MasterChef Australia’s Melissa Leong has an Angelina Jolie moment in a racy black dress with a thigh-high split at the AACTA Awards
She’s undeniably one of the biggest breakout stars of 2020 thanks to her role on MasterChef Australia.
And at the AACTA Awards on Monday, Melissa Leong turned heads yet again by walking the red carpet in a racy black dress with a plunging neckline and a thigh high split.
The 38-year-old appeared to be channelling Angelina Jolie’s iconic 2012 Oscars dress, which also featured a thigh high split.

At one point, the celebrity chef even seemed to recreate Angelina’s red carpet pose with her leg poking out of the gown.
Melissa’s eye-catching dress emphasised her slim pins as she posed up a storm in a pair of black stiletto heels.
The TV personality looked red-carpet ready in the plunging dress, which featured a long train for dramatic effect.

She wore her dark hair off her face in a slicked back hairdo and opted for a peachy makeup palette.
Melissa finished her A-list look with gold accessories including a chunky bracelet, rings and dainty earrings.
She was joined by her MasterChef co-stars Andy Allen and Jock Zonfrillo who looked smart in dark tuxedos.

The brunette beauty shot to fame earlier this year as one of the new hosts and judges on Channel 10’s MasterChef Australia.
The season was such a success that the network brought back the spin-off Junior MasterChef, with Melissa once again stepping in as host and judge.
She’s currently busy filming the next season of MasterChef, which will air in 2021.
