The most interesting person on Australian TV

You would think a wardrobe worthy of Iris Apfel and a serious news anchor would not be a match made in heaven.

However Lee Lin Chin is not your average news anchor.

In her 20-year tenure on Australia's SBS World News, she has donned some of the most outrageous outfits seen on such a serious TV segment. 

As on new site reported, the highly regarded reporter has become famous not only for her journalistic talent but also for the weird and wacky outfits she chooses to wear.

Some of these include elaborate collars, a safari-styled suit, a top reminiscent of a blue birdcage, and a silver ruffled collared dress. The sharp-witted fashion guru is also known for her sense of humour on social media, with some of her outfits even having their own Facebook page. 

Chin's 23-year career has seen her look change from a heavy dark bob to a short grey pixie cut, and her round-rimmed glasses have been replaced with rectangular frames.

Her fashion off-screen also has her winning hearts, with one of her red carpet looks including a large black veil, white dress and lace leggings.

On the night she tweeted: "For those asking I'm not nominated tonight. I don't read the news for awards, I do it for the money, fame and babes."

The quirky presenter also tweeted she was "Australia's premiere bad b****", and asked to join American pop singer Taylor Swift's "squad".

This clip showcases the last 20 years of Chin's career.

Chin, we adore you.
