Julie Bishop surprises fans as she ditches her signature pixie hairstyle

The former Minister for Foreign Affairs has changed up her signature look for 2021.

Julie Bishop has grown out her iconic, blonde pixie hairstyle.

The 64-year-old shared photos of her longer locks to Instagram on Monday.

Julie surprised fans with the debut of her longer bob, as she had long been known for her tidy, shorter haircut.

‘Presiding at virtual grand graduation ceremony for the remarkable class of 2020,’ she captioned a series of photos during her virtual appearance for Australian National University graduations via video link.

Her shoulder-length blonde locks were styled in a sleek straight style.

Julie was flooded with messages from fans complimenting her new hair, which she responded to with happy emojis.

‘Love your hair like this’, ‘love the bob’ and ‘your hair is goals!’ were just some of the nice messages left for Julie to read.

Two weeks ago, Julie captioned a photo of her new look: ‘long hair don’t care.’ 

Throughout her career, Julie’s fashion-forward ensembles have often attracted just as many headlines as her political endeavours. 

Becoming an unexpected fashion icon over the years, Julie is known for her designer frocks, flashy heels, crisp blazers and pricey handbags.

Speaking to The Sun-Herald last year, Julie revealed the surprising fashion advice she was once given by American Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.

Julie said after meeting the British-American journalist, 71, in 2019, she now can’t live without sneakers.

Elsewhere in the interview, the former deputy leader of the Liberal Party revealed 

Julie said she had lived in ‘Armani, Louis Vuitton and Isabel Marant sneakers’ amid the start of the coronavirus pandemic, whereas previously she would wear ‘Aquazzura black stiletto pumps’.
