Samantha Armytage brought some old-school game to the annual Marie Claire Women of the Year Awards in Sydney on Thursday night.

The Golden Bachelor host, 49, stunned in a stylish monochromatic ensemble featuring a cropped white jacket which showcased her toned stomach.

She paired it with stylish black pants and matching heels, while her blonde hair was styled perfectly straight around her shoulders.

The veteran presenter accessorised with several chunky rings and a pair of elegant gold earrings which peeked through her locks.

Sam looked almost half her age with a very glamorous makeup look, adding a lick of red nail-polish to her attire, visible through silver peep-toe heels.

The Nine star arrived alongside several other Aussie celebrities at Dawes Point for the annual awards ceremony.

The Marie Claire Women of the Year Awards are intended to acknowledge and celebrate ‘game-changing’ women across Australia.

The ceremony recognises Australians ‘who have led with bravery, fought with passion, and inspired with creativity.

Sam’s appearance at the event comes just a few weeks after the TV star was announced to be making an explosive return to breakfast TV.

Channel Nine revealed earlier this month the former Sunrise host will join the Today show, filling in for Sarah Abo over the Christmas break.

The Golden Bachelor star will share the highly coveted gig with Nova radio host Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli, while Karl Stefanovic enjoys a well–deserved break.

Rumours had swirled for some time that Sam was set to replace Sarah on the Today show in the New Year.

The TV veteran appeared on 2GB with Ben Fordham in October, where she was asked about the growing speculation that she would be returning to breakfast TV.

‘Ben, you know how this game works—these stories get planted, leaked,’ she began, revealing she had bumped into Sarah and comforted her in the wake of the headlines.

‘Sarah’s wonderful… I saw her at Upfronts—at Nine Upfronts—the other night.

‘We gave each other a hug and I said, “Are you okay?”

‘She’s good. Sarah and Karl are fantastic,’ Sam added of the current Today line-up.

She then stood her ground, revealing The Golden Bachelor was where her head is right now.

‘You know how it goes. People talk. But I am very happy in prime time. Golden Bachelor is where it’s at for me so I’m quite content with my little lot in life,’ she asserted.
