Julie Goodwin has wowed fans with a very eye-catching new look.
The MasterChef star, 54, took to Instagram on Thursday to tease an upcoming appearance on Sunrise.
The celebrity gourmand was on the Channel Seven morning show to concoct a sweet curried lamb chop casserole.
However, fans seemed just as enamoured with Julie’s eye for fashion as her culinary skills.
Julie shared a pre-show photo that showed her preparing for her on-camera moment.
Looking very svelte in a chic zebra-print blouse that she wore under an Australian Women’s Weekly apron, Julie was also sporting a pair of unique glasses.

Julie’s eyewear, from Central Coast-based optical fashion label The Elusive Miss Lou, featured a subtle tortoiseshell at the top of the frame.
This was coupled with dramatic black and white fabric stripes at the bottom of the frame – a pattern that matched her animal-print blouse perfectly.
Fans were quick to gush over Julie’s $369 eyewear, with many demanding to know where she picked up the glasses.
‘Julie, that looks so delicious. You look amazing! And, I absolutely love your glasses. Where did you buy them from?’ one fan asked, with Julie giving up the label in her reply.
‘Love the look! Glasses are great! Your smile says it all,’ another offered.
Summing up the sentiment of many, a third chimed in with: ‘Now those glasses are beautiful… so flattering.’
It comes after Julie recently issued a statement defending her weight loss after fans raised concerns about her health.
She shared an update on Instagram after a new photo, in which she looked very slim, was posted to her account.

Her dramatic transformation led to comments from worried followers.
‘Thanks to all who have expressed concern about my health. I am well, and I am within the healthy weight range. My doctor concurs,’ she wrote.
‘For those who have asked me for advice or tips, I am not qualified to provide this. It’s advice that should be sought from your trusted health professionals, not from me. I’m a TV cook,’ Julie continued.
‘For those who want to comment on the shape and condition of my body, please do it on your own page because I’m tired of reading it. For that reason, I’ll be turning off comments on this post.
‘For all of us, can we please find something more interesting to talk about? Can we please model kindness to our kids and grandkids, and can we please leave this obsession with people’s looks back in the 1980s? Peace and love.’
Julie was prompted to speak out after a recent selfie led to comments asking whether she was ‘sick’.
‘I’m actually concerned… to be honest, but if you are healthy and well, there is nothing to worry about,’ one fan commented.
‘Oh Julie… too much weight loss,’ another chimed in, while one more said, ‘She is sick. She looks shocking.’

‘Julie, you are awesome, but are you okay?’ someone else asked, with one more posting, ‘Are you okay, Julie? You don’t look okay. Hope there’s nothing wrong.’
‘She looks like a skeleton,’ one more person wrote, with yet another saying, ‘OMG you look so ill.’
Others defended Julie, with one person writing, ‘Love how people speculate she is on the jabs. My bet is she is looking after herself and eating the right foods.’
‘OMG Julie, you look amazing! You have a beautiful smile. Keep shining!’ another said.
One more chimed in: ‘Can everyone stop commenting on Julie’s weight and telling her she’s too thin? All you’re doing is projecting on her what YOU think she should look like. If she had always looked like this, no-one would say anything.
‘Just be happy for her that she’s happy, her doctor’s happy, and she’s healthy!’
Julie recently revealed she had lost more weight following her dramatic ‘accidental’ transformation, which saw her drop a whopping 20kg almost a decade ago.
