Earlier this week, the first-ever Golden Bachelorette was spotted filming for her upcoming season.
While arriving on set, Joan stunned in a pair of ankle-length blue jeans and a lowcut white tank top underneath a cropped pink jacket.
As the star was ready for a taping, the TV personality did a quick outfit change into a skintight purple dress.
Her fashion choice showed off her toned arms and legs while showing a small portion of her chest while wearing the cutout dress.

The star also had her blonde hair down and makeup touched to perfection.
The show seemed to be filming a competition as a member of the Chippendales was spotted walking around the set.
Extras were lined around the block with posters ready to cheer on this year's men competing for Joan's heart.
Joan was also spotted with Kaitlynn Bristowe who was on Season 11 of The Bachelorette.

However, halfway through the show, Joan had to leave due to a phone call she received from her daughter.
She took Gerry to speak to him privately right outside the Bachelor Mansion.
Joan said, "I got a text this morning and I think I need to go home and be a mom.
So as much as I don’t want to leave and I don’t want to leave our journey I’ve got to go home and be a parent."
