Hilary Duff shows off her sexy side in short thigh-high split skirt and chic leather jacket as she enjoys a late night dinner outing

She's arguably got one of the best curves in showbiz, so it’s hardly surprising Hilary Duff managed to attract the attention on Tuesday night.

The 27-year-old looked absolutely sensational as she sampled a sexier vibe for a dinner outing at the extremely popular Craigs' Restaurant venue in West Hollywood, California.

Turning heads as she passed by, the Hollywood beauty dressed her frame in a black leather mini skirt, complete with a thigh-high split and a matching sheer midriff top.

She polished off the edgy look with a leather jacket and classy white heels, while toting her belongings in a designer handbag. 

The mother-of-one wore her long, blonde tresses in a center part, which was styled in loose waves, while her facial features were made up with muted tones of makeup.

Earlier in the week, Hilary stepped out in Los Angeles wearing a stylish animal print maxi dress for the second time in two weeks.

The pretty star was spotted donning the memorable number as she picked up some groceries with her three-year-old son Luca.

The spaghetti strap, floor-length dress was embellished with a few animal prints, and Hilary cinched the billowing fabric in with a studded leather belt.

She coupled the dress with a pair of tan leather sandals, and had a pair of silver sunglasses clipped into her top.

Toughen up your look in a leather biker by IRO

Suede may be all the rage for SS15 but you can never go wrong with a bit of leather.

This luxe fabric is a perennial trend that will never go out of style so while it's fun to try a seasonal look, investing in leather will always pay dividends. And let's face it there's no quicker way to add edge to your look than a classic biker jacket.

Not just reserved for casual off-duty days we love the juxtaposition of a biker with a formal gown, little black dress and even floaty Boho maxi. Hilary Duff even paired her leather jacket with a leather skirt so really there are no rules.

Hilary's biker is by IRO but the exact style has unfortunately sold out. Do not fret, however, fashion fans. The hip French label has a new version you can buy at Net-a-Porter now (right).

Or get the look for less with one of the options in our edit below. Topshop and Nordstrom have the real deal or go faux at Asos and Boohoo.

Hilary completed the boho look with a pair of hoop earrings and a statement necklace, and kept her make-up natural for the outing.

She brought along her son Luca - with ex Mike Comrie - who sported a red and navy blue tank top, green shorts, and a pair of black and neon yellow sneakers as his mother pushed him in the shopping cart.

Less than two weeks prior, on July 18, the actress was spotted wearing the same dress as she was seen leaving a lunch date at Joan's on Third in West Hollywood.

For this outing she accessorized the look with a turquoise belt hung loosely around her slender waistline, and a pair of metallic gold sandals. 

She wore her blonde locks in loose waves, sporting some of it pinned back as a few wisps framed her face. 

Currently Hilary stars on TV Land series Younger, which is set to return to TV screens with its second series in January 2016 after the first received positive reviews.

The show marks Hilary's first starring role in a television series since her appearance as Lizzie McGuire in the teen sitcom of the same name which went off air in 2004.

Younger is based on the novel by Pamela Redmond Satran in which Sutton Foster stars as the main character - Liza Miller - who is a 40-year-old recently-divorced mother after her husband David (Paul Fitzgerald) left her for a younger woman.

After a makeover, Liza lands a job working alongside younger co-worker Kelsey Peters (Hilary) and the twosome strike up an unlikely friendship.

Hilary is also projected to reprise her music career after releasing three singles - Sparks, Chasing The Sun, and All About You - along with her latest track Tattoo.
