Lindsay Lohan arrives in Sydney for Freakier Friday premiere
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. It's Sydney turn to get caught up in the hysteria of the Freaky Friday revival. Continuing the global press tour for the 2003 film's much-awaited sequel, Freakier Friday, Lindsay Lohan arrived at Sydney Airport ahead of Tuesday night's Australian premiere at Event Cinemas in Bondi Junction – and she was decked in top-to-toe designer gear. The Hollywood star was spotted touching down on Monday night with her entourage, including her husband, financier Bader Shammas, and their two-year-old son Luai. Lindsay Lohan arrived in Australia ahead of the Freakier Friday premiere at Event Cinemas in Sydney's Bondi Junction on Tuesday night. Picture: The actress was dripping in designer clothes, decked top to toe in Miu Miu and Hermès on her arrival on Monday. Picture: Lohan, 39, appeared in good spirits, smiling as she made her way through the terminal while wearing a Miu Miu denim jacket over her Miu Miu dress, believed to retail for $3,350 and $2,280, respectively. She topped it off with not one but two designer bags: one Miu Miu purse worth an estimated $3,540 and a Hermès Birkin Bag, which costs at least $20,000. Lohan was shielded fro the rain as she made her way to a waiting car at Sydney Airport. Picture: Not even the gloomy weather could dampen Lohan's mood as airport staff tried to shield her from the rain with umbrellas as she exited the terminal in her Miu Miu flats, said to cost $1,570. The rain did little to dampen Lohan's mood, with the actress appearing in good spirits as she smiled at fans. Picture: Lohan's husband Bader Shammas (left) was also spotted. Their son Luai also accompanied the pair on the trip, but was not seen by cameras. Picture: Lohan's co-star in the original film and now the reboot, Jamie Lee Curtis, was also spotted arriving in Sydney earlier on Monday. The beloved star, 66, walked through the terminal while wearing a black face mask, but her designer bag and signature poise was a dead giveaway of her Hollywood status. Jamie Lee Curtis was spotted arriving at Sydney International ahead of the Freakier Friday Australian premiere on Monday. Picture: Like Lohan, Curtis was also toting not one but two Goyard designer bags, estimated to retail for around $10,000. Picture: The sequel comes 22 years after the original film, in which single mother Tess Coleman (Curtis) and her teenage daughter Anna (Lohan) constantly bickered until a fortune cookie mishap caused them to switch lives and see things from the other's perspective. Fans lapped up the film, which earned Disney a cool $US160.8 million worldwide, quintupling its $US30 million budget. And over the years viewers have been asking for more. Curtis recently revealed why there was such a long wait between films in a recent interview with BBC program The One Show, revealing an Aussie link to the sequel. Freakier Friday hits cinemas on Thursday, August 7. The sequel features a multi-generational twist and also stars Julia Butters (left) and Sophia Hammons (right). 'The truth is that Lindsay had to be old enough to have a 15-year-old daughter, [but] people would ask me about the movie over and over again,' she shared. 'And finally someone in Australia said, 'Well, she is' and I was like, 'What do you mean?' because I know her as this young girl, so I don't know how old she is.' 'Someone told me [Lindsay's age] and I was, like, 'Oh! Well, maybe we can make the movie. Let's go!'' In the new film, Anna now has a daughter and a soon-to-be stepdaughter. As they all try to wrap their heads around merging the two families, lightening strikes twice and they soon find themselves in a four-way switch.
