 Unlike a lot of jet setting celebrities, Selena was still in the same outfit as she was wearing when she took off from London.

Wearing a pair of blue leather boots and black skintight lurex look leggings, she had her hair scraped back off of her face.

Beneath her voluminous floor length jacket she appeared to have a mesh T-shirt on through which he bra could be seen.

Wearing dark glasses, she had her earphones plugged into her ears and held her iPad. It came in handy at one point when she was trying to make her way through the crowd.

With people brandishing their phones for a photo in her direction, Selena managed to make her way through the melee and get out of the airport to waiting transport.

The star ensured she had all her flight essentials in the large leather rucksack she wore on her back.

It was only hours earlier the star was seen arriving at London's Heathrow airport, ready for her return home. 

She was seen striding towards the terminal with a group who were on hand the help out with the check in process.

With her head down she looked like she was trying not to draw attention.

Put your best foot forward in Selena's Topshop boots

Travelling in style, Selena Gomez was spotted jetting into Heathrow airport today wearing a pared back chic ensemble.

And it looks like Selena came prepared for the somewhat unpredictable British weather. Wearing black leggings and a vest, Selena wrapped up in a navy coat, completing her look with a rucksack and some petrol blue leather ankle boots.

What’s more, Selena’s booties are by Great British high street hero Topshop! A reasonable $150- click right to get your hands (and feet!) on them now.

Blue makes a welcome alternative to ubiquitous black ankle boots, and this pair will look great teamed with everything from skinny jeans to floaty floral dresses when the weather (hopefully) warms up.

Selena clutched her phone in her hand as she entered the busy airport flanked by her entourage.

While the singer gracefully made her way through departures, her assistant trailed behind with the baggage trolley. 

And she certainly didn't travel light.
