After glamming up for the LA premiere of Hancock earlier this week, Minnie Driver opted for casual maternity chic for a stroll with her dog yesterday.

The 38-year-old star, who is due in August, put her bump on show in a black dress and settled on a comfortable pair of gladiator sandals for the afternoon walk.

Minnie recently revealed her  pregnancy was unexpected but very much welcome.

She says: 'It's exactly what I wanted, and always has been, but this was an unplanned event. I always had a feeling that my life would be a little unorthodox.

The actress, who has yet to reveal the identity of her baby's father, admits she's nervous about becoming a mother for the first time.

She told Hello! magazine: 'I keep thinking, "I'm still such a mess who gives my mother such a hard time. How on earth am I going to have anything relevant to say to this child?"

'All I can do is take stock of the really good, wonderful stuff that I know and pass it on. I'll try to create as much joy as I can in whatever form it takes.

Minnie denied reports she will return to Britain to raise the child.

She said: 'Definitely not. I'm fully planning on having my baby there. I've made my home in America; I love it.'
