Julie Bishop never misses an opportunity to flaunt her passion for fashion.
The former Minister of Foreign Affairs made a glamorous appearance at the National Designer Awards x David Jones at the Melbourne Fashion Festival.
The 68-year-old stunned in a black gown with lace cutouts at the shoulders and bust that showed off some skin.
The form-fitting maxi frock also featured crochet accents around the hem as well as a bold floral applique.
She added a pair of black, pointed heels to the ensemble and wore a smattering of accessories including pearl drop earrings.
For makeup, Julie chose a peachy toned palette with a soft pink lipstick and lots of eye liner.

The former politician is currently dating Stephen Gray, who she ‘soft-launched’ on her social media account in July 2023.
Bishop put on a tender display with her boyfriend in November as they made their way through Sydney Airport.
It looked to be an exciting day out for the couple, who went public with their relationship in 2023.
Little is known about Mr Gray, whose Instagram account is private with only 60 followers.
They appear to have been an item for more than a year after she ‘soft-launched’ him on her social media accounts in July 2023.
Last year, they travelled to South Australia for a ‘fabulous Outback adventure’.
In a video shared to her Instagram page, Bishop put together a montage of images and video clips from their holiday and tagged her partner.
The news of her new romance came two years after David Panton, 62, allegedly dumped Ms Bishop over dinner in Sydney in July 2022, putting an end to their eight-year relationship.

During their partnership, Bishop took Panton to the United Nations to meet world leaders, Buckingham Palace to hobnob with British royalty and to the White House where he met Donald Trump.
The pair first stepped out publicly in 2014.
They were pictured at countless celebrity events over the years including the 2018 wedding of Karl Stefanovic and Jasmine Yarbrough.
Bishop was understood to have been ‘blindsided’ by the sudden breakdown of her relationship, sources close to the former politician said.
It comes after Julie was spotted rubbing shoulders with supermodel Tyra Banks.
The legendary catwalk model and TV star has been living in Sydney’s eastern suburbs for some time.
The pair appeared to be very chummy when they met at restaurant Nobu recently.
