Her highlighted locks were neatly styled in very loose curls with a side part.
The former Home and Away actress was later seen chatting amongst her friends before heading inside.
Ritchie was allegedly behind the wheel of her black BMW X5 xDrive40i 2023 when the incident unfolded on Dudley Street, Randwick, on Wednesday November 6.
According to eyewitness accounts, Ritchie’s BMW collided with a parked Mitsubishi Pajero, forcefully pushing it off the road and into a parked Kia.
She exchanged details with the driver before quickly leaving to pick up her nine-year-old daughter, Mae, who she shares with ex-husband Stuart Webb.
No roadside sobriety test was administered and NSW Police did not attend the scene.
It appears the drivers will handle the matter privately and Ritchie may be charged a hefty repair bill.
The owner of the Kia, who wished to remain anonymous, explained Kate said her personal assistant would follow up on the matter.
