Denise Richards Stuns in Leather at Divorce Hearing

had a smile on her face outside court in amid her with estranged husband Aaron Phypers.

The Wild Things star, 55, made a dramatic appearance at Stanley Mosk Courthouse on Thursday in an all-black outfit featuring a skintight, long-sleeved top paired with a leather midi skirt and matching, peep-toe pumps. 

Richards, who carried a studded leather clutch and wore oversize, cat-eye sunglasses over her eyes, was joined by her attorney and a buff bodyguard for the hearing.

Richards looked to be in high spirits despite Phypers's continued demands for spousal support amid his charges, which he has pled not guilty to.

In contrast, Richards's estranged husband had a seemingly solemn expression on his face as he made his arrival to the courthouse shortly after her.

Phypers wore a light blue dress shirt with the top two buttons unfastened and layered the button-down with a zip-up jacket and a tweed coat. 

He completed his court outfit with dark jeans and chunky, patent leather oxfords. 

Richards was married to Phypers for nearly seven years before he filed for divorce, citing 'irreconcilable differences,' in July 2025.

The estranged couple do not share any children together, though Phypers intended to legally adopt Richards' youngest daughter, Eloise Joni Richards, in 2019.
