Skye Wheatley cut a sombre figure as she arrived at Southport Magistrates Court on Monday to face a mid-range drink-driving charge.
The former Big Brother Australia star, 32, appeared subdued as she walked towards the Gold Coast courthouse accompanied by another woman.
Skye shielded her eyes behind narrow black sunglasses and repeatedly looked down at her mobile phone as she made her way inside.
The mother-of-two dressed conservatively for the appearance in an oversized pale-grey blazer and matching wide-leg trousers, teamed with a fitted white top.
She completed her courtroom ensemble with clear open-toed heels, delicate gold jewellery and a slouchy beige shoulder bag.
Her blonde hair was swept into a neat bun and secured with a large claw clip, with several strands left loose around her face.

Wheatley's appearance came after she broke her silence over the charge in an exclusive interview with Daily Mail, admitting she was 'deeply disappointed' in herself.
She is accused of recording a blood-alcohol reading of 0.119 on Saturday after police approached her while she was parked outside a McDonald's restaurant.
Wheatley said she had remained at the location for approximately four hours in an attempt to sober up before a passer-by contacted police.
While she believed the circumstances were important in explaining what happened, the influencer insisted she was not offering them as an excuse.
'I made a really poor decision and I'm deeply disappointed in myself,' Wheatley said.
