Julie Bishop has been known to flaunt her glorious shoe collection and wardrobe when she was in parliament, and even now has proven she still knows how to strut her stuff for the cameras.

The former Minister for foreign affairs appeared in front of cameras on Thursday evening, looking stunning and loved up with her partner of five-years David Panton, as they attended the 2019 GQ Men of the Year Awards in Sydney.

Bishop, 63, made way on the carpet in an ankle length gown with a chic sheer material on the sleeves and bodice.

Adding a 50’s element to her outfit, the former politician was fitted in a fit-and-flare styled gown for the fancy evening – a dress made by Australians design house Paolo Sebastian.  

Featuring delicate floral detailing and a cinched waist, Bishop looked cool and collected in her fashion choice.  

What made the look however was her bejeweled red pumps and dazzling earrings.  

Her chic, blonde hairdo was styled off her flawless visage in voluminous waves.  

Ms Bishop went for a dolled up makeup-full night, with loud peachy cheeks, a subdued, nude glossy lip and dramatic eye makeup.  

Meanwhile, her partner David cut a suave figure in a stylish black tuxedo with a dapper bow tie.  

The former Member of Parliament for Curtin gave a rare insight into her life and long-distance romance with partner David Panton back in August.  

While Ms Bishop is settled into life in Western Australia’s capital, Perth, her winemaker partner relishes his time in the Sydney beachside suburb of Manly.  

Speaking to The Sydney Morning Herald she said: “I think long-distance relationships can be a lot of fun.”

“[David and I] meet constantly, travel together and travel overseas to keep it fresh”.

The glamorous power couple first went public back in 2014.
