PICTURE EXCLUSIVE: Victoria Beckham keeps it cool in skinny jeans and flat sandals as she and David enjoy a rare date without their children at Nobu in Malibu.

They're one of the most famous couples in the world, and like to enjoy the finer things in life on occasion.

But even when dining at a top restaurant, David and Victoria Beckham are clearly too cool for school, as shown when they stepped out for a lunch date at Nobu in Malibu on Monday.

The long-term twosome looked casual yet still stylish as they arrived at the popular sushi restaurant for their daytime date, a rare outing with just the two of them, none of their four children in tow.

Daytime date: Victoria and David Beckham looked effortlessly cool and casual as they stepped out for lunch at Nobu in Malibu, California on Monday, a rare outing without their kids joining them.

Leading the way, 41-year-old Victoria cut a nonchalantly cool figure in a pair of figure-flattering skin-tight skinny jeans in a lightly worn slate grey shade.

With the denim rucked up and rolled up at the ankles, her flat flip-flop sandals smacking the tarmac as she made her entrance, showing that she has well and truly given up wearing her iconic towering heels at all times.

Completing her laid back, understated ensemble, the former Spice Girl sported a loose-fitting silky black camisole, showing off her lithe arms and a hint of her cleavage.

Easy style: Leading the way, 41-year-old Victoria cut a nonchalantly cool figure in a pair of figure-flattering skin-tight skinny jeans in a lightly worn slate grey shade.

No kids, no problem: It was a rare outing with just the two of them, as they put on a united front.

The brunette wore her long tresses loose and straight, falling over her bare shoulders, and she kept the beating sunshine out of her eyes with a white wide-brimmed fedora on her head.

As ever, Victoria donned a pair of tinted shades to hide her face and protect her eyes, keeping her gaze fixed on the ground as she emerged from her car with her husband to head into the celebrity hotspot.

David, meanwhile, looked just as blasé as his wife for their outing, the handsome retired footballer teaming dark jeans with a cosy navy sweater.

Comfort first: 40-year-old retired footballer David cut a cool figure in dark jeans and a navy sweater.

Heels no more! After years of wearing towering heels on a daily basis, Victoria showed off her laid back side in flat sandals.

Rare alone-time: The couple are frequently seen with their four children - sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz and daughter Harper - in tow.

Nothing to see here: The couple attempted to go low-key as they emerged after enjoying some sushi

Oh what a lifestyle: After dining at the sushi restaurant, the Beckhams were seen against the idyllic ocean backdrop before driving away.

Hat's a good look! The couple each sported a hat to protect themselves from the sun's flare - Victoria in a white fedora, David in a backwards basedball cap

Like his lady, the 40-year-old covered up in a hat, but a backwards baseball cap, and finished off his effortless attire with black shades.

Thanks to his very covered-up approach, the former England player obscured from view his brand new ankle tattoo, revealed on his Instagram page last week. 

After they dined at Nobu, the couple were seen emerging quietly from the venue before hopping into their lavish Bentley convertible.

David got behind the wheel of the slick ride as they pulled out of the parking lot to perhaps head back to their Los Angeles home, where they live half of the time with their children: they also have a base in London.

Help is at hand: The famous twosome were walked out by a member of the restaurant's staff to their luxury car to head home.

Chest a glimpse! Victoria revealed her tanned skin and bared her decolletage in her low-cut black

 cami top.

It was a rare sighting of just David and Victoria, the two of them clearly enjoying a break away from their three sons Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 13, and 11-year-old Cruz, and four-year-old daughter Harper.

However, the previous day saw the doting mother share a super-cute snap of her youngest child painting on a canvas in the bright sunshine while gushing over the youngster's talent.

Using an easel and working outdoors for inspiration, the youngster looked to have an eye for art as she went about mixing bold colours with large brush strokes.

The scenic surroundings made for an impressive workspace. The easel stood just feet from the family's swimming pool and the sunny blue sky added to the relaxing ambiance.

Little details: Victoria also toted on her shoulder a small slouchy black leather bag

Off they go! David went to shake their companion's hand before getting into his luxury motor.

Moving forward in their empire: After years working together, it was recently revealed David resigned from the position of Director at Victoria's fashion label to focus on his own brand: DB Ventures Limited.

Keeping it hidden! Last week, David revealed he added to his extensive tattoo collection with another ink

 on his ankle, but on Monday he wore jeans to hide it from view

Victoria captioned her picture: 'Fun day in the sunshine painting with @kenpaves X I love u baby girl X @davidbeckham @brooklynbeckham X #proudmummy X.'

The famous family have been spending their time in Hollywood in recent days, and were last week pictured out together - all six of them - out for a workout at their favourite gym retreat, SoulCycle.

Last week, speed demon David also spent some time away from their home to enjoy a road trip on his motorcycle. 

David and Victoria have been together for almost 20 years, and married for 16 and a half years.

After years working together, it was recently revealed that the sporting icon resigned from the position of Director at Victoria's fashion label to focus on his own brand- DB Ventures Limited.

Bye! Victoria happily waved goodbye to their restaurant-based friend before driving off in their Bentley convertible.

Slick ride: Hiding under her hat to shield herself from the sunshine, David drove the pair away

Don't lose the hat! Victoria made sure to hold down her white headgear before driving off

A Beckham family spokesperson told MailOnline that their decision to re-structure their various businesses and to disentangle their brands from one another is largely an accounting issue.

'David and Victoria’s respective businesses have grown strongly in a short space of time.

'They are different businesses – DVBL is a licencing and partnership business, VBL is a luxury, fashion brand - and it makes little commercial sense for them to continue to be merged together and report combined figures.'

Regardless of David's decision to leave the business, the former pop icon's business will undoubtedly continue to flourish - as she opened a store in Hong Kong earlier this month.

Artistic: Harper Beckham, four, certainly made mum Victoria, 41, proud on Monday when 

she painted a vibrant picture on canvas.
