Keeping comfortable for the flight ahead, Lindsay covered her slim legs in form-fitting leggings and over-the-knee boots.

She remained relatively makeup-free for her Transatlantic flight. 

Lindsay's crimson cap might be a relic from her relationship with Russian real estate developer Egor Tarabasov, 24.

The pair began dating in 2015 and were engaged to be married but the relationship fizzled out in 2016  amid rumors of the young mogul's infidelity. 

LiLo, as she's affectionately known, is no stranger to making controversial sartorial statements.  

The star has been seen wearing a hijab - traditional headscarf worn by Muslim women - on several occasions.

Earlier this year, the star accused airport staff of 'racially profiling' her after she was asked to remove her head covering while travelling from Turkey to New York.

Since moving abroad, the Parent Trap actress has been studying the Koran and while she said the holy book provides her 'solace' she has remained mum about whether or not she's converted.

Lindsay recently opened up about  her favorite parts of ex-pat life while chatting at Daily Mail's Holiday Wrap party in NYC earlier this month.

'I love living in New York, but I do love the serenity and peace that I find living in the Middle East because there are no cameras in Dubai and I can actually focus on what I want to do in life,' she explained. 

She revealed that living in Dubai lets her control when she wants to be in the spotlight.

'I don't always have to be scrutinized every second. I can have a private life and have a public life, but when I choose to. And I think that's really important,' the star said.
