She wore it over a black bandeau and denim short shorts with rainbow fringe and pink piping along the front pockets.
The A Star Is Born actress complemented the jacket with glittery rainbow thigh-high platform heeled boots.
She completed the ensemble with a pair of gold-framed round sunglasses, matching gold necklaces and a black beret with a rainbow rim, over a blonde ponytail that reached the bottom of her shorts.
