And those watching at home said the dad of three was trying to dress "like he's 18".
The reaction came after Gino joined hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on the ITV show to promote his new venture as an author.
Gino has penned a children's book, Get Cooking with Wiskella, and seems to have chosen a new image to go with it.
Twitter soon lit up with reaction to his makeover.

One tweeted: "Loving Gino’s fancy dress today! 😆 #ThisMorning."
A second said: "Why is Gino dressed like that? Midlife crisis?"
A third joked: "Is that Gino or Bruce Springsteen ?"
Asked a fourth: "Why is Gino who is 43 acting and dressing like he’s 18?"
And a fifth deadpanned: "Gino D'Acampo is on This Morning and appears to be dressed as Keith Richards?"
Even Phil couldn't resist mentioning the youthful look Gino was sporting, with Gino revealing that it was inspired by his recent filming stint in America with Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix.
The cook has been Stateside filming ITV's Gordon, Gino and Fred: The American Roadtrip.
He revealed: "This is what I looked like most of the filming time. I want to grow my hair and it was very hot there so the only solution that I had is that someone sold these bandanas and I wanted to put them on my head so I could keep cool."

Gino also discussed how now sees himself in the "third stage" of his life and plans to return to Sardinia in Italy and breed horses.
"I don't know anything about breeding horses," he admitted. "I will have help from the people who are going to sell them to me but I want to do everything myself."
He continued: "I can not accept someone who is happy to have one life... Life should be lived to the maximum."
