Her brunette tresses were worn in soft waves that cascaded over her shoulders while her features were highlighted with a radiant make-up palette. 

Last year Alba made waves when she talked about fame and how she was afraid to stand up for herself at a young age during an interview with Flaunt magazine.

'I think a lot of the ways that I spoke in interviews when I was younger, I didn't have a ton of self-awareness around how my words are going to be taken and misconstrued….I think a lot of my discontent wasn't with Hollywood, I think it was me with myself,' she explained. 

She continued, 'I think I was angry with myself. That I was compromising how I wanted to be treated. I didn't stand up for myself, and I didn't know how to. I only knew how to fight.'

She talked about how she had an 'aggressive mindset' early in her career saying she was probably trying to 'defend myself against predators, being a young woman and knowing that people at any moment can take advantage of you.' 

'It doesn't even matter that it's Hollywood, it's anywhere in society, but with the layer of Hollywood on top of that, it bred really toxic masculinity and toxic behavior. I think my defense to that was to get out in front of it and be more aggressive so that they wouldn't even try.

'I think that was me being disconnected from my feminine, and me feeling like I was compromising myself, and I think a lot of my interviews are reflective of that.' 

Alba also reminisced on how angry she became when other people shared doubts about her future success. 

'I was told early on that everyone thinks that you're going to get your a** handed to you, and you're going to fail, and they're waiting for you to fail,' she said. 'I was like, 'F*ck that! I won't!' I was really intense, but I went in with a mentality of what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.'

She also said in July that she goes to therapy with both of her daughters.

The actress has daughters Honor, 14 and Haven, 10, and son Hayes, four with her husband Cash Warren and believes going to family therapy makes her a better parent.

Speaking to Glamour UK, she said: 'I went with both of them. And around puberty is when it's the time I think, for me, with my girls. That's when they started to sort of shut down and get really like, "I don't want to talk any more." And I'm like, "We're not doing this. We've got to keep a line of communication here. How can I be a better parent to you? How do you want me to talk to you? Don't shut me out."'

'First of all, this person [the therapist] has studied human behaviour and they're good at it. And they have no relation to you so they can be really objective and you create a safe space for your kid to really candidly tell you what's not working about your parenting. I was like, "Look, I'm not perfect. I'm not going to know all the answers, but I want to be a great parent to you. And what you like and don't is different from what your sister likes and doesn't like. And I'm going to make mistakes. Here's a safe space, you can't get in trouble – let me know what I'm doing wrong, or what you would like me to do differently. Or how do you want me to discipline you when you do screw up? What does that look like for you? And how would you want to be treated so you can still feel like you have your dignity intact?"'

Angry: She continued, 'I think I was angry with myself. That I was compromising how I wanted to be treated. I didn¿t stand up for myself, and I didn¿t know how to. I only knew how to fight'
