Joining the mass exodus of celebrities leaving Los Angeles post-Oscars, Carrie Underwood was spotted heading for the security checkpoint at LAX International Airport yesterday (February 23) afternoon.

The “Jesus, Take the Wheel” songstress looked to be having a good time as she prepared to depart, smiling as she tried to manage her carry-on luggage.

The night before, Carrie was definitely one of the main attractions, fashion-wise, as she arrived at the 2009 Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Academy Award Viewing Party in a fabulous white one-shoulder dress with a prom-style updo.

Held at the Pacific Design Center in Hollywood, the Elton John shindig was well-attended by Carrie’s “American Idol” friends including Ryan Seacrest, Randy Jackson, and Simon Cowell.
