MasterChef Australia winner Nat Thaipun may have won $250,000 on the reality cooking series, but her newfound wealth hasn’t stopped her from returning to her old life.
On Saturday morning, the Victorian barista, 28, was spotted selling clothes at her vintage clothing stall at the Evelyn Hotel in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy.
The culinary queen sat on a silver crate as she offloaded her retro clothing at the popular local market, which is located just outside of the CBD.
Nat blended in with the crowd as she rocked her signature grungy look.
She wore a black unbuttoned leather jacket paired with a rock T-shirt and baggy trousers.
She completed her getup with matching sneakers and a black tote bag and added a touch of colour with a beige hair ribbon.

Last week, Thaipun won MasterChef in a gripping finale, after completing chef Clare Smyth’s ‘Core-teaser’ dessert with 113 steps – but it was not without its faults.

‘You had everything on the plate. It looked incredible. But when we ate it, surprisingly, there were textural flaws,’ said judge Andy Allen during the nail-biting scoring component of the show.
‘Thankfully, you made up for it in flavour,’ added judge and food critic Sofia Levin.
Nat needed 33 points to beat runner-up Josh ‘Pezza’ Perry and she scraped in by a whisker.

She managed to get a 7 out of 10 from all five judges, including guest judge Clare, leading her to victory by two points.
The winner walks away with chef training from leading professional chefs, the chance to have their own cookbook published, and $250,000 in cash.
Starting last week, Nat will also be serving her signature menu at Alumni Restaurant, Crown Melbourne.
