Vanessa sported an oversized denim shirt for the outing with a skirt and sandals as she showcased her trademark bohemian style.
Camille was going for an equally-kooky look complete with white socks, brogues, a floral skirt and a funky sun hat.
Vanessa, who was in a relationship with Johnny for more than 14 years and had two children with him, had been expected to give evidence in support of the Pirates Of The Caribbean star’s case over a videolink.
But the court was told that there was no need for her – or his ex-fiancee in the 1990s, actress Winona Ryder – to give evidence because Depp’s claim that he has never hit a woman was only tested by the defence regarding Amber Heard.

However their bombshell statements were released by the court, showing both stood faithfully by his side. Winona said she was ‘absolutely shocked, confused and upset’ by the allegations against him.
She added in her statement, provided in advance of the trial: ‘The idea that he is an incredibly violent person is the farthest thing from the Johnny I knew and loved.
‘I cannot wrap my head around these accusations. He was never, never violent towards me. He was never, never abusive at all towards me. He has never been violent or abusive towards anybody I have seen.

‘I do not want to call anyone a liar but from my experience of Johnny, it is impossible to believe that such horrific allegations are true. I find it extremely upsetting, knowing him as I do.’
Vanessa described the actor as a ‘kind, attentive and non-violent person and father.’
‘On movie sets the actors, directors and entire crews adore him because he is humble and respectful to everyone, as well as being one of the best actors we’ve seen,’ she added.
Johnny is suing The Sun publisher News Group Newspapers (NGN) and its executive editor over an April 2018 article which alleged he was violent towards ex-wife Amber, 34, during their tumultuous relationship.
