The Baywatch vet, 52 — who recently went out for the first time since shaving off her signature blonde locks — appeared to be in good spirits as she shopped at Smart & Final amid her breast cancer battle.
The actress stepped out of her car and carried various tote bags for the grocery trip. For the casual outing, she opted for a loose black tee and trendy ivory trousers.
She accessorized with dark sunglasses and brown sandals with a gold buckle accent.

Nicole, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer in December, told Inside Edition that her doctors found more of the disease present in her system despite undergoing treatment.
She told the outlet in February that she 'kicks' herself for not performing self exams and for the breast implants she got at 19 affected her ability to detect any anomalies.
The actress explained that she first knew something wrong in October after gaining 25 pounds and experiencing pain in her left breast.
Results from a mammogram and three biopsies confirmed her fears and she was diagnosed with stage 2 Cribriform Carcinoma breast cancer.
'When I felt it, my heart dropped and I was like oh my god. Nobody could take me, so I walked into every breast care center. It’s horrifying because every day and every minute that passes, you know it’s growing,' she said recalling the moment.
She told the outlet of her rare condition, warning viewers to take mammograms and self exams seriously.
'My heart dropped, I lost all hearing, everything sank. It’s named invasive cribriform carcinoma. It’s very rare,' she explained.
'The self-exams, I’m telling you, I kick myself. That’s the one thing I should have been doing.'
