Nigella Lawson looked incredible as she attended the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival launch party in Australia on Wednesday night.
Posing for photos, the TV chef looked decades younger than her 62 years as she showed off her smooth complexion which was complemented by a polished make-up look.
The TV chef cut a spring figure in a chic plunging lilac dress which showcased her famous curves and cinched her in at the waist before flowing out into an A-line skirt.
After revealing back in December she now swaps heels for trainers, Nigella opted for comfort on her feet with a pair of silver sandals.
Styling her brunette locks in soft waves, the television personality appeared in high spirits as she joined MasterChef Australia hosts at the Queen Victoria Market for the bash.
Back in December, Nigella confessed she only wears 'elasticated trousers' after gaining weight when she was struck down with coronavirus.
The television personality gave an insight into how she really spends the festive season and admitted she isn't as glamorous as she used to be.
Nigella said she has put on weight during the pandemic due to eating "too much chocolate, pasta and potatoes" and tends to opt for an elasticated waist instead of tight clothing.
The Sun reported she said: "Sorry, I'm not looking enormously glamorous. Those days are over. I'm now never in high heels. I don't understand how I did them.
"Since lockdown I have only been wearing elasticated trousers and from now on in. It has to be done."
Nigella was speaking at an event in Bath about her book Cook, Eat, Repeat as she revealed all her secret tips for the big day going smoothly, as well as making it realistically achievable for all families.
The star said how she starts the day with for a simple cup of tea, admitting she doesn't feel human without one.
Nigella admitted champagne can be too gassy to begin the day but said she goes on to create her own favourite cocktail which consists of Moscato wine mixed with lime juice and topped up with ice.
She explained the wine goes further this way as well as the lime juice helping with the boxing day hangover.
Nigella's trip to Australia comes after she was mercilessly mocked over a very rare steak she had served up.
The TV cook took to Instagram to share a picture of a dish she was thrilled with - an Aberdeen Angus tomahawk with green sauce and sides of new potatoes and salad.
She thought she had prepared a lip-smacking meal, but it didn't whet everyone's appetite.
Some told her the steak was 'so rare it could be heard mooing'.
The cut of beef was very pink - and her followers were quick to tell Nigella exactly what they thought of it.
One teased: "A good vet could save it."
Another questioned the cooking queen by asking: "Did you forget to cook it?"
