She is Channel Nine’s newest golden girl, tipped to become the permanent host of the Today show.
And Samantha Armytage made sure she was the centre of attention at the 2026 Logie Awards in Sydney on Sunday evening.
The usually conservative TV star, 48, made jaws drop as she strutted onto the red carpet in a very revealing disco-inspired jumpsuit by Carla Zampatti.
The one-piece showed off plenty of cleavage thanks to a neckline which was slashed down to just above her navel.
The outfit also flaunted her toned arms and slender waist.
Samantha kept the Seventies theme going with a Scanlan Theodore fluffy bag and a chunky gold cuff.

Samantha also went for a sultry look for her hair and make-up, giving her blonde locks some volume by adding extensions.
The veteran TV star and Channel Nine favourite Tom Steinfort look set to become the new hosts of the Today show after their stint on the breakfast program earlier this month led to a boost in ratings.
Nine has been trialling hosts for the show since Karl Stefanovic left in June, following the fallout from his controversial interview with British far-right activist Tommy Robinson on his podcast. Sarah Abo went on maternity leave last month.
And it seems they found the right fit in the pair as they helped lift ratings by an impressive 60,000 viewers.
The ten per cent ratings boost has seen Nine bosses eye the pair for permanent appointments, according to The Australian.
However, viewers will have to wait until August 24 for Samantha to take up the position after she was in Thailand on business.
While Nine still has a long way to go to close the gap on rival Channel Seven breakfast show Sunrise, Today’s ratings moved in the right direction during Samantha and Tom’s stint.

An industry insider praised Tom’s performance during that week.
‘This week was much more of a comfortable watch,’ they told The Daily Telegraph.
‘Tom is a great pick, he has a strong work ethic. He is good… His wife is from Sydney, they could easily pack their bags.’
Tom is already highly regarded within the network and is no stranger to the Today desk.
The veteran presenter served as Today’s newsreader during the Deborah Knight and Georgie Gardner era in 2019, and later became one of 60 Minutes’ most recognisable reporters.
