Hilary Duff surprised the crowd last night during her second sold-out Melbourne show and completed a shoey.
The 39-year-old is currently on the Australian leg of the Lucky Me tour and performed at Rod Laver Arena.
In Australia, a “shoey” is slang for pouring beer into a shoe that you’re wearing and drinking it.

But the former Disney star drank a Victoria Bitter beer from a glass slipper instead, a nod to her 2004 movie A Cinderella Story.
“This is so cute, I would drink a cocktail out of this,” Hilary said while holding the shoe. “This is a classy shoey.”
The ‘Come Clean’ singer poured the beer into the glass ornament and slugged it back while declaring “that is my kind of shoey”.

However, fans had mixed reactions about the act given that it was poured from a fake shoe.
Ange, who’s been a fan since Lizzie McGuire first aired, was at the show and told Yahoo Lifestyle the shoey was “flawless”.
“The Cinderella slipper was the perfect touch,” the 35-year-old said.
“To the haters saying it’s not a real shoey, grow up! Let’s not gatekeep a shoey.”
“Cinderella shoey! Done with style,” another wrote on Instagram.
“The only acceptable way to,” a third added.
Others said the shoey “didn’t count” given the shoe wasn’t real and she didn’t wear it first.

This isn’t the first Aussie tradition she’s tried so far.
During her Brisbane show, Hilary did a Tim Tam Slam, which is where you drink tea or hot chocolate through a Tim Tim biscuit.
And on Monday in Melbourne, she tried Vegemite toast for the first time.
Hilary Duff returns to Australia for the Lucky Me tour
Hilary has already completed several shows for the Aussie leg of her Lucky Me tour in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. Her final show is on October 29 in Perth.
Last night’s show also marked 22 years to the day when Hilary performed in Australia for the very first time at the same venue.
Tickets for the tour sold out in minutes as tens of thousands of Aussies clambered over each other to get a dose of nostalgia.

While many will know Hilary from her Disney days and her array of 2000s movies, she also had a popular music career.
She released four albums that decade, a comeback in 2015, and a second comeback 11 years later, Luck… or Something, which has prompted her global tour.
It’s the first time in 18 years that Hilary has performed here in Australia, so it’s no surprise that the tour has been so popular.
