Most celebrities attempt to stay under the radar when they travel, opting to wear neutrals.
But Lily Collins did just the opposite on Saturday.
Donning a multicoloured House of Holland jacket, the 24-year-old English/American actress made a bold statement as she prepared for take-off from Los Angeles International Airport.
The long-sleeved, collared coat featured vibrant shades of pink, blue, purple, and yellow.
And it was embellished with a water-colour type print that gave the illusion of a textured fabric.
Playing down the rest of her ensemble, the brunette beauty teamed her loud piece with a casual white T-shirt and cropped distressed denim trousers.
On her feet, she sported a pair of strappy white sandals with a miniscule wedge heel, sticking to comfortable footwear.
Though she kept her large sunglasses on as she strolled through the departures lounge, Lily appeared refreshed, sporting a hint of pink blush and touch of lip gloss to warm up her fair complexion.
The Mirror Mirror star appeared to have checked her luggage, only carrying a chic black shoulder bag around with her.
Lily - the daughter of Phil Collins - was recently spotted at Comic-Con International in San Diego to promote her upcoming urban fantasy film The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones.
The actress has the lead role, Clary Fray, in the film adaptation of the first installment of the bestselling The Mortal Instruments series.
The movie about demon-slaying Shadowhunters is due out August 21 and it's follow-up City of Ashes will be released in 2014.
Lily is also currently filming Love, Rosie, a romantic comedy that's set to release in 2014.
In the movie, she plays Rosie who is separated from her friend Alex after he moves to the USA from Ireland and they work to keep their relationship alive.

Dino Dunsford is presenting his second Gaither-style gospel concert on Sunday, Nov. 4, 7:30 p.m., at Winsloe United Church.
For this show, he is adding lead and harmony vocalists by Rita Watts and, for the first time, Jolee Patkai.
Watts grew up singing amongst the waves at Victoria by-the-Sea, her childhood home, which she loved enough to name her first, original award-winning song. Since then she has written many and enjoyed sharing them at concerts benefits. She has provided back-up vocals on CDs for Betty Lou Jordan, Brenda Sherry, Peter Burke, Dunsford and Peter MacDougall.
One of her greatest honours was being one of four Islanders invited to perform at a Summerside Lobster Festival Concert emceed by one of her favourite singer/song-writers – Valdy.
Watts has been a regular with Dino and the Harmonies for years and is well known as a songwriter with a wonderful lead/harmony voice.
Patkai, a member of Treble with Girls, also stars as Loretta Lynn with the Lady Singers of our Century. This will be her second all- gospel show. Patkai has written numerous songs, which are included on her two recordings. This past summer shewas invited to sing with Carroll Baker at the Harbourfront Theatre, Summerside.
These musicians will be backed up by Judy Lowe, keyboards, Heartz Godkin, bass, and Brian Knox, drums.
Dunsford is looking forward to the concert.
“The gospel show will have a Gaither group feel, and singing along is encouraged,” he says.
Dunsford, who has played many styles of music for decades, won a Music P.E.I. award for his gospel CD in 2004 and male vocalist award for P.E.I. in the 1980s.
There will be a light lunch. Tickets are available at the door, which opens at 6:30 p.m.
For the second time in a week, a flash mob robbed a convenience store in our area. Could it be a new trend in the Washington region?
In the latest incident, 10 girls stormed the Shop Express convenience store along Benning Road in northeast Washington at about 3:15 a.m. Thursday.
They loaded up on food, drinks and snacks at different parts of the store.
Some of the women were carrying bags to hold some of the items. Then they all rushed out of the store at the same time without paying.
"We're not going to tolerate it," Assistant Chief Peter Newham said. "We're going to move to arrest the folks that were involved."
Employees said that each of the women stole about $60 worth of merchandise.
"Stealing is a very normal thing at convenience stores," one employee said. "It happens every day -- morning, evening, night. But such kind of thing I have never seen before."
Investigators are trying to identify the shoplifters from surveillance video.
"If you watch the video, you can see that not every one of the young ladies that was involved took something, but there were certainly some who did," Newham said.
Store employees said this was the third such incident at the store in the past couple of weeks, and that if the trend continues, the 24-hour store will have to close at night.
In a strongly-worded statement, D.C. mayor Vincent Gray said the city would pursue criminal charges to stop this type of crime.
This store is not alone in its flash mob troubles. Last Saturday, a flash mob took over a 7-Eleven in Germantown.
Investigators in Montgomery County said they know who some of the suspects are, but they are hoping people will recognize the others and call police.
Police said that teens shouldn't feel safer committing these crimes in groups, because finding one kid in a group won't be hard, and after police get one suspect, they can take down the rest, News4's Tracee Wilkins reported.
"We have a lot of cooperation from the folks that live in the 6th District," Newham said. "It's not uncommon to have people who are willing to assist us, especially in a crime of this nature. So we're confident ... that we'll be able to get the kids that were responsible."
The head of Switzerland’s armed forces, André Blattmann, is set to step down from his post at the end of March 2017, following eight years at the helm.
Defence Minister Guy Parmelin, who took up his cabinet post in January, said it was a mutual decision between him and Blattmann to hand over the reins to a successor.
“It is the right time to make room for new people now that parliament has approved a reform of the armed forces,” Blattmann said.
Both men rejected media speculation that Parmelin put pressure on the 60-year-old army chief to take an early retirement.
Parmelin also denied that Wednesday’s announcement was linked to his decision earlier this week to suspend the purchase of a new air defence system.
He added that a working group will draw up a short list of candidates. The new head of the armed forces is to take up his post at the end of 2017.
Neutral Switzerland operates mainly on land and in the air. Under the country's militia system, professional soldiers constitute about 5% of the military and the rest are conscripts or volunteers aged 19 to 34.

