She’s undergone quite the\u00a0glow up in recent months<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And Samantha Armytage<\/a> looked incredibly chic once again as she attended an exclusive Ralph Lauren lunch at the Australian Open<\/a> in Melbourne<\/a> on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Samantha, who has been sporting a slimmer frame in recent months, highlighted her tiny waist with a leather belt by Ralph Lauren, worth $360.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

For makeup, The Golden Bachelor host drew attention to her cheeks with liberally-applied blush<\/a>, while emphasising her eyes with black liner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She topped it all off with a slick of taupe lipstick.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Sam shared a selfie in which she was drinking a beer and wearing the cap on Instagram, alongside a cheeky caption.<\/p>\n

‘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.’<\/p>\n

KFC’s official account noticed the post, replying to Sam’s comment: ‘Queen of the buckethead’.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

She also added another cheeky caption that read, ‘Never forget,’ while once again tagging KFC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"She’s undergone quite the\u00a0glow up in recent months.\u00a0 And Samantha Armytage looked incredibly chic once again as she…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":432133,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,100,134,647,37505,2017],"class_list":["post-432132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-dailymail","tag-entertainment","tag-melbourne","tag-samantha-armytage","tag-tvshowbiz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=432132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432132\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/432133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=432132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=432132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=432132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
