The brunette beauty appeared less than impressed as she battled against the wild wind in South Australia while she explored the city before her set at the Groovin The Moo festival this evening.

The English-born babe slung her black bag over her shoulder and made her way through the town with her two friends, who also seemed to be furious about the cooler temperatures Down Under.

Charli, who shot to fame after she collaborated with Iggy Azalea on Fancy, has been determined to make her mark on the fashion industry since day one of her career.

She recently admitted to Maxim Magazine that she's always been encouraged to dress 'weird', explaining: ‘I’d rather look fabulous, like I’m having a great time.'

She added: 'There’s nothing that says “boss” more than a belly chain and snakeskin trousers. My dad always used to encourage me to dress weird.’

And talking about her drive for success, she said: ‘I have a business mind, I have a real drive—I want to have an empire.

‘I want to have more of a legacy, and I think just because I wear what I wear, and am a pop star, doesn’t mean I can’t have that.’

She told the Sunday Style magazine last week: 'Being a b**** is the best'. 

Although her care-free attitude is winning the Boom Clap singer a lot of fans, the starlet is cautious of becoming a role model, especially to her younger admirers.

'Even though I probably am [a role model], because certain people look up to me, that’s never been an aim of mine,' she added.
