Julie Bishop might have made a name for herself as one of Australia’s most iconic politicians, but these days, the former Foreign Minister is commanding our attention for an entirely different reason.
And yep, it’s all to do with her ridiculously good fashion sense.
This week, Julie has been particularly busy attending various red carpet events in Sydney, which is why we were thrilled to witness what we can only describe as a fashion spectacle – and we’re taking notes from the 63-year-old immediately.

The silver design, which featured pockets (drool!) and a shimmery tweed fabric looked absolutely stunning on the former politician.
Wearing a pair of strappy black heels, Julie officially stole the show on the red carpet – and her rather dashing partner David Panton looked pretty smitten himself.

The well-informed former politician weighed in on the prospect of foreign interference posing an existential threat to Australia.
She insisted that there needed to be stricter measures to ensure the country’s safety from foreign interference – such as a screening process.
“I always found it extraordinary that I as foreign minister had no need for a security clearance, but my staff had to go through the most rigorous security clearances to ensure that I had top level [clearance],” she said, according to The Age.
“But no politician is ever subjected to that.”
