Jessica Alba shows off the return of her fantastic figure

Jessica Alba once again proudly showed off her fantastic figure - just a month after giving birth to her first child.

The star of Sin City and Fantastic Four looked the picture of health as she glowed in the California sunshine during a shopping trip to Beverley Hills with husband Cash Warren.

Alba, 27, who was voted sexiest woman in the world by FHM magazine last year, gave birth to daughter, Honor Marie Warren, at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles at the beginning of the month.

And stepping out for an Independence day shopping trip in a summery pink dress, the actress was clearly enjoying being back to her original figure.

Jessica and Cash married three weeks ago after the pair met on the set of Fantastic Four in 2004.

The couple enjoyed a quiet ceremony at the Beverly Hills courthouse on May 19.

After her daughter's arrival, Alba vowed to be a tough mother.

She said: 'I don't want to be my child's best friend; I want to be a mom. But I do want my child to come to me when they have problems and need to talk, so it's going to be about treading that line.'

Less than a month after giving birth, Jessica Alba has shed all her extra weight.

The Fantastic Four star appeared to have regained her figure as she spent the afternoon shopping in Beverly Hills yesterday.

Dressed casually in tracksuit bottoms and flip-flops, the actress did however seem to be having problems with her back as she stopped for a stretch.

The 27-year-old, who married her long-time boyfriend Cash Warren three weeks ago, delivered her first child, Honor Marie Warren, at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles at the beginning of the month.

Alba's father was overheard saying 'she's beautiful', while Warren was seen carrying food into the maternity ward, sources told US Weekly magazine.

Alba has previously vowed to be a tough mother.

She has said: "I don't want to be my child's best friend; I want to be a mom. But I do want my child to come to me when they have problems and need to talk, so it's going to be about treading that line."

Alba met Warren, 29, on the set of Fantastic Four in 2004 where he was a director's assistant. Warren has since moved into producing.

The couple married in a quiet ceremony at the Beverly Hills courthouse on May 19.

Alba was dressed casually in a flowing blue dress and a ponytail, and sources say that aside from courthouse staff, no one else was present at the ceremony.

Jessica Alba black day

Jessica Alba stepped out with her huge baby bump last night in an unflattering, transparent maternity gown.

The Fantastic Four beauty, who celebrated her 27th birthday on Monday, showed off rather too much of her rapidly changing figure as she dined out in LA last night.

Jessica and her director's assistant fiancé Cash Warren, 29, are expecting a baby girl in early June.

Just four weeks ahead of the baby's arrival, the couple dined out at celebrity hangout Mr Chow in Beverly Hills.

Despite spending most of her pregnancy in a variety of flattering outfits, Jessica made a fashion faux pas on Wednesday with her all-black clingy ensemble.

Instead of her usual colourful, stylish outfits, Jessica combined a sheer black dress with a baggy cardigan, black tights and loafers.

The clingy dress struggled to contain Jessica's ample cleavage and the actress' lack of bra support left little to the imagination.

Despite her maternity fashion mistake, Jessica has been voted sexiest woman in the world by the Australian edition of FHM magazine.

After appearing in a trio of recent movies, Jessica is taking time off acting to be a full-time mother.

She has spent the last few weeks decorating the couple's new house in Beverly Hills.

At a book launch last month, Jessica admitted: "I'm just trying to get my house ready before the baby comes.

"It's kind of hectic, it's getting close and the house isn't even ready yet.

"I'm used to having to be somewhere all the time, and it's kind of the first time in my life where I really haven't been working in a while, and now it's just about the baby being healthy, the house being ready, and nesting, it's really different."

Jessica and Cash started dating in autumn 2004 after meeting on the set of the Fantastic Four, where Cash was working as a director's assistant.

The couple were reported to have briefly split last July, but reunited the following month.

They announced Alba's pregnancy and their engagement in December, and purchased their first home together weeks later.
