She is no stranger to causing controversy with her slender figure.
So it comes as something as a surprise that LeAnn Rimes would choose to wear a pair of white 'optical illusion' jeans, designed to make her legs look even slimmer.
The 29-year-old singer donned the pants, which featured a thick black stripe down each side, as she arrived back into Los Angeles with her husband Eddie Cibrian.
She has become a household name almost overnight, her blonde locks, never-ending legs and womanly curves propelling her to the cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Edition.

It's the staple colour of any wardrobe and it appeared that tonight on the red carpet stars stuck to the black is best mantra.
Angelina Jolie, Stacy Keibler, and Amber Heard Ashlee Simpson led the stars in the dark and dramatic style stepping out in sleek shiny gowns, lashing of lace and cut out creations at the Screen Actors Guild Awards this evening.

A shocking video captures the moment a bus plunged off a cliff on the 'world's most dangerous road'.
The jaw-dropping footage shows the driver creeping past the cliff's edge on a treacherous stretch of the Bolivian pass while a crowd tries to help guide his way.
One man who steps forward and gestures to the driver to help him steer further away from the edge does so in vain as it eventually tips forward with the weight of it carrying it over the side.
It is likely they will serve their sentences in segregated wings alongside other 'vulnerable' prisoners such as paedophiles who are also thought to be at risk of attack.
A legal expert told Mail Online: 'There is a general duty of care to ensure their safety; how it is fulfilled is a matter for the prison governor.
'But Rule 45 is likely to come into play, under which they could be put in solitary confinement for their own protection.'
Rule 45 (formerly Rule 43), is the rule that allows the isolation of vulnerable prisoners in the interests of their own personal safety.

The trio of men long suspected of joining Dobson and Norris in the ‘racist and thuggish’ South London attack in April 1993 are brothers Neil and Jamie Acourt and Luke Knight.
Their names were handed to police within days of Stephen’s murder and all five were named by the Daily Mail as killers in 1997 and challenged to sue if the newspaper was wrong. They never did.
The new phase of the marathon Lawrence investigation is expected to focus on the Acourt brothers and Knight, who were in hiding last night after apparently fleeing their homes. It is also likely to include a renewed attempt to identify a possible sixth member of the gang.

She is one of the first sufferers to be implanted with electrodes in her brain that fire tiny electric pulses into the region believed to cause the muscle tics.
Sky News exclusively filmed the extraordinary operation, and then - six weeks later - the moment the electrodes were switched on.
Over a period of about 40 minutes the tics almost completely disappeared.
She said: "It is absolutely amazing. I do not feel I am the same person. I have had three years of getting worse. Now I have got my life back."

Butterflies and moths have been baffled by this year's extreme weather, with many species appearing at unusual times, Butterfly Conservation said today.
But while the hot, dry spring and one of the warmest autumns on record saw butterflies on the wing from early March all the way through to December, the cold damp summer saw many species struggle.
The charity's Big Butterfly Count this year revealed numbers of common species were down 11% in the face of a miserable summer.
The poor results followed the unusually hot spring, in which species such as the pearl bordered fritillary and the grizzled skipper emerged weeks ahead of normal.
The black hairstreak, which normally appears in June, was seen in May and the Lulworth skipper, a Dorset species, was on the wing seven weeks early.
The warm weather returned in autumn, prompting the arrival of a number of migrant moths from as far as southern Europe.
Humming-bird hawk-moths had their best year on record in the UK, with Butterfly Conservation receiving 9,000 reports of sightings, outstripping the previous record of 6,500.
The UK also saw the highest number of rare flame brocade moths in 130 years, with a colony discovered in Sussex, while exotic species such as the crimson speckled moth and vestal moth were also seen this autumn.
