Lisa Wilkinson made a rare red carpet appearance at the opening night of Sunset Boulevard in Sydney on Saturday.
The embattled television star appeared in excellent spirits as she made a glamorous entrance at the Sydney Opera House.
The 64-year-old opted for a draped black satin blouse underneath a slightly oversized blazer.
She added a pair of chic silk trousers in a wide cut in an alluring blush shade of rose gold.
Lisa finished the look with a pair of pointed patent leather heels in a biege colour and carried a fabric covered designer purse.
For makeup, the former star of The Project chose a muted palette with a soft nude lip gloss and a wash of warm toned eye shadow.
She wore her brunette bob down in soft waves and added a pair of gold hoop earrings to the ensemble.
Lisa finished her look with a stack of gold chain link bracelets, and was all smiles on the red carpet.

It comes after news that Lisa wants to make a return to TV screens following months of inaction and five tedious weeks spent in a courtroom, sources say.
The Channel 10 star and former darling of breakfast TV is keen to get back to delivering more ‘blockbuster interviews’ in the New Year, friends told the Weekend Australian.
Wilkinson quit The Project last November and despite remaining on the Ten payroll until the end of 2024, she hasn’t appeared on the channel for over a year.
Despite her lengthy hiatus from the network, Wilkinson has remained in the public eye through her role in a highly-publicised defamation trial.

She was embroiled in a case with Bruce Lehrmann who was suing Network 10 and Wilkinson over an interview with Brittany Higgins that was broadcast on The Project and online.
In the final five weeks of the court’s sitting year the defamation case has played out before the court. Justice Lee has reserved his decision in the matter.
Friends of Wilkinson say her court appearances have played in her favour by giving the TV star ‘a constant stream of publicity’.
‘Yes, she’s been off air for a while but I don’t think anyone will have forgotten her,’ former Seven and Nine executive Peter Meakin told the Weekend Australian.
‘I’m sure her loyal followers will remain loyal.’
Network Ten maintains they are in talks to develop ‘other projects’ with Wilkinson.
