Rachel Hunter, 45, shows off her toned legs in cutoff denim shorts... after returning from pilgrimage to India

She had just returned from 'heaven' in India. 

But Rachel Hunter wasted no time slipping back into her new uniform of denim shorts when she stepped out in Los Angeles on Friday following her long flight from abroad.   

The genetically blessed 45-year-old looked far from jetlagged as she showed off her fabulous legs during a grocery run with a friend.

Rachel looked refreshed and revived in her blue-grey tank top, which also showcased her toned arms to full effect.

She partially pinned back her blonde hair, while letting the rest roam freely around her face and over her shoulders. 

The model finished off the relaxed look with a chic black purse and flip flops.

Her pal was also casually dressed in a black sweater and jeans, and appeared to be helping Rachel pile her groceries inside the trunk of her car.

The model leaned in to give her male companion a peck on the cheek once they had loaded the items into her car. 

Rachel appeared to have been in India as late as Thursday, and the model enthusiastically documented her trip abroad on Twitter.

In the early days of her time in India, Rachel captioned one snap of her riding horseback: 'Morning ride on Munna ... Moon in india #jetlag #india #heaven'.

It was uncertain whether or not Rachel was joined by her two children, Liam Stewart, 20 and Renée Cecili Stewart, 22.

Renee and Liam are Rachel's two children from her previous marriage to Rod Stewart.
