She’s undergone quite the glow up in recent months

And Samantha Armytage looked incredibly chic once again as she attended an exclusive Ralph Lauren lunch at the Australian Open in Melbourne on Friday. 

The TV veteran, 49, showcased her very expensive taste as she posed for photos, flashing a Cartier Tank watch worth a whopping $5,700 on her wrist. 

Of course, Samantha’s ensemble was otherwise designed entirely by Ralph Lauren, including a $600 camel jacket, a blue button-down shirt worth $220 and a pair of $350 wide-leg trousers in cream.

Samantha, who has been sporting a slimmer frame in recent months, highlighted her tiny waist with a leather belt by Ralph Lauren, worth $360.  

Sporting a bouffant hairdo, the blonde completed her look with a diamond bracelet, canvas clutch bag, black strappy heels and gold earrings – while slinging a pair of sunglasses onto her shirt buttons.

For makeup, The Golden Bachelor host drew attention to her cheeks with liberally-applied blush, while emphasising her eyes with black liner. 

She topped it all off with a slick of taupe lipstick. 

Also spotted at the exclusive do was sports broadcaster Danika Mason, who looked stylish in a cable-knit Ralph Lauren polo worth $300 and a pair of $230 white shorts by the same brand. 

She completed her look with a cross-body handbag and white sneakers. 

Olympic swimming legend Ian Thorpe was also spotted among the guests, looking suave in his navy Ralph Lauren shirt, worth $250. 

The retired athlete accessorised his stylish ensemble with a paisley neckerchief. 

Meanwhile, Sam is entering her influencer era.

Earlier this month, the television host cheekily asked fast food giant KFC for a lifetime supply of their delicious fried chicken after promoting the brand on Instagram.

She garnered the attention of the brand after donning a KFC cardboard bucket as a hat while attending the cricket – a fun Aussie tradition that many partake in during the match.

Sam shared a selfie in which she was drinking a beer and wearing the cap on Instagram, alongside a cheeky caption.

‘What can I say… I am nothing if not a woman of the people,’ she wrote, adding ‘not sponsored but should be. And no – I’m not dating The Colonel.’

KFC’s official account noticed the post, replying to Sam’s comment: ‘Queen of the buckethead’.

Sam then shared a screenshot of the exchange on Instagram Stories, adding the caption: ‘Surely this deserves free KFC for life?’ while tagging the brand.

The Today show star then displayed her loyalty once more by sharing a second image in which she had the bucket on her head.

She also added another cheeky caption that read, ‘Never forget,’ while once again tagging KFC.
