So you think you can shop? Paula Abdul is a monochrome maven as she hits Sydney's premiere shopping district


By Penelope Kilby


Eighties pop icon Paula Abdul spent Sydney's first sunny day in a fortnight immersing herself in Australia's fashion culture.

A judge on So You Think You Can Dance Australia, Abdul was seen at Sydney's most coveted shopping spot, The Intersection at Paddington.

The 51-year-old shopped till she dropped, making purchases at Mecca Cosmetica and Alice McCall

Keeping it strictly monochrome, Paula showed off her thin pins in black skinny leg jeans and sky high platform boots.

The Straight Up singer must have known Saturday is game day in Australia.

Her vertically striped blouse was reminiscent of an Australian Rules Football referee. Or perhaps she is a fan of Collingwood AFL team, which takes on the Sydney Swans.

The pint-sized celebrity sipped on San Pellagrino sparkling water as she smiled and waved at fans.

Paula has been a busy girl since landing in Oz late last year.

Earlier this month she took to the Neighbours set to film a cameo in the long-running Australian soap.

The former American Idol judge sits alongside Shannon Holtzapffel, Jason Gilkison, and Aaron Cash on the fourth season of the realty dance competition which began last month.

The show originally ran for three seasons from 2008 to 2010, and has made a return this year with Paula at the helm.

There is no way that blouse is reminiscent of an AFL referee. Fair dinkum, DM.
