Veteran television presenter Samantha Armytage made a striking appearance at the annual Marie Claire Women of the Year Awards in Sydney on Thursday evening, demonstrating timeless style and elegance.
A Monochromatic Masterclass
The 49-year-old host of The Golden Bachelor captivated onlookers with a sophisticated monochromatic outfit. She wore a cropped white jacket that elegantly highlighted her toned midriff, pairing it with tailored black trousers and complementary high heels.
Her blonde hair was styled straight and sleek, framing her shoulders perfectly. The ensemble was accessorised with several substantial rings and a pair of elegant gold earrings that glimmered through her hair.
Completing her glamorous look was a flawless makeup application that contributed to a remarkably youthful appearance, along with a bold dash of red nail polish visible through her silver peep-toe heels.
Celebrating Game-Changing Women
The Marie Claire Women of the Year Awards, held at Dawes Point, are designed to honour and celebrate game-changing women from across Australia.
The prestigious ceremony recognises Australian women who have led with bravery, fought with passion, and inspired with creativity in their respective fields.
A Return to Breakfast Television
Sam's high-profile appearance comes shortly after significant career news was confirmed. Earlier this month, Channel Nine announced that the former Sunrise host will be making a return to breakfast television.
She is set to join the Today show roster, filling in for Sarah Abo during the Christmas holiday period. The Golden Bachelor star will share this coveted presenting role with Nova radio host Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli, providing cover while Karl Stefanovic takes a break.
Addressing speculation about her return during an October interview on 2GB with Ben Fordham, Samantha was initially coy about the rumours. "Ben, you know how this game works—these stories get planted, leaked," she remarked, before revealing she had personally reassured Sarah Abo about the situation.
However, she firmly stated her current contentment with her prime-time position, asserting, "I am very happy in prime time. Golden Bachelor is where it's at for me so I'm quite content with my little lot in life."
