A small group of fans had gathered to present the girls with personalised balloons.
The UK singers looked delighted to be presented with the thoughtful tokens, and smiled broadly as they posed for photos holding them.

Colourful welcome: Little Mix girls were given personalised balloons when they landed in New York

Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirwall looked stylish and fresh faced when they made their way through JFK airport.
Later on their official Twitter account, they thanked their fans for coming to meet them.

'NYC babyyyyy :) so nice to see some of our American mixers aswell! We love you guys thanks for the lovely greeting! :) x leigh,' they posted.

Pretty in pink: Perrie Edwards grinned like a Cheshire Cat as she met some of her American admirers

Say cheese! Perrie Edwards delighted one fan by having a picture taken with her at JFK airport in New York

Miss popular: Jade Thirlwall was escorted by a burly bouncer as she walked through the airport

Jesy looked very chirpy, which is a surprise considering she has just broken up with her boyfriend.
The 21-year old has recently split from Diversity star Jordan Banjo, who she had been dating for ten months.
But, you can't keep a good girl down, and Jesy recently told Heat magazine that she fancies Plan B and Travie McCoy.

All together: The girls were happy to pose for photographs with fans who had waited for them to land

Spot the star: Perrie was wearing a lot of make-up, which was only further emphasised by her fresh faced fans

Jesy looked stylish in an all black ensemble with a leather biker jacket thrown on top.
Like Leigh-Anne and Jade, she kept her sunglasses on and wore a thick layer of red lipstick.
Perrie Edwards also seemed to be wearing a lot of make-up, but her pink hair definitely detracted from that.

Glamorous entrance: Leigh-Anne Pinnock was happy to chat to fans, but kept her sunglasses on

The girls recently tweeted about how excited they were to be on the cover of an American pop magazine. 
They wrote: 'US Fans! Looks who made the latest cover of @BOPandTigerBeat! Cannot wait to see all of you next week! Perrie' [sic]. 
Perhaps it was in anticipation of their new found Stateside fame that the girls brought a mountain of bags along with them for their stint in the US.

Forgotten anything? The girls had mountains of luggage which they pushed themselves through the terminal
