She has been at the centre of explosive on-screen drama in recent weeks.
And on Thursday, Married At First Sight bride Gia Fleur appeared downcast as she stepped out alone in Melbourne following a string of tense episodes that have left fans divided.
The blonde reality star, 36, cut a sombre figure as she emerged from a building clutching her phone, her expression serious as she stared down at the screen.
Dressed in a sharp oversized black blazer layered over a simple black top, Gia paired the tailored look with high-waisted cream trousers that skimmed her frame.
She completed the chic ensemble with towering black pointed heels featuring a flash of red on the sole, adding a glamorous edge to the otherwise corporate-inspired outfit.
Her long blonde hair was styled in loose waves that fell around her shoulders, while her makeup appeared natural and understated, with bronzed tones and a nude lip.

The blonde reality star cut a sombre figure as she emerged from a building clutching her phone, her expression serious as she took a phone call
Gia was seen carrying a Coles paper shopping bag in one hand and her phone in the other, keys dangling from her fingers as she walked with purpose.
Later, she was seen taking a phone call in a car park, her face tense as she spoke into the handset, painting a distinctly everyday scene far removed from the glossy TV dinner parties viewers have come to know.
During the fiery task, tensions erupted between the brides as Gia and fellow bride Brook called out others for allegedly ‘lying’ about their perfect relationships.
But Gia later claimed there was more to the story than what viewers saw.
‘Off camera, Stella made a few comments to me,’ she alleged.
‘She – not flirted – but she said a couple of things to Scott. Like she said, Scott has a nice a**e. She said that he’s husband material.
‘And she was being flirty with Scott, and I was like, “get out of here”.’

Despite the claims, there has been no suggestion on the show that Stella has any romantic interest in Scott. In fact, she ranked him fourth in the controversial photo ranking challenge.
Gia has insisted that she and Brook were simply frustrated by what they saw as inauthentic behaviour.
‘People were playing it really safe, and I think Brook and I were just getting over it to be honest,’ she said.
She later admitted that, upon reflection, she was ‘not that proud’ of how she conducted herself during the challenge, conceding it was ‘not the best episode’ for the pair.
The drama follows an earlier explosive dinner party where Gia clashed with fellow bride Bec Zacharia in a fiery showdown over their respective sex lives.
At the table, Gia proudly declared that she and Scott had an ‘instant connection’ and waited until day four before sleeping together.
‘We tried to hold off but we couldn’t! I feel like I have known him for a year,’ she told the group.
The admission did not sit well with Bec, whose husband Danny Hewitt had admitted he was struggling to feel sexual chemistry.
The outing comes after Gia accused co-star Stella Mickunaite of being ‘flirty’ with her husband Scott off-camera following Wednesday night’s chaotic Red Flag, Green Flag challenge
‘Shut up! She feels like her relationship is so good right now and she is in this dream place,’ Bec vented to producers.
The tension escalated into a one-upmanship battle over honeymoons, with Bec boasting about a week in Fiji while Gia and Scott revealed they had travelled to Townsville.
‘Gia and Scott went to Townsville… Not Fiji! I’m sure they had a nice time though,’ Bec quipped.
A furious Gia later branded her rival ‘rude’, insisting Townsville had been ‘lovely’.
Bec has since denied rumours she made a slur about Gia at a hen’s night, telling Daily Mail that such a comment would never have been cut if it had occurred.
