Over her other shoulder, the TV host carried a $369 brown handbag from Oroton, which perfectly matched her brown and white loafers.
Samantha made a surprise return to the Sunrise studio on Friday morning after leaving the program three years ago.
Tensions became apparent as the former breakfast television presenter, who left Sunrise in 2021, sat opposite co-presenters Matt Shirvington and her rival successor Natalie Barr to plug the upcoming Channel Seven series of Famer Wants A Wife.

Armytage, 47, sat next to Barr, 56, but kept a few feet away for the sit-down interview with this season’s celebrities, Bert and Dustin.
The pair appeared to exchange a number of awkward glances at each other as Barr and Shirvington welcomed her back to the show.
“Samantha Armytage, back on the bench,” Barr said.
Even fans noticed the star’s behavior and reported it on social media.
“She looks SO happy to be there…” one user wrote sarcastically on Australian TV forum Media Spy.

It’s Armtage’s first appearance on Sunrise as part of the publicity tour for FWAW, when she famously snubbed the morning show in 2022.
Instead, she was interviewed on The Kyle and Jackie O Show while the farmers sat down with Barr and Shirvington.
During the interview on Friday, Armytage, a real-life farmer who married horse breeder Richard Lavender in late 2020, raved about her life outside the Sunrise studio and her role as host of the matchmaking series.
‘It’s perfect. This show has been great for me. I’m really enjoying it and meeting these guys. It’s fantastic,” she said.
Armytage became Sunrise co-host alongside David ‘Kochie’ Koch in 2013, before leaving in 2021.
She was replaced by Barr, who will remain on the morning program at Shirvington after taking over Koch’s duties in 2023.

Armytage famously “upset” Barr with a snarky tweet after he left the show in March 2021.
‘Look, I’m gone. Nat always wanted the job… and she finally got it. She should just move on and enjoy it – and forget about me (even though I’m unforgettable),” she tweeted at the time.
Barr was reportedly “upset” by her predecessor’s hurtful tweet months after her 2021 departure, which suggested she was desperate for the top job.

Barr didn’t expect the former presenter to be so “snarky” after they worked together for years on Seven’s breakfast show, a source told New Idea at the time.
“No one was more shocked and saddened by Sam’s comments than Nat,” the insider claimed.
‘She is upset and has no idea why the snarkiness continues even though Sam is gone [from Sunrise] for months.’
Meanwhile, Barr previously revealed that she did not have a close relationship with Armytage.

When asked about the rumors that they were not close, Barr told The Australian Women’s Weekly that the pair “got along well in the office” but rarely spoke after the cameras stopped rolling because they didn’t have much in common.
“The truth is, we haven’t really seen each other outside of the office,” Barr said.
“We had completely different lives, I think,” the mother of two added. ‘We were in different places. She was with her friends and I spent time with my family.
“So yeah, we were in different places.”
