The Australian beauty - nicknamed 'The Body' on account of her incredible figure - showcased her long legs in a pair of skintight leggings as she stepped out in an uncharacteristically low-key look. 

Despite spending much of the previous month soaking up the sun in a whole host of glamorous European destinations, including the likes of St Tropez, Sardinia and Portofino, Elle seemed happy to be back to the daily grind as she went about her day. 

The star emphasied her perfect complexion by pinning her long blonde locks from her face, and accessorised with a huge glowing smile. 

Elle looked effortlessly stylish, pairing her form-fitting black leggings with an oversized white shirt and knitted navy cardigan.

Adding a hint of summer-style to her low-key wardrobe, Elle donned a pair of black wayfarer shades and a pair of pristine white trainers.

The mother-of-two completed her ensemble with a practical tan leather satchel bag. 

Keeping her fans up-to-date with her yachting escapades over the past few weeks, the TV host showcased her toned and trim figure in a variety of swimsuit selfies.

Taking to Instagram, Elle couldn't help but showcase her lithe figure in an array of chic and stylish swimwear.

And while she tried to stay away from the distracting lure of social media - presumably to enjoy some quality time with her businessman husband Jeffrey Soffer - the blonde beauty showcased her summer beach style.

Obviously making the most of her time on the yacht, the supermodel displayed her toned body in a range of bikinis and form-fitting ensembles whilst working on her enviable tan.

Elle and Jeffrey began their relationship in 2009 and barring a six month break in 2012, have been together ever since, marrying in 2013, with the model becoming step-mother to his children.

Elle's two sons from her relationship with French financier Arpad Busson - whom she split from in 2005 - Flynn, 17, and Cy, 12, also joined the couple on their summer voyage.
