recall star went for a striking all-white look of a romper with short shorts - which showed off her toned and tanned legs - which featured a white sheer chiffon layer over the top.
Breaking away from her colour scheme slightly the actress made the look pop by adding a pair of silver pointed top pumps and a snakeskin handbag.

Looking much younger than her 40 years, the brunette wore her locks in loose curls which framed her face.
Keeping her makeup in muted tones, allowed Kate's natural tan stand out even further.
Kate attended the party with husband Len Wiseman but her daughter, 15-year-old Lily Sheen, stayed home.

One of the most well attended parties of the year, the annual bash this time around also drew in model Cindy Crawford.
The 48-year-old and her husband Randy Gerber soaked up the view from the Hollywood heavyweight's balcony.
The supermodel looked effortlessly chic in a black and white printed silk dress with her hair out and blowing ion the ocean breeze.

Despite posting a tribute photograph to the troops just prior the party image, some of her Instagram followers thought the term 'celebrating' was in poor taste when the day is to honour fallen soldiers.
The star-studded event was not just for couples either, with Gwen Stefani bringing along her new bundle of joy, Apollo, as well as husband Gavin Rossdale and sons Kingston and Zuma.
