Stylin' Up is the debut album by Australian singer Christine Anu, released on 1 May 1995 by Mushroom Records.[1] A deluxe edition was later released with six live tracks. The album was certified platinum in 2000.[2][3]

The album fuses a blend of pure, up-beat pop with "Party" as well as the more traditional "Monkey and the Turtle". Upon release she told triple j’s Angela Catterns "Hopefully my album sales are going to go up and Indigenous artists are going to get more radio play, more recognition, that sort of stuff.”[4]

At the ARIA Music Awards of 1995, the album was nominated for four awards, winning 'Best Indigenous Release'[5]

In 2015, Anu celebrated the album's 20th anniversary by releasing a live recording titled ReStylin' Up 20 Years.
