The star appeared to keep a low profile with oversized sunglasses, a  Goonies-themed beanie hat and an all black ensemble.

But can you guess who it is?

It’s pop icon and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun hitmaker Cyndi Lauper.

The songstress kept it casual with a blue denim jacket, a black shirt and matching trousers.

She showed off her ageless looks with her flawless skin on display and a pop of red lipstick.

The True Colors singer is currently wrapping up her Australian tour after performing sold out shows in Brisbane, Newcastle and Sydney.

Cyndi will now be heading to Adelaide today and will perform her final date in Perth on Saturday.

The singer appears to have discovered the fountain of youth after she shared a video on her social media last year.

The multi-talented philanthropist has done it all over her 40-year career, from topping the charts to taking Broadway by storm and winning prestigious awards.

In 2013, Kinky Boots – the musical based on a Northampton shoe company that produced men’s fetish wear – was named best musical at the Tony Awards and Lauper won best original score.

She told the Telegraph in 2016: “You can have all the awards in the world, but I got Best Musical, and that means everything to me.

“All my life, all the record company told me was ‘You’re Cyndi Lauper, you can’t write songs like that!’

“They wanted me to write Girls Just Want to Have Fun over and over again. I didn’t want to.”

The New York legend’s success has always been against the odds, ever since her emergence on the music scene aged 30 as a punky poster girl.

She said: “I think my anger fuelled me.”

The spirited star never backed down from a fight, especially when stuffy record execs asked her demeaning question like “Is that what you’re wearing? Why can’t you dress more like Katrina & the Waves?”

Ultimately, Lauper had the last laugh with hits like Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Time After Time, She’s Bop and True Colors storming the charts.

She has had a settled personal life too having been married to David Thornton since 1991.

Thornton is an actor who has appeared in dozens of films and television shows, including the movies John Q and My Sister’s Keeper.

The couple have a 26-year-old son, singer Dex Lauper.
