Looks like the lead singer of Aerosmith has had some amazing work done, because when Steven Tyler recently touched down for a red carpet appearance in Australia, he had the face of a 30-year-old woman.

What's that you say?

That's actually Nicole Richie underneath the pimp hat, flared leather pants and Muppet-like fringe purse? Let's take a closer look...

As for why the Simple Life alumna visited a David Jones store in Sydney dressed like this, we found out for you—these are her clothes.

At least, the pants are! They're from Richie's own Winter Kate line and Joel Madden's missus paired the trousers with a Vanessa Bruno cardi.

The occasion? The Aussie launch of her House of Harlow 1960 collection, which features not 1970s rock castoffs but, from what we understand, sunglasses and handbags.

Confused? So is Steven Tyler. He's still wondering where his flared leather pants went.
