Cassandra Thorburn is quite the style chameleon.

The ex-wife of Karl Stefanovic glammed up for a series of TV interviews this week to promote her new podcast about divorce.

But in a promo photo unveiled on Wednesday, she adopted a more bookish look while posing with co-host Annaliese Dent and psychologist Jacqui Manning.

Cassandra’s usual TV-ready hairdo comprises loosely waved shoulder-length hair with bangs.

She opted for this style while appearing on The Daily Edition on Wednesday.

But the mother-of-three, 48, kept things corporate chic in her promotional shot, pulling her hair back into a short ponytail and wearing smart spectacles.

She also wore a conservative pink blouse, and looked ready for a day at the office.

It was announced on Monday that Cassandra had signed a deal with Seven West Media to host a podcast series about divorce and separation.

While the podcast is not about her split with Karl specifically, is believed she will allude to their 2016 break-up in the series titled Divorce Story.

The former journalist announced the project on Instagram, telling her followers it will consist of ‘informative’ discussions with legal and relationship experts.
