Nigella Lawson raised eyebrows when she covered up her body for a trip to the beach earlier this week - and just yesterday she flashed her bunions on a shopping trip in Sydney.
Today, the TV chef made yet another fashion faux pas as she stepped out in an ill-fitting dress that showed off all her lumps and bumps.
The Domestic Goddess, 51, famed for her womanly figure, squeezed herself into the black number but the results were not as she may have hoped.
Nigella teamed the black dress with a pair of black peep-toe wedges, accessorising the outfit with her eye-catching day-glo orange bag and matching watch.
During a shopping trip yesterday, she unwittingly revealed a large bunion on her left foot as she strolled with a friend in Sydney.
Wearing a pair of silver sequinned FitFlops, the swelling joint was clearly visible as she visited stores in the Bondi area of the city. The shoes claim to 'help realign ground force reaction closer to your joints'.
It appears years of wearing high heels have taken their toll on Lawson's feet.
The mother-of-two has long been a fan of towering stilettos - even admitting to wearing them in the bedroom as part of her seduction technique.
A bunion is a bony bump at the base of the big toe joint. This becomes painfully inflamed when shoes rub against it - a problem made worse by high heels which throw the body weight forward.
A bunionectomy can be offered to correct it, which involves the surgeon cutting into the toe joint then realigning the toe bone and securing it with screws.
Such a procedure would mean taking time off from work and the patient isn't allowed to wear heels for months.
Lawson, 51, isn't alone - Victoria Beckham and Oprah Winfrey are just a few of a host of stars who suffer from the swelling of the foot joint.
After years in towering heels, Beckham had very prominent bunions on both feet.
But last year, she played down how painful they were: 'The attention on my feet really was embarrassing. I think I'll have to have the surgery, but I've heard it's most painful.
'They touched it up to make it look worse. If [my feet] were as bad as all that, I wouldn't be able to wear these fabulous shoes by Brian Atwood.'
Miss Lawson – who is married to advertising guru and art collector Charles Saatchi, 67 – is in Australia to film a new series of MasterChef. She will make a guest appearance alongside Rick Stein and Heston Blumenthal.
The celebrity chef is known for showing off her curves in tight-fitting outfits on her television shows.
So it caused something of a stir on Monday when she visited Bondi Beach in a cover-all outfit that resembled a burkini – a swimsuit designed to preserve the modesty of Muslim women.

Perhaps she thought the usually slimming qualities of the colour would counteract its tight fit on her larger frame.
However, it had the opposite effect and is another strike against her name in the fashion stakes during her trip Down Under. Nigella teamed the black dress with a pair of black peep-toe wedges, accessorising the outfit with her eye-catching day-glo orange bag and matching watch.

Protruding: Lawson's decision to wear FitFlops was wise given her prominent bunions. The shoes claim to 'help realign ground force reaction closer to your joints'
