Entering the restaurant, Stella put a protective hand on the small of the singer's back in a subtle display of affection.

Miley and Stella also sported a pair of stylish sunglasses, while the pop star opted to flash her slender arms and belly in a slouchy grey tank top.

Stella's wavy blonde locks tumbled over her shoulders in a wavy and wild hairdo.

She opted for a pair of casual sandals, and tucked in a powder blue T-shirt into hiked up grey jeans.

Stella let her blonde hair tumble down in a wavy style, and she tucked in her casual powder blue T-shirt into loose grey jeans.

Patting her hair, Miley clutched a light green valet ticket and an empty water bottle as she breezed through the sidewalk.

The pair's casual lunch date was the second time they had been spotted together in less than two days.

Earlier, Miley and Stella were seen holding hands when they grabbed lunch at Nobu Malibu on Saturday.

The outing comes less than two weeks after photos surfaced of the pair passionately kissing during a break from filming Miley's new music video in Hollywood.

While Miley nor Stella have commented on their rumoured relationship, in an interview with V Magazine Stella confirms that she has a 'significant other' who she 'loves sometimes'.

Miley was previously engaged to Hunger Games actor Liam Hemsworth and dated Patrick Schwarzenegger for five months until they split earlier this year.

The singer has never named a female lover but has been open about her bisexuality, telling Paper Magazine recently, 'I am literally open to every single thing that is consenting and doesn't involve an animal and everyone is of age. Everything that's legal, I'm down with. Yo, I'm down with any adult - anyone over the age of 18 who is down to love me.'

The Tennessee native added, 'I'm just equal. I'm just even. It has nothing to do with any parts of me or how I dress or how I look. It's literally just how I feel.'

Stella is one of ten lucky models that were picked this year to join the lingerie giant Victoria's Secret.

The model was born in UK, and then lived in Belgium until she was 13. In one of her many moves, her family relocated to Canberra, Australia, then Wellington, New Zealand thanks to her father's job.

The 5ft 9in beauty was discovered at Otago University and started her modelling career.

She has since gone on to land coveted campaigns for the likes of ASOS, Alexander McQueen, H&M, River Island and Urban Outfitters, as well as Vogue and ELLE editorials.
