Ashley Greene Soaks Up The LA Sun In Short Shorts

After spending weeks in chilly NYC to shoot her new role in ABC's period drama, Pan Am, Ashley Greene took the opportunity to show off her sexy legs in a pair of short shorts, while on a shopping trip in LA, on Thursday afternoon.

The Twilight star Tweeted: "LA is 80? In january? This is an amazing way to start the year!"

The 24-year-old has been named the new face of DKNY's Spring 2012 ad campaign, and after checking out the just-released vintage-style pics, it's not hard to see why!

Greene gushed to Teen Vogue of the honor: “I think it’s a huge compliment that they wanted me to be the face of DKNY. I’ve always been a fan of the brand, so I think it’s a really organic fit for me. The brand represents this really incredible style that is New York—and I love New York! So I was very flattered that they asked me to jump on-board."
