With just a few days to go until Christmas, everyone in London is frantically finishing off their shopping.
So it's no surprise that Alexandra Burke, former girlfriend of Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe, has left the British city to pick up her presents across the pond in Los Angeles.
The X Factor winner ensured that all eyes were on her as she squeezed her curvy figure into a skin-tight jersey dress for her shopping trip to The Grove.
Alexandra looked stylish when she jetted out of Heathrow a few days previously, and clearly didn't want to let her fashion crown slip so made sure that she dressed up as she hit the shops.
Clearly putting a lot of thought into the carefully planned outlook, the singer decided to make an impact in the figure-hugging dress, paired with an on-trend, felt hat.
Looking a little too big for her head, the brim covered her eyes, meaning that the star had to tilt her head back to see.
Earlier in the day she had been at the X Factor USA studios to meet some of the contestants, tweeting a picture of herself with band Fifth Harmony, and sporting a sticker from the show on her dress.
