Lisa Wilkinson opted for a low-key look on Saturday as she was spotted arriving at Sydney airport with nothing but a Celine garment bag.
The former Channel Ten star, 65, who reportedly plans to step into the world of politics after her shock exit from The Project in November 2022, kept her face hidden by a large pair of dark sunglasses.
Slipping into a casual chic look, the TV personality stepped out in baggy blue jeans and a white graphic T-shirt covered by an oversized grey blazer.
Wearing a pair of white sneakers and a brown leather handbag to complete the ensemble, Lisa kept her head down as she made her way through the airport.
She rocked her usual brunette bob and recognisable side-part.
The sighting comes after reports suggested Lisa has plans to launch an exciting new career in politics this year.

‘She’s 65 and ready for a new challenge—to try her hand in politics. She’s always had a keen interest in being on the front foot to her local community,’ a close friend allegedly told Woman’s Day magazine in January.
‘She may well just run for a seat in the upcoming election.’
Lisa also recently shared a cryptic post to social media revealing she was ready for ‘new beginnings’.
After two years of gardening leave to the tune of $1.7million a year, her time at Channel Ten ended with a whimper over the Christmas holidays.
Her multi-year contract lapsed on New Year’s Eve and wasn’t renewed.
Lisa joined the network in 2018 after an infamous pay dispute at Nine when she discovered her Today co-host Karl Stefanovic was earning significantly more than her.
Everything was going well when she signed a new deal with Ten in 2021.
But just a year later, she stepped down as host of The Project—her sole on-air role—citing the toll of ‘relentless, targeted’ media coverage.

In the two years since vanishing from our screens, she continued to collect a monthly paycheck from Ten, commercial TV’s forgotten child, despite industry-wide cutbacks.
Lisa has since since been slowly building back her public image, as the embattled TV star made quiet appearances at red carpet events in recent months, and last year showed up at a trendy influencer shindig.
She surprised guests at the launch of wellness brand Vegamour’s new GRO+ Advanced Hair Serum at Bondi Icebergs, the Daily Telegraph reported.
It was the latest in a string of appearances in an effort for Lisa to ‘ease back into the Sydney social scene’ the publication claimed.
