The Project host Wilkinson, 58, has been central in the limelight over the past few months thanks to her high profile move from Today, following a dispute over a pay gap with her co-host. She has joined some of the biggest names in the industry at a series of events and public appearances, showing off her timeless style.

Just a few weeks ago, she stunned in a billowing green summer dress and towering platform shoes at a product launch for Vitaco Health in Sydney. And it’s not the only colourful item she’s unveiled to her fans, as she wowed in a bright red floor-length number at the end of last year, at the inaugural Fred Hollows gala dinner in Los Angeles.

Back in October, she renewed her wedding vows with her husband Peter, and looked incredible in a bridal white floor-length dress for the ceremony – 25 years after the first tied the knot.
