Nelly and Mischa warm the fashion scene in cool Oz

Sizzling appearances by Nelly Furtado and Mischa Barton at a fashion event Down Under more than made up for the cold snap sweeping Sydney on Wednesday. The North American beauties had been contracted to up the glamour quotient at the launch of department store David Jones' summer collection.

Always right on the money when it comes to her fashion choices, Canadian chanteuse Nelly wore a velvet moss green jacket over a sheer black jumper and silver chain necklace. Meanwhile The OC lovely had opted for an embroidered top teamed with skinny jeans and platform heels. Mischa and her Victoria-born colleague were following in the footsteps of another high-profile face - two years ago Linda Evangelista was called in to promote the upmarket store's 2004 range.

Nelly has been quite the globetrotter recently, clocking up the air miles on a whirlwind promotional tour for her latest musical offering Loose. In May she was pictured in London's trendy Soho area, where her appearance caused a wave of excitement among fans. Then in July the 27-year-old mother-of-one made a foray south of the Canadian border for a date with US talk-show host David Letterman.

Mischa hasn't exactly been sitting still either. Currently based in London, where she was born, the actress has been honing her acting skills at prestigious drama school RADA. And just last month she flew into Paris for the Dior fashion show, where she was snapped rubbing shoulders with designer John Galliano and Liv Tyler.
