Ellen Pompeo dons a windbreaker and jeans while braving Hurricane Hilary for a coffee in LA
Ellen Pompeo didn’t let the bad weather in Southern California stop her from shopping for coffee in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The 53-year-old Grey’s Anatomy star, who called Netflix last month, wore a white windbreaker with black detailing.
The longtime actress wore light-colored straight-leg jeans with frayed, cropped hems and a pair of white sneakers.
For the trip to the Los Feliz district, Ellen has simply tied her long blonde hair into a ponytail.
The drinks run comes amid a 5.1 magnitude earthquake in the state as Tropical Storm Hilary made landfall in LA and San Diego with winds hitting 80mph.

The bad day order comes after Pompeo slammed Netflix for failing to pay the actors back balance.
The actress was provoked after footage of her appeared on Grey’s Anatomy as part of a meme shared on the streamer’s TikTok.
She again shared a screenshot of the clip and added a comment supporting SAG-AFTRA’s ongoing strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents major studios and streamers, including Netflix.
The original upload featured a shot of Ellen playing Meredith Gray with the caption, “Me if there is one.” [bomb emoji] in the chest cavity”, referring to an episode of the second season.
Ellen posted the snap to her Instagram Stories, adding a caption that read, “Me too if @netflix doesn’t pay the actors any balance.”
She added, “Holla.” “Let’s talk,” and offered to help the streaming service find a solution.
It was the first time Pompeo spoke publicly about the actors’ strike and expressed support for union members fighting for a more generous contract.
To highlight the lack of final payments to actors, several stars have shared photos of their meager checks.

“I Climbed My Soapbox”: Katherine Heigl and Ellen Pompeo reflected on Heigl’s controversial departure from “Grey’s Anatomy” in their “Actors on Actors” segment on Variety
Earlier this summer, Ellen was joined by former Grey’s co-star Katherine Heigl in a talk for Variety’s Actors on Actors.
Heigl, 44, left the show in 2010 after rumors of on-set feuds and a reputation for being “difficult” to work with.
Of her controversial departure, Heigl said, “I was so naive.” I got on my soapbox and had a few things to say, and I felt really excited about that thing.
“I felt really strong. I felt so strong that I also pulled out a megaphone on my soap box. There was no part of me that imagined a bad reaction. I felt like I was really justified in what I thought about it and where I came from.’
