The Italian Job star was dressed in all black, and wore a black face mask, and held onto his wife’s arm as he walked.
His glamorous wife added a splash of colour to her dark outfit by accessorising with a light blue scarf, while they donned matching baseball hats.
Sir Michael walked with the aid of a cane, which he has used since he suffered an ankle injury in 2018 after he fell on a patch of ice.
He closed his eyes as he rested on a bench outside a shop while he waited for Shakira who was inside picking up supplies before they headed back to their car.

Their romance has proved to be one of the longest marriages in showbiz, after tying the knot in Las Vegas in 1973.
In 2019, the veteran British actor revealed their how he met the love of his life after seeing her star in a coffee commercial.
‘I was at home and this commercial came on, for Maxwell House coffee. And there was this beautiful Brazilian girl,’ he told Andrew Denton’s Interview.
‘I said to my mate “we’re going to Brazil tomorrow – I have plenty of money, we’re going to find her.”
Much to the actor’s surprise, his dream woman was not on the other side of the world but instead a stone’s throw away from where he was living.

‘I got all excited and said let’s go down to the tavern to have a drink and this other guy comes in.
‘He said “we made that commercial – she’s not in Brazil, she’s on the Fulham Road” which is about a mile away from me.’
Michael reportedly called his future wife every day for ten days until she finally agreed to go out with him.
The couple have one daughter together, Natasha, 48. Michael has another daughter Dominique, 65, from his previous marriage with actress Patricia Haines.
