Bijou Phillips was seen looking strained on Tuesday, as she was pictured for the first time since having to cut ties with her estranged husband Danny Masterson.
The actress, 43, wore a light pink long-sleeve top and denim shorts, as she grabbed groceries from a store in Santa Ynez, California.
The former socialite kept it casual in a pair of grey Birkenstock sandals, and accessorized with a black shoulder bag.
Phillips appeared to go makeup-free for the grocery run, where she was joined by a friend.
The outing comes after Masterson, 47, was expelled from the Church of Scientology following his rape conviction that earned him 30 years in prison – which requires the That ’70s Show star’s family and friends to sever all communication with him.

Her ex husband has been declared a ‘suppressive person’ – or ‘SP’ – which the Church of Scientology defines as someone whose behavior seeks to impede the spiritual progress of those around him.
The label means fellow Scientologists, including his wife Bijou and his family, will be required to cut all ties with the convicted rapist.
But even with the expulsion, the church maintains that Masterson is innocent of all charges, according to insiders.
The shocking development was revealed by longtime private investigator Jeffrey Augustine on his website, The Scientology Money Project, which has been dedicated to exposing the alleged wrongdoings of the church since 2014.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Augustine, a former Scientologist himself, explained the reasons behind the radical decision to cut ties with a member they publicly supported during two lengthy criminal trials.
Augustine, 66, said the Church of Scientology had not planned to go public with the news and are still telling members Masterson is innocent and that former Scientologist Leah Remini conspired with other revengeful former members to disparage him.

‘According to my sources, Danny has been declared a suppressive person, which means he would be expelled from Scientology,’ Augustine said.
‘They are telling Scientologists that he will file an appeal and that he is innocent of the charges for which he was convicted.
‘They (church officials) declared Danny a suppressive person for not maintaining the high ethical standards for the Church of Scientology, and other reasons – but not because he was convicted of rape,’ Augustine added.
Masterson was convicted of two counts of rape in May. He was given his long prison sentence in September. A third rape charge ended with a hung jury. An earlier trial saw jurors deadlocked.
