She's got baggage! Kate Beckinsale looks effortlessly stylish while pushing cart full of luggage as she touches down in LA

Kate Beckinsale pushed a cart full of luggage in style on Thursday upon arriving at Los Angeles International Airport.

The 42-year-old English actress was effortlessly fabulous in an all-black ensemble that featured long sheer sleeves.

Beckinsale had her shiny chestnut brown hair down in soft curls below her shoulders and accessorised with round mirrored sunglasses and a plain choker necklace.

The Underworld star had several suitcases stacked up as she returned to Los Angeles after a trip to Europe.

Beckinsale attended the after party for the Christian Dior Cruise 2016/2017 presentation on Tuesday night at the private members club LouLou's in London. 

She also attended the Lady Dior party on Monday at the Audley pub in Mayfair, London.

Beckinsale was praised by her Pearl Harbor director Michael Bay, 51, on Wednesday after she told a story on The Graham Norton Show about being cast in his 2001 epic war movie.

The actress while on the chat show on May 29 said that Bay told her that she would have to 'work out' for her role as a 1940s nurse.

Bay took to his website to shoot down the body-shaming story.

'Really? This poster has hung proudly over my desk for 15 years. Yesterday I read in the press that I don’t think Kate Beckinsale is ''a stunning beauty,'' huh?,' Bay wrote along with a photo of a Pearl Harbor poster featuring Beckinsale as Lieutenant Evelyn Johnson.

'And they went on to suggest that Kate and I don’t like each other? Well, totally untrue. Kate and I are friendly. She is a fantastic actress, very funny, witty lady, sassy, speaks her mind, and I truly respect her,' Bay added.

The Bad Boys director pointed out that Beckinsale has 'come to so many of my Christmas parties and Birthday parties'.

'The reporter made her story into some scandalous confrontation, when it was nothing of the sort. Spoke to Kate today and she felt she told a funny story,' Bay wrote.

'So I guess I was the "bad guy" 16 years ago for suggesting a trainer because she just had her new beautiful baby girl - and she was about to enter into an intensive action movie. Note to reporters: 95 per cent of leads in movies have trainers and drink green juice!,' he concluded.

Beckinsale was on the chat show promoting her latest movie Love & Friendship based on the Jane Austen novel Lady Susan.

The critically acclaimed romantic comedy was set for wider release on Friday in the US and was released last week in the UK.
