Lisa Wilkinson made a style statement as she stepped out for lunch in Sydney on Friday.
The embattled television star looked chic in white pants and a mini trench coat as she visited Sydney’s Bondi Icebergs restaurant.
The 64-year-old completed her stylish look with a $7000 beige woven Chanel bag, and a pair of strappy heels.
Lisa curled her short brunette locks and wore dark sunglasses as she arrived to the popular venue.
She finished her look with a stack of gold chain link bracelets, a watch and a pair of gold hoop earrings.
For makeup, the former star of The Project chose a muted palette with a soft nude lip gloss and blush.
The sighting comes amid news 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 last month.

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.

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.
