Julie Bishop appeared to be making herself known in the world of modelling on Wednesday as she was rubbed shoulders with US supermodel Tyra Banks.
The former Minister of Foreign Affairs, 68, who has earned the moniker Minister of Fashion since her retirement from politics, shared snaps of their outing to Instagram.
Posing up a storm as she cuddled close to the American star, 51, the new friends donned very fashionable looks as they enjoyed a meal together at Nobu in Sydney.
‘The fabulous Tyra Banks,’ the ex-politician captioned her reel of photos, which saw Julie slipping into a Zimmermann wrap dress for the occasion.
The chiffon frock flowed down her body in a muted black colour with white polka dots and long sheer sleeves.
Julie paired the piece with a basic set of black kitten heels and dangling gold earrings as she styled her short blonde locks into their usual coif.

Meanwhile, model Tyra opted for a more casual look, slipping into a pair of blue jeans with a black blazer over top.
She covered up her long brunette tresses with a stylish bandanna as she rocked a bright smile while wrapping her arm around Julie.
The former America’s Next Top Model host has been living the Aussie life for the last 18 months as she jumps between her home in Los Angeles and Sydney.
For over a year now, Tyra has been preparing to launch her new ice cream store chain Smize & Dream.
Her outing with Julie came just hours after the retired politician poured her slender frame into several designer pieces for an upmarket photoshoot on Wednesday.
She looked to be completely in her element as she stepped out in a floor-length Zimmermann gown and posed beside a tree.
The one-time deputy leader of the Liberal Party wore a full face of dramatic makeup for the assignment to make the most of her striking facial features.
Julie looked at ease as she stood hand on hip, posing up a storm, while crew looked on in amazement as her inner model came to life.

Later in the day, Julie worked her best angles yet again in a beige leather-look mini trench that showcased her trim pins.
The statement piece featured voluminous sleeves cuffed for dramatic effect and was belted at the waist.
Between takes, Julie was seen enjoying a takeaway beverage in the sweltering Sydney heat.
In her final look, the home-grown fashionista looked radiant in red in a chic suit.
The bold design appeared to be by designer Camilla Franks and featured a relaxed shirt that featured a tie detail paired with matching pants.
Julie appeared in her element on the day, and she had every reason to smile.
She is currently dating Stephen Gray, who she ‘soft-launched’ on her social media account in July 2023.
Little is known about Stephen, whose Instagram account is private with only 60 followers.
