MasterChef judge Melissa Leong trades her polished ensembles for a more relaxed look as she rides out Melbourne’s stage four lockdown

She was quickly labelled a fashion icon by fans during her first season judging MasterChef Australia this year.  

And on Friday, Melissa Leong traded her polished on-screen ensembles for a more relaxed look, as she rides out Melbourne’s stage-four coronavirus restrictions.

Sharing a photo to her Instagram account, the 38-year-old food critic looked every inch the comfortable star in a grey cashmere sweater and matching pants.

 ‘Peak iso luxury sloth level: unlocked,’ she cheekily wrote alongside the caption.

It comes just weeks after the star shared a close-up selfie of herself dressed in a blood orange turtleneck knit jumper, the stylish star accessorised with a black mask studded with Swarovski crystals.

During her time on MasterChef, Melissa has worn an array of designer clothes, rocking everything from affordable fast fashion to luxury frocks most of us can only dream about. 

One of the first looks that caught attention was her bright orange-red Ted Baker mini-dress, which was worn during one of their early outdoor shoots. 

Melissa paired the colourful dress with a $39.95 wide-brimmed straw boater hat by Piper, tying the ribbon around her chin for a vintage look.

Melissa and her stylist Charmaine De Pasquale clearly have a love for Ted Baker, styling multiple looks from the designer across the first half of the season. 

Embracing 1970s style, Melissa donned a beige Alice McCall jumpsuit worth $495 in late April, which featured large puffed sleeves, a bold collar and a broderie floral design.

To break up the cream-tones Melissa styled a chunky tan-coloured belt with a tortoise-shell clasp from Seed Heritage, which retails at $59.95.

Melissa also opted for more casual ensembles, including $295 the wide-leg jeans with contrasted white stitching from Alice McCall, which she paired with a simple black three-quarter sleeve top. 

Melissa previously told 10Play she loved fans were loving her style and understood she was a multi-faceted person. 

‘I am flattered that so many people have resonated with my style and that beauty and fashion standards in the media continue to grow in their inclusivity and reflection of the real world,’ Melissa said. 

She added: ‘To be considered part of the fashion zeitgeist is fun, but it will never steal my focus from my qualifications as a food writer, presenter and communicator.
