Perhaps she had had second thoughts after seeing pictures of herself in the ridiculous all-in-one burkini-style swimming costume. Or maybe a pal had given her some friendly fashion advice.
Whatever the reason, voluptuous Domestic Goddess Nigella Lawson returned to Australia's Bondi Beach wearing considerably less than the head-to-toe get-up she sported the day before.
But it was still markedly conservative for the 51-year-old's usual standards.
For the TV cook - known for showing of her curves in low-cut and tight-fitting outfits - it seemed like an odd choice to opt for a complete cover-up when she splashed around in the sea with a companion on Monday.
Her outfit was compared to a burkini - a three-piece swimsuit designed to preserve the modesty of Muslim women - with a baseball cap beneath the hood.
Yesterday, however, she appeared to have ditched the all-in-one and instead wore a voluminous black sundress - a frumpy far cry from the usual glamour associated with one of the country's sexiest television stars.
According to sources, Nigella was concerned about being exposed to the late-summer Sydney sun. She seemed to reinforce this sentiment on her second consecutive day on the beach, by resting in the shade and using a wide-brimmed sun hat to protect her from the sun's rays.
The mother-of-three is currently down under to film a new series of MasterChef, on which she will be making a guest appearance alongside Rick Stein and Heston Blumenthal.
She often opts for racy outfits during her cookery shows and is renowned for her flirtatious manner of presenting, earning her the moniker of 'queen of food porn'.
Despite never training as a chef, she has a value of £7million, selling more than 3million cookery books worldwide.
Miss Lawson and her second husband, advertising guru and art collector Charles Saatchi, 67, moved into a seven-bedroom £12million home in Chelsea with underground pool, just before Christmas.
The kitchen alone cost £500,000, but will double as a TV studio.
