by

Nagi Maehashi, the creator of RecipeTin Eats, showed off a stunning new style at the TikTok Awards in Sydney on Wednesday.

The well-known cook and writer, age 46, turned heads as she arrived wearing a halterneck dress created by designer Carla Zampatti.

The head-turning frock stopped just above the knee and featured a frilled hem for a touch of drama.

She completed her outfit with gold jewelry and shoes, including elegant heels, a noticeable clutch, and several bangles.

Okay, so Nagi just posted, and honestly, I’m living for it! She shared this amazing video of herself looking genuinely happy – like, radiating joy! And the caption? SO funny! I seriously couldn’t stop laughing. She’s just the best, and I’m so glad she shared this little piece of her happiness with us.

‘Ditched the apron, donned a frock, slapped on some lippie and even brushed my hair!!’ she began.

It was a real privilege to announce the FOOD CREATOR OF THE YEAR! Congratulations to everyone who won or was nominated – it was a fantastic evening.

Lots of Nagi’s famous friends commented on her photos, complimenting her beautiful outfit on the red carpet.

‘You were sensational,’ wrote veteran presenter Jessica Rowe.

‘Looking FABULOUS,’ added fellow celebrity chef Becky Excell.

The famous chef, who has been dealing with a recent public scandal, seemed to be enjoying a night out.

In April, she claimed that Brooke Bellamy, the owner of Brooki Bakehouse, had copied her recipes for caramel slice and baklava and included them in her popular cookbook, Bake With Brooki.

The accusations led to weeks of online debate, and Bellamy had to repeatedly defend her work with public statements.

Bellamy explained in a video that while her recipes weren’t entirely her own creation, they still reflected her personal touch.

She explained that although these recipes are special to her, she didn’t create them entirely from scratch. They’re all based on ideas and recipes she found from others.

She also revealed her biggest inspiration had always been close to home. 

I’ve always loved bakeries and the people who create amazing things in them, but my biggest influence is definitely my mum. I learned everything I know about cooking and baking from her, helping her in the kitchen when I was growing up.

Bellamy denied accusations of plagiarism, explaining that recipes often have common elements.
