Hilary Duff has arrived in Australia ahead of her sold-out Down Under tour and was seen arriving at Brisbane Airport on Wednesday with her eight-year-old daughter, Banks.

The American singer and actress, 39, cut a chic figure, wearing a long-sleeved, fluffy beige sweater paired with designer ripped jeans as she walked hand-in-hand with her little girl.

Hilary accessorised her casual ensemble with a pair of sleek sunglasses and a delicate gold necklace, adding a touch of glamour to her airport look.

The Lizzie McGuire star wore her hair in loose waves that flowed freely around her shoulders as she made her way through the terminal.

The singer’s arrival in Brisbane comes as fans prepare to see the pop star take to the stage for her sold-out shows, marking an exciting return for the star who rose to fame as a Disney Channel favourite in the early 2000s.

In February, the noughties pop icon announced her first Down Under jaunt in almost two decades, which sent fans ferociously jostling for tickets.

The Come Clean hitmaker was last in the country back in 2008 on her Dignity world tour and redressed the balance with the announcement of a whistle-stop four-date run.

She will be kicking off her Australian tour at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on October 22.

She will then head to Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on October 24, and Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on October 26, before rounding out the run at the RAC Arena in Perth on October 29.

Hilary took to Instagram to announce the tour with a clip of herself rummaging through a closet, which ended with her selecting a cosy white faux-fur coat.

‘I truly feel so lucky to be able to be onstage again in front of all of you beautiful people. I can’t wait! See you on the Lucky Me tour.’

Hilary first rose to fame as a teen idol, playing the titular role in the iconic Disney series Lizzie McGuire and subsequent feature film.

She parlayed that small and big screen success into a formidable music career that has seen her sell 15 million albums worldwide.

In March last year, Billboard ranked Hilary at number 73 on its Top 100 Women Artists of the 21st Century list.
