Melanie Griffith steps out in faux fur leopard print coat and shades as she works laid back glamour at LAX airport

 In 2014 she spent over £5k on faux fur after vowing to stop wearing the real thing.

And Melanie Griffith appeared to be sticking to her animal-friendly promise as she arrived at LAX airport in a faux fur leopard-print coat on Friday.

The actress, 59, worked jet-set glamour in dark shades as she arrived for her flight.

Glamorous: Melanie Grifith appeared to be sticking to her animal-friendly promise as she arrived at LAX airport in a faux fur leopard-print coat on Friday

Teaming the ensemble with fitted black leggings and a matching top, she accentuated her frame with spiked-hell ankle boots.

And accessorising with a multi-chain and large diamond earrings, she looked every inch the Hollywood star.

With her hair scraped up into a half ponytail and a slick of lipgloss, the actress pulled a Louis Vuitton bag behind her as she made her way to the terminal.

It's been 18 months since since she separated from husband Antonio Banderas after 18 years of marriage.

While he has moved on with Dutch investment consultant Nicole Kimpel, 35, who he's been dating for a little over a year, she was recently seen dining with a mystery mum.

Meanwhile Melanie's daughter Dakota Johnson from her relationship with Don Johnson, also an actress, has been going from strength to strength in her career.

Earlier this year Dakota revealed there is nothing sexy about filming simulated sex scenes for seven hours straight with her hunky co-star, Jamie Dornan, 33.

The Social Network star told Interview Magazine: 'It's not... comfortable. It's pretty tedious.

'Well, we're not having actual sex. But I've been simulating sex for seven hours straight right now, and I'm over it. '

While the How To Be Single star may have grown a little blase about the films that saw her be on Hollywood's radar for more than just who her parents are, Dakota is not blase when it comes to understanding that these days fame can be fleeting.

The 26-year-old said: 'It is a bizarre time right now, though. It seems like the world is so fast to move its interest to someone else.

'And now I feel like there's such a weird pressure to find the new face. I don't get it at all. I want to see women evolve. I want to see a body of work. I want to see all of it.
