Nicole Richie is about to arrive in Australia, and with her comes this rumor from the Oz fashion set:
If a designer – or a sponsor – can pay Nicole enough money, she’ll come to their show.
We’ve witnessed a celebrity get money for a Fashion Week appearance before.
The first time it happened, we were shocked. By the sixth time – when a major male pop star was courted by a sportswear label – our only surprise was how little the check would be.
According to our sources, who once tried (and failed) to hire Nicole to host their cosmetics party, the starlet costs about $30,000 per appearance.
Regardless, we have total faith that if Nicole does attend Aussie Fashion Week, it’s because she believes in the emerging design talent down there. The first time we met her, she was wearing a Roland Mouret dress (and was gorgeous in it).
Nicole would look just as incredible in something by Lisa Ho or Josh Goot; hopefully she’ll swing by their showrooms in Sydney to play dress-up.
For love, of course, and not for money.

$30,000 to appear at a closed, industry only event in Australia? If she does get paid to appear, it won’t be anywhere near that sort of sum.
No, the $30 k was for a cosmetics party here… not sure what her people charge for a Fashion Week appearance.
What does she do again??? I can’t stand her! Regardless…people should not get paid to attend a fashion show. If they are real fashionistas, they would go for the love of the art…and the gift bag!
weirdly (well, coincidentally), DJ AM charges $30,000 to dj a private party. it’s amazing he gets any business in NY…
oh they’re all paid. i remember richie’s price being something like $30k to show up at a fashion event…dj am was dj’ing so we didn’t pay her, hoping she’d show up for anyway. they were still together at the time so it might’ve happened….
