Hilary Duff does geek chic in checked shirt and thick-rimmed glasses

She's one of the most high-profile former child stars in Hollywood.
But Hilary Duff proved that she's as down-to-earth as anyone on Wednesday as she took baby Luca for a daytime stroll dressed down in a checked shirt and black thick-rimmed glasses.
The 25-year-old, who is rarely spotted out and about without her one-year-old tot in tow, pushed the little one around Beverly Hills in his bright green stroller, while chatting to a friend.

Proving that she's just like any other mum, the Lizzie McGuire actress paired her loose-fitting red lumberjack shirt with a simple pair of black leggings for her day out.
She added a comfy-looking pair of black biker boots and wore her trademark dusty blonde hair loose and tousled.
Obviously more worried about her mothering duties than projecting a glamorous image these days, the starlet wore minimal make-up, covering her fresh-faced complexion with the over-sized glasses.
Although the actress is rarely spotted wearing specs, she stood out in the huge black pair, which contributed to her geek chic look.

Looking completely content, Hilary kept a watchful eye on Luca who was strapped into his stroller, while having a conversation with her female pal.
The tot looked as well-behaved as ever, dressed stylishly in bright blue trousers and a striped T-shirt.
A couple of days before, Hilary had taken her blonde-haired son to play at Coldwater Canyon Park in Bevery Hills, where he got to grips with a small black hockey stick.
The blonde boy appeared eager to learn the sport like his father Mike Comrie, former Canadian hockey player.

Already practicing his game face, Luca squinted his eyes with intimidation as he kept his green pacifier in his mouth and grasped the plastic mini stick in his right arm.
Standing barefoot, he was wearing a grey printed T-shirt featuring the image of a husky dog with stunner shades on, paired with striped pants.
At one point, the petite blonde and her son were seen next to a woman and her dog who apparently liked the smell of Luca, spotted sniffing at his behind.

The mother-son duo had a busy day at the park, also hitting up the playground, where Luca was seen playing on the swings.
As her son sat in the baby seat to avoid falling off, the 25-year-old former Disney star kneeled on the sand in front of him, pushing him for momentum.

The twosome also headed over to the plastic slide, where Hilary held onto Luca as he carefully slid down.
She was happy to be spending the day with her youngster, frequently flashing smiles throughout.
The Lizzie McGuire alum is certainly a proud mother-of-one, constantly seen taking Luca out and about in the Los Angeles area and tweeting about him.
