Disgraced ex-NY Governor Andrew Cuomo's former girlfriend Sandra Lee made a very glamorous return to the Big Apple for a gala held among a famed set of ruins.
On Thursday the 55-year-old professional chef posted sultry selfies in a glamourous, low-cut golden gown she wore to attend the 60th Anniversary of The White House Historical Association Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
She snapped herself admiring the Upper East Side museum's famed Temple of Dendur, which was originally built in Egypt in 10BC and has since been reconstructed.
Lee, who now lives in Malibu, returned to the Empire State - where she once resided with Cuomo - after months of being away.
Since she's been gone from New York since Cuomo, her former boyfriend of 14 years, was forced to resign as governor after mounting allegations of sexual harassment while in office.

Lee and Cuomo never got engaged during their 14 years together. The relationship is said to have ended when Cuomo allegedly cheated on her. The former Food Network star was previously married to former KB Home CEO Bruce Karatz from 2001 to 2005.
Lee posted multiple snaps of her night out on the town as she donned a vintage bejeweled Bob Macki couture dress, an Oscar De La Renta clutch and a Christian Dior Ruby & Art Glass necklace, Fox News reported.
On her Instagram she said she had an 'amazing night' and called the venue 'fun and elegant,' as she posted pictures of the gala's décor and installments.
Lee was even able to snap a selfie with first lady Jill Biden, who presented her with the City of Hope, Spirit of Life Award back in 2016.
The gala was meant to celebrate the White House's support of educational projects.
Missing in action was her new fiancé Ben Youcef, 42, who she got engaged to this summer in France.
In August, around the same time Cuomo's political career was imploding, Lee accepted Youcef's proposal during a romantic Paris break.
