Since she burst onto our screens to rapturous applause in April, MasterChef judge Melissa Leong has proved she’s an expert on both food and fashion.
Just as her judging predecessor Matt Preston became synonymous with jaunty cravats, Melissa has quickly become renowned for her inimitable style. From vibrant, pendulous earrings to her collection of midi-dresses, the items the food industry stalwart wears on MasterChef have been earning her many fans.
The latest piece to capture attention was the winter-ready Zara dress the 38-year-old wore on Sunday night’s episode.
The polka dot V-neck midi-dress with tiered ruffles and a drawstring waist was dubbed “amazing” by fans. Even more amazing however, is the price – $99.

It’s now selling fast (if you want to own it, we’d recommend you hit ‘order’, stat), a phenomenon that continues to surprise the food writer.
“I find it really funny all of the comments on the fashion and the hair and the makeup and things like that,” she told news.com.au recently. “I love style in this capacity, to me style is a vehicle for commanding attention and then being able to diffuse that and convey what’s going on.”
