Rosie Huntington-Whiteley shows off her slim pins in skintight leather trousers as she touches down at LAX after partying at the BFAs

She wasn't afraid to take the plunge at the British Fashion Awards in London on Monday night, bowling them over in a low-cut embellished gown. 

But Rosie Huntington-Whiteley opted to cover up when returning to the warmer climates of Los Angeles, California, on Tuesday evening as the model left LAX Airport in a chunky jacket, though hinted she may still be feeling worse for wear as she concealed her face behind some dark shades.

Despite the darkening skies, the 28-year-old star shielded her eyes beneath a pair of over-sized black sunglasses while flashing a coy smile at the awaiting photographers.

The Mad Max: Fury Road actress cut a demure figure for her flight across the Atlantic, sporting a silver aztec print jacket, which featured a wrap-around waist to make for a more tailored and figure-hugging look. 

The girlfriend of action star Jason Statham teamed the design with leather trousers, which highlighted her lean legs thanks to their skintight fit.

Giving the look a glossy finish, Rosie sported a pair of peep-toe shoe boots with edgy buckled detailing and an over-sized black handbag to carry all of her in-flight essentials.

Get Rosie's edgy look with these faux leather leggings by Paige

She made a stunning appearance in a sparkly plunge neck dress at the British Fashion Awards in London. But Rosie Huntington-Whiteley decided to go for a more low key look when she was spotted at LAX back in LA.

The English beauty went for somber tones in her printed Iro jacket, Paige leggings and Burberry peep toe booties. The slick black pants added an edgy vibe to her laid back ensemble.

A great alternative to jeans, leather leggings are easy to pull on and pull off and go with just about anything. Team them with a crop top and biker jacket or a sequin tunic for a festive Holiday vibe.

The best part is that Rosie's pants are faux so no animals were harmed in making them. Click right to snag a pair at MyTheresa for $440.

The lingerie designer wore her signature blonde locks in a sleek yet voluminous style around her sculpted face, which looked to have been enhanced with a rouged cheek and a dewy pink lipstick.

She kept jewellery to a minimum, with only two dainty gold bangles around her wrist and small hooped earrings. 

The British beauty's return to the States - where she resides with her long-time partner Jason, 48 - comes after she exuded sartorial elegance at the British Fashion Awards.

Looking stunning as ever, the model showed some skin in a very low-cut Burberry gown as she arrived at the London Coliseum - but only narrowly avoided a wardrobe malfunction as she headed home from the bash.

As she got into the back of her waiting car, the catwalk queen's perilously plunging gown gaped open - leaving her at risk of revealing a little too much.

Clearly having been letting her hair down at what is arguably one of the biggest nights on the fashion calendar, the Transformers: Dark of the Moon star didn't appear to care too much about her near miss as she continued to laugh with pals.
