The former Coronation Street actress, 37, kept it simple yet stylish in a black halterneck top and black shades.
Flaunting a glimpse of her toned mid driff, the star paired the vest top with a pair of white trousers with a mini skirt layer on top.
Completing her summery look with a black pair of flip flops, the star posed for snaps at an Estee Lauder event.
She captioned the post: ‘A work trip never looked so good…’.
Making her followers jealous she also shared snaps of the sunny weather, delicious food and beautiful sunsets.
The trip comes amid rumours Michelle is planning her LA career and is preparing to hit Hollywood in the film adaptation of Reese Witherspoon and Harlan Coben’s new novel, and it seems preparations could be underway.
Harlan and Reese have teamed up to write the new crime thriller Gone Before Goodbye.
As Michelle has worked with Harlan before on his Fool Me Once adaption Reese is reportedly keen to get her back on board.
The novel sees an indomitable woman, trapped in a conspiracy she helped create but can’t understand.
She searches for the truth that could expose a conspiracy woven throughout the exclusive world of the global Über Elite–but at an unfathomable cost to Maggie herself.
The Daily Mail have contacted Michelle and Reese’s representatives for comment.
Last week Michelle gave followers a glimpse into her work trip as she headed out to lunch after touching down in the sunshine state.
She looked effortlessly stylish in a cropped broderie anglaise shirt with a dramatic collar.
Michelle teamed the statement piece with a pair of light wash denim jeans and accessorised with oval-shaped sunglasses.
The actress starred as Maya Stern in Fool Me Once, alongside Joanna Lumley in the series adaptation of Harlan’s novel, which quickly shot to the top of Netflix charts worldwide.
Harlan has previously gushed over the star’s talent and has previously said he would be keen to work with Michelle again.
Her character’s demise in Fool Me Once left Harlan ‘kicking himself’ and seeking a plot, no matter how far-fetched, that could see her reprise her role in the second instalment.
A source close to Michelle previously told the Daily Mail: ‘Michelle and Harlan really bonded during the Fool Me Once filming and he thinks she’s amazing.
‘He believes Michelle is a big part of the show’s stratospheric success.
‘They were having a real heart to heart at the National Television Awards recently and Harlan was saying that he was absolutely gutted that he killed off her character and that he’d do anything to bring her back from the dead so that they can have a much-longed for sequel.’
