Now that’s a power suit! Lisa Wilkinson dares to be bold in orange two-piece

She’s built up quite the reputation for her fashion choices over the years and Lisa Wilkinson didn’t disappoint in the style stakes as she stepped out in a coral power suit for a glamorous event on Wednesday night in Sydney. The Project host was one of the special guests at the David Jones SS19 Bright Night Party and stole the show when she made her grand entrance.

While she’s known to wear some truly glamorous dresses to star-studded events over the years, Lisa made a statement when she stepped out in the trendy power suit. The television presenter was full of confidence in a pair of tailored pants and a matching oversized double-breasted jacket.

The outfit complimented the journalist, 59, in all the right places and matched perfectly with her gold heels, black clutch, trendy glasses and gold jewellery. While she wore her brunette locks in effortless waves for the fashionable occasion.

She was joined at the event by Studio 10 host Angela Bishop, 51, who took centre stage in an off-the-shoulder patterned mini dress which featured dramatic bell sleeves. She finished off the bohemian-inspired look with a stylish black chunky belt and matching knee-high boots. She also brightened up her look with statement silver dangling earrings and an assortment of colourful rings while she wore her hair in soft waves.

Elsewhere, fellow Studio 10 host Sarah Harris put on a very glamorous display in a beautiful white dress which featured a high neck, stylish sleeves and an asymmetrical hemline. She finished off the modest yet fashionable look with statement gold earrings and black strappy heels – proving she’s every inch the fashionista.

The three stepped out with a flurry of other Aussie stars and personalities at the fashion event to view the wide range of outfits created by the popular department store. Meanwhile, it comes just a month after Lisa hit back at claims she was seen “fleeing” the Channel 10 studios after being made to feel like an “unwanted step-child” on The Project – branding the reports “ridiculous”.

The TV star had been enjoying her annual holiday abroad with husband Peter FitzSimons last month, apparently unaware of claims by several news outlets that she skipped the majority of the Channel 10 show’s anniversary celebrations after being made to feel “unwanted”. Having seen one of the magazine stories at the end of her holiday, Lisa hit back in a furious message on Instagram.

“Well the holiday is now officially over…it seems in more ways than one,” she wrote at the time. “So there I was, standing in the queue at the supermarket this morning, right next to the magazine rack, when I saw it: ‘Furious Lisa Flees Channel 10’ right there on the cover of one of the weekly ‘women’s’ mags.

“(And let’s ignore for a moment the fact that the pic accompanying this headline was of a particularly tender moment from my 10th anniversary at the Today Show at Channel Nine.) But honestly, does ANYONE believe this stuff???” She shared a photo alongside the long message of her smiling off into the distance, and revealed in her caption that it was taken on holiday by Pete.

“Do I look like someone ‘fleeing’ anything?” she added. “Do I look like I feel like ‘an unwanted stepchild’ as this story so ridiculously described me (with apologies to all the beautiful stepchildren out there)? Honestly the number of absolute lies in this story takes my breath away.”

She added: “I won’t bore you by going through them all….and I promise you, I’m old enough and been in this business long enough to take the hits… But I figure if I don’t call out this BS right now, this story will go on and on under a bunch of different headings for months to come.

“So please, don’t believe any of it. Tonight, after a holiday booked six months ago, I am back at the job, the network and with the Sunday @theprojecttv team that I love. 6.30pm on @channel10au. Hope to see you then! Lisa.xxx.”
