Kate Beckinsale traded in her designer handbag yesterday for another popular Hollywood accessory - an adorable puppy.

The actress proudly toted her new furry bundle during an afternoon outing with her 9-year-old daughter Lily in Los Angeles yesterday.

The actress is in nesting mode after shooting a string of new films, including the crime drama, Nothing But The Truth and comedy Everybody's Fine, alongside Robert De Niro.

She is also set to play a US marshal tracking a killer in Antarctica in the £25million drama Whiteout.

Producers had to hire a £1,000-a-day nude stand-in after the 34-year-old refused to bare her derriere in a shower scene.

In the past the actress, who earns £3.2million for a film, has not been shy of squeezing into sexy clothing and almost showed her bottom in Uncovered in 1994.
