They've been copping criticism for baring their bodies in a variety of skimpy stage costumes during their Get Weird world tour.

But Little Mix held their heads high as they arrived at Sydney Airport on Friday, ahead of their concert on Friday evening.

Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall, Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock opted for casual and comfortable ensembles for their flight, leaving their daring outfits just for the stage.

The former X Factor UK winners seemed in high spirits following Thursday night's rousing Brisbane show - only the first on their three-stop Australian tour.

Perrie, 22, struck the perfect balance between style and comfort, favouring a nineties theme.

She slipped her svelte figure into a pair of ripped denim jeans, which she teamed with a white T-shirt and a black jacket, with some black plimsoll trainers.

Perrie's hair and make-up was styled fresh-faced and clean with her long blonde locks sleek and straight.

Jesy, 24, meanwhile, pulled on a loose-fitting khaki printed maxi dress with a low neckline which showed off her ample cleavage.

The singer styled her luscious brunette locks into loose waves which cascaded down over her shoulders, and applied lashings of mascara, kohl eyeliner and perhaps some fake lashes for her airport meet and greet.

The beauty also made sure to add a touch of glam, wearing a number of bangles and bracelets in addition to a choker for her off-duty look.

Leigh-Anne, 24, dared to bare in an orange singlet top with a V-neckline that flashed her cleavage to fans.

She continued the revealing look with a pair of thigh-skimming black shorts and multi-coloured sandals, tied up around her calves.

Although lugging a giant Louie Vuitton bag through the busy terminal, Leigh-Anne looked at ease as she greeted fans on arrival. 

Jade flaunted her taut tummy is an ab-revealing crop top paired with black yoga pants and matching sneakers.

The 23-year-old beamed as she took selfies with her admirers, who had waited patiently for their arrival.

Meanwhile, Perrie has been forced to defend the four-piece's stage styling after Twitter users accused them of wearing inappropriate outfits.

'Now tell me why Fifth Harmony are s**t-shamed for their tour but Little Mix aren't,' one user wrote.

'Little Mix are trashy to wear outfits like this and to dance in a sexual way,' another commented.

But Perrie has insisted the girls are well within their rights to inject a healthy dose of sex appeal into their concerts, saying: 'they won't be able to wear stuff like this for the rest of our lives'.

She explained to the Mirror: 'We wear what we feel comfortable in. We’re not overly sexy in what we do anyway. We go for sexy/cute. We’d never want to be ­scandalous.

'I think we’ve got the right kind of balance. Some of us are 24. We aren’t going to be able to wear stuff like this for the rest of our lives, and parade around in little dresses and stuff, but at the same time, we are just girls.' 

But first, let me take a selfie! Perrie helped one fan snap the all important photo