"The Jungle Book" pulverized a trio of box office lightweights, racking up $42.4 million to lead ticket sales for the third consecutive weekend. Disney's live-action adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli stories has made $252.1 million since opening last month. It should have no trouble becoming the fourth film this year to cross $300 million domestically, joining the likes of "Deadpool," "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and "Zootopia."
It's heady company. Just don't look for this weekend's new releases to number among those ranks. "Keanu," an action-comedy sendup from Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key, nabbed third place with $9.3 million across 2,658 screens. The weak result is alleviated somewhat by the fact that the Warner Bros./New Line release cost a meager $15 million to produce. The film finds the stars of Comedy Central's "Key & Peele" trying to rescue a kidnapped kitten. Reviews were strong, which could help the picture in the coming weeks when the competition gets fiercer.
Open Road's "Mother's Day," an ensemble romantic comedy with Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis, collapsed at the multiplexes, eking out $8.3 million across 3,035 locations to finish in fourth. That could spell the end for director Garry Marshall's lucrative "throw a bunch of stars at a holiday" franchise — a collection of films that also encompassed "Valentine's Day" and "New Year's Eve." Don't hold your breath for "Arbor Day."
And Focus Features' "Ratchet and Clank" struggled to leave an impression. The adaptation of the video game series about a fugitive robot and a cat-like alien only managed to pull in $4.8 million from 2,891 locations, marking it as D.O.A.
Analysts and box office watchers weren't expecting a lot from this crop, but the results were even worse than expected. Going into the weekend, tracking services had both "Mother's Day" and "Keanu" debuting to north of $10 million.
"If April is the cruelest month then the last weekend of April is particularly cruel," said Jeff Bock, an analyst with Exhibitor Relations. "All three of these films faltered."
Then there were the holdovers. In its second weekend, Universal's "The Huntsman: Winter's War" dropped 52% to $9.4 million for a second place finish. With $33.9 million in the bank, this $115 million production is headed to write-down territory. "Barbershop: The Next Cut" rounded out the top five, earning $6.1 million and bringing the Warner Bros. and MGM comedy sequel's domestic total to $44.7 million.
Of course, the whole weekend is really just a throat clearing for "Captain America: Civil War," which barrels into theaters on May 6. The superhero sequel could pull in as much as $200 million to score one of the biggest openings in history. It already made more than $200 million overseas this weekend after debuting in a select number of foreign territories.
"We're in the eye of the storm," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst with ComScore. "We're about to be swept up in the excitement and huge box office of 'Captain America.'"
The Jungle Book is not showing in any theaters in the area.

Learning Soft Skills In Childhood Can Prevent Harder Problems Later : Shots - Health News There's more to learn at school than reading and math. Teaching kids to control their emotions, solve problems and work well with others can help them succeed as teens and adults.
Academic learning is usually in the spotlight at school, but teaching elementary-age students "soft" skills like self-control and social skills might help in keeping at-risk kids out of criminal trouble in the future, a study finds.
Duke University researchers looked at a program called Fast Track, which was started in the early 1990s for children who were identified by their teachers and parents to be at high risk for developing aggressive behavioral problems.
The students were randomized into two groups; half took part in the intervention, which included a teacher-led curriculum, parent training groups, academic tutoring and lessons in self-control and social skills. The program, which lasted from first grade through 10th grade, reduced delinquency, arrests and use of health and mental health services as the students aged through adolescence and young adulthood, as researchers explained in a separate study published earlier this year.
In the latest study, researchers looked at the "why" behind those earlier findings. In looking at the data from nearly 900 students, researchers found that about a third of the impact on future crime outcomes was due to the social and self-regulation skills the students learned from ages 6 to 11.
The academic skills that were taught as part of Fast Track turned out to have less of an impact on crime and delinquency rates than soft skills, which are associated with emotional intelligence. Soft skills might include teaching kids to work cooperatively in a group or teaching them how to think about the long-term consequences when they make a decision, whereas teaching physics is an example of a hard skill.
"The conclusion that we would make is that these [soft] skills should be emphasized even more in our education system and in our system of socializing children," says Kenneth Dodge, a professor of public policy and of psychology and neuroscience at Duke who was a principal investigator in this study as well as in the original Fast Track project. Parents should do all they can to promote these skills with their children, Dodge says, as should education policymakers.
"To the extent we can improve those skills, we can improve outcomes in delinquency and juvenile crime," says Dodge, who is also director of Duke's Center for Child and Family Policy. The study was published Wednesday in the journal Child Development.
To Neil Bernstein, a psychologist in Washington, D.C., who specializes in child and adolescent behavior disorders, the researchers' findings seem consistent with what he's seen on the ground in working with children for more than 30 years. And while he says he agrees with the importance of teaching self-control and social skills, he would add empathy to the list, too.
"Empathy is what makes us aware of the feelings of others and when you're empathic, you're much less likely to hurt someone else's feelings," says Bernstein, who serves on the advisory board for the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids and is the author of multiple books, including How to Keep Your Teenager Out of Trouble and What to Do If You Can't.
Being in tune with how someone else feels might also make adolescents steer clear of bullying and other "behaviors of concern," Bernstein says.
Empathy was not one of the skills that were directly measured in this study, according to Lucy Sorensen, a Ph.D. student at Duke and lead author of the study. But there were several measures of "prosocial behavior," Sorensen says, defined as voluntary behavior intended to benefit others.
