"Goooood eveening Austraaaaaalia!"
Yes, just when you thought Leona Lewis couldn't get more adorable... Australia takes her to its heart, too. Aww!
Britain's Finest Export is Down Under - and here she was leaving the Australian Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, where she's playing what we call in the biz of show "an intimate gig" tonight.
And as you can see, Leona looked as lovely and down-to-earth as always in a blue flowery top, jeans, pink sandals and not one but two (count 'em!) cosy-looking grey cardigans.
Two cardigans? Is this some sort of strange, Mariah Carey, diva-like demand? I do hope not.

Leona Lewis, didn't your mother ever tell you to keep your legs together?!
Aww, bless. I love the fact that Leona isn't some preening, posing A-lister... yet. And hopefully not ever.
She looked, well, simply delightful and sparkly at last night's MTV Awards in Sydney - in this cute, belted white dress teamed with silver jewellery and silver shoes.
And she explained that part of her fashion choice was inspired by her vegan diet. "I get really cheap shoes because it's not leather," she revealed to reporters. Ah, that's our girl!

Well, who hasn't ignored Mariah Carey and gone to Hawaii? I know I have.
Here were the lovely Leona Lewis and her, let's face, rather dishy young man Lou in Hawaii this week - looking casual and happy in their holiday wear and no doubt basking not just in the sun, but in the fact that Leona's album was number one in the American charts.
That said: Leona's album was just knocked off that number spot by Mariah Carey's this week - and in an interview with The Observer, Mariah addressed the little matter of the British girl they're hailing as "the new Mariah".
And she didn't address it very nicely.
"Honestly there has been so many 'this is the new her' ... and I'm like, 'OK, show me the new her. Can she come and work for me and be my double?'" Mariah sniped. "And I'm not talking about this particular girl [Leona], because I only heard her once and I didn't really see a true similarity, particularly in the style of music. It is what it is and they have compared me to so many people who are not really singers and they're certainly not writers."
Is she saying that Leona's not really a singer? Possibly. And can we expect Leona to respond in a similar fashion? Well, of course not. She's far too sweet for that. Just look at her. Bless!

Here was Leona Lewis leaving Los Angeles the other day - looking as cool and as casual as only someone who's about to make pop history can.
Corks are no doubt popping throughout north London as I write, after Leona's album went to number one in the American Billboard charts today. Her single Bleeding Love has already been a record-breaking chart-topper, of course - but who knew that the album it's taken from Sodding Romance Spirit would follow, and in doing so make Leona the first British artist ever to have an album go straight in at number one?
Not I.
Although J Records boss Clive Davis probably did. "The TV aspect is irrelevant," he tells the LA Times about his prodigy's success. "I was impressed with [Leona] in the same way Whitney Houston or Alicia Keys auditioned for me."

Someone get her out! Quick! Look - the poor girl's clearly in agony!
*Snigger*
Sorry. Far be it from me to criticise the beautiful, talented and terribly nice Leona Lewis. Especially when she was clearly giving her all during this performance at the San Remo Festival in Italy. (Yes, that's why she was at the airport).
And this really is a stunning dress, in a Katherine Jenkins sort of way.
Perhaps Leona should think about making a move into opera?

Now that Leona Lewis has Britain's fastest selling debut album ever, I have a feeling designers are lining up to have her wear their brands and carry their handbags when she's out on the town. But if they don't offer leather alternatives like Stella McCartney, they may be out of luck.
As a vegetarian, Leona Lewis has made the choice not to wear leather. "I don't have clothes, shoes or bags made from leather or suede, or any animal products," the singer says. So I suppose her possible fashion faux pas in a leather bomber, was more of a 'faux'.
Leona may also be looking to act as a face for an animal-friendly high street store: "I would love to promote a line of non-leather bags and shoes that are affordable." With the plethora of PVC out there, I'm sure she could find something.
But for now, I'd love to direct Leona, and the rest of you lot, to check out our List of fabulous faux fur jackets. Fuzzy winter warmers for all.
