With a successful business under her belt, Sonya Mefaddi has had the last laugh after being portrayed as the ‘villain’ on this year’s season of My Kitchen Rules.

And on Monday, Sonya Mefaddi arrived in NYC ahead of Fashion Week, where she will be showcasing several Australian labels as owner of the Fashion Palette agency.

In a photo shared to Instagram, the glamorous brunette posed next to a yellow taxi in a flirty, thigh-skimming mini dress and designer sneakers.

‘It’s so good to be back in New York!’ she captioned the snap. ‘Looking forward to producing another @fashionpalette season with just three days to go.’

In July, the former MKR star shared several photos from her holiday in Las Vegas, following a successful showing at Miami Swim Week.

Meanwhile, Sonya has been trying to distance herself from the controversy surrounding her departure from My Kitchen Rules.

She recently claimed that she was ‘never best friends’ with partner Hadil Faiza, despite the fact they were billed as ‘BFFs’ on the program.

‘Firstly, Hadil and I were never best friends as the show suggested,’ Sonya told her Instagram followers during a Q&A session earlier this year.

‘We are in fact family friends. I have never cooked with her prior to the show and I have learned a lot about Hadil while filming.’
