That 70s showgirl: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley cuts a retro figure as she steps out in LA

Daily Mail (UK) |  11 April 2014

Most young women try to repliocate the latest fashion trend - but not Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

The British model's latest look harked back to the 1970s when she stepped out in Los Angeles, California, on Thursday.

The blonde beauty cut a nostalgic figure as she navigated the streets of downtown Silverlake , appearing so retro it was modern.

With her glossy hair parted in the centre, she sported a simple combination of flared jeans with a black and white, horizontally-striped top.

Adding extra 70s appeal, she matched the look with a pair of suede, peep-toe, platform wedges and some over-sized, designer sunglasses.

Seen visiting a local hair salon for some much-deserved pampering time, she also carried a dark green Givenchy tote bag.

Looking casual and content, she appeared effortlessly chic in her minimalist attire on the east coast. 

Thankfully, the glamorous world of LA is a million miles away from her recent trip to the slums of Cambodia for a work trip with children's charity UNICEF.

The 26-year-old traveled to Phnom Penh to see first-hand the daily plight of children struggling to survive.

The actress documented the trip in a series of images she shared on Instagram, including photos with young children struggling against hunger, disease and poverty in the overcrowded slum villages.

'I’ve been so inspired by the children I’ve met on my first day in Cambodia, despite the conditions they live in,' the model wrote on Instagram.

 

In one photo, the blonde beauty appeared makeup free with her hair tied back in a small bun as she blew kisses to the camera with a group of four young girls. 'Such an incredible first day in Cambodia with @unicef_uk meeting gorgeous girls like these. #socceraid #unicef,' she posted to more than 1.4 million followers.
