Looking stunning in a black lacy cocktail dress from Australian label Master/Slave, former Australian Idol contestant Paulini is the first to admit she loves fashion.
Paulini flew into Canberra from Sydney yesterday to sing at a private function for the opening of Direct Factory Outlet. Speaking last night, she said the 30-minute set would be a mix of songs from greats such as Aretha Franklin and Patti LaBelle, ”but more remixed as a disco funk kind of thing, so I want everybody to get up there and dance”.
Even if people didn’t dance, they were certainly shopping. More than 3000 shoppers who had registered online were the first to pass through the doors.
Paulini said she was a fan of DFO in Sydney.
But she said bargain-hunting was something she was still learning.
The Fijian-born songstress is often touted as a style icon, although she finds the label amusing.
”It’s so funny. When people say that, I’m, like, ‘Nooo.’ I like everything and there’s not a particular style that I like.
”If I feel like I’m in the mood to dress a bit edgy tomorrow, then I will, or if I want to dress a bit classier today I will. I don’t really have a style, I just kind of go with what I feel.
”I’m very lucky: once I put it all together, it does go and everything gels. But I do love different styles. I just love fashion.”
