The Mornings with Kerri-Anne veteran paired her statement pants with a matching blazer – both featuring a stunning hand-stitched floral pattern.

 The floral print traced the hemline of the journalist’s pants, which were slim-fitting to the knee, before flaring out in an extravagant pleat design.

Keeping the focus on her outerwear, Kerri-Anne completed the outfit with a simple yellow top, accessorising with stylish silver jewellery.

Flaunting her love for designer fashion, the personality was seen carrying a Boy Chanel Small Quilted Flap Bag in Red, valued at up to $5,000AUD.
