What a difference a day makes! Samantha Armytage ditches her gym clothes and unveils a glamorous red carpet makeover at the Logie Awards
The Golden Bachelor host, who is newly single and ready to mingle following her divorce from Richard Lavender, swapped her low-key weekend look for a jaw-dropping red carpet transformation.
Just a day earlier, the 48-year-old was spotted rugged up in a beige turtleneck sweater and brown leggings, carrying a pink yoga mat as she headed to a morning workout in Sydney.
She kept her face makeup-free, and added to her look with a beanie and a navy puffer jacket.
Fast forward to Sunday evening and Sam was almost unrecognisable, turning heads in a breathtaking cream gown with graduated shades of beige, pale pink and grey.
The ethereal dress featured a sheer tulle overlay and an elegant sweeping neckline that sat gracefully across one shoulder.

She paired the ensemble with a full face of bronzed makeup, a soft pink lip and glittering statement earrings.
Her blonde locks were swept back in a chic updo, giving her an effortlessly polished look.
But it wasn't just her gown that had tongues wagging – it was her dashing date for the evening.
On her arm was Barry 'Bear' Myrden, the charming 61-year-old star of her new dating series The Golden Bachelor.
While the pairing was part of a clever promotional push for the upcoming series, the glamorous outing also marked Sam's triumphant public comeback.
Friends say the event was a significant moment for the TV favourite, who has spent the past year largely out of the spotlight following the breakdown of her marriage.
'Sam's looking amazing and she's feeling better than she has in a long time,' one insider told Daily Mail Australia.
'She's got a great new project, she's glowing – and you can tell she's enjoying life again.'
Sam split with husband Richard Lavender late last year, just shy of their four-year anniversary.
The television personality has been single and ready to mingle ever since, and has recently undergone a glamorous makeover ahead of her hosting role on The Golden Bachelor.
Barry 'Bear' Myrden is an infrastructure engineer and passionate sailor from Sydney, who has been handpicked as the leading man for the upcoming Australian adaptation.
He is a father-of-three and a respected professional in the tech industry, currently working in Data Centre Management for Woolworths Group.
With decades of experience in his field, he has held senior roles at major companies like Macquarie Bank and the NSW Port Authority.

Vanessa Feltz stuns in a green floral gown as she continues to show off her weight loss
Vanessa Feltz stunned in a green floral gown as she continued to show off her weight loss on Monday. The TV presenter, 63, has been candid about her challenges with her weight in the past but has worked to maintain her slim figure. Leaving her TV show in London, she wore a summery midi dress with a tired skirt and ruffles. Vanessa completed her outfit with a pair of bright pink flip flops and layered a cream, boucle jacket over the top. She looked in high spirits as she carried her dress from last week's National Reality TV Awards over her arm. The talk show host revealed the secret behind her weight loss after admitting she has battled with her body image for decades. The former This Morning presenter has been candid about her challenges with her weight in the past, having fluctuated dramatically between sizes 10 and 22. Vanessa has described the 'turmoil' of dieting as soul-destroying, with her weight previously yo-yoing for 18 month periods as she came on and off eating plans. But in recent times, Vanessa has managed to sustain a slim figure. The presenter was pictured flaunting her impressive physique as she was awarded the prestigious Talk Show gong at the National Reality TV Awards on Wednesday. She arrived for the event, which was held at London's Porchester Hall, in a stunning pale pink gown with silver beaded detailing. The broadcaster proudly posed for snaps as she arrived for the ceremony, before heading backstage to show off her award. Speaking in OK! magazine in April, Vanessa has revealed the secret behind her sustained good looks. After being complimented on her figure, she replied: 'Oh that's very nice of you to say, thank you. Vanessa has been candid about her struggles with her weight in the past, having fluctuated between sizes 22 and 10. Pictured in 2009 She added: 'What have I been doing? I don't know! I think it's because I'm working so much, to be honest. 'I'm just working seven days a week. I've got the new Vanessa show on Channel 5 every day at 12.30pm. Then I do LBC Saturdays and Sundays. 'Being busy and on my feet must be contributing to how I look.' It was only a couple of years ago that Vanessa's cheating ex-boyfriend, Ben Ofoedu, branded her a 'chubby blonde' in a cheap shot after their breakup. But just months later, the presenter was showing off a new-look and impressive figure, having lost 2st thanks to what she called a 'broken heart diet'. Vanessa admitted that following the split, which arose after allegations of Ben cheating were leaked to the press, she 'hadn't eaten for months'.
