Martha Stewart’s arrival in Australia this week has caused a stir Down Under. 

The American celebrity chef was looking absolutely radiant as she attended Vivid Sydney festival on Wednesday night, where she is presenting In Conversation with Martha Stewart as part of the event. 

The 83-year-old seemed decades younger than her years as she showed off her fresh visage while posing in front of the Opera House, which is lit up in neon colours for the festival. 

Martha opted for a patchwork style print coat to fend off the chilly weather in the area, under which she had on a cream blouse. 

The top matched her wide-cut trousers, and the television host added a bold pearl choker.

For makeup, Martha chose a rosy and glowing palette with a pink lip gloss, and wore her blonde locks in a retro flip.  

The culinary icon had earlier in her trip skipped over to the east of Sydney for some shopping and a bite to eat.

She chose to dine at Totti’s, a mecca for local and international celebrities, reportedly after a friend’s recommendation.

The Merivale-owned restaurant, known for its famous bread and small plates, as well as its signature rich pasta dishes, is beloved by the eastern suburbs in-crowd.

Given its reputation as one of Sydney’s best restaurants, we asked around what America’s kitchen queen thought of her dining experience.

‘She was impressed. She had a great time and ate everything,’ they said, adding that she ‘was really lovely’, ‘super friendly’ and asked the staff ‘lots of questions’. 

The cookbook author ‘enjoyed a large selection of antipasti’ accompanied by the signature wood-fired bread, but our spy didn’t stay long enough to see if she sampled any of the mains.

She had ‘Sanpellegrino sparkling water’ while she ate, said our source, and ‘seemed very interested in the produce, asking the waiters lots of questions.’

Before her lunch at the eatery owned by billionaire pub baron Justin Hemmes, Martha was first spotted browsing through some ritzy stores on Gould St.

At one point, she popped into the flagship boutique for SIR The Label, an upmarket clothing brand that is very popular among eastern suburbs set. 

Just hours before Martha made a surprise appearance at Totti’s, she was seen arriving at Sydney airport in the early hours of the morning. 

She flew in from the US ahead of her Vivid Sydney In Conversation event, and was greeted by airport staff holding a sign which bore her surname Stewart.

The home-cooking icon was all smiles as she stopped to meet fans outside her terminal, toting a personalised ‘MARTHA’ travel bag.
