Julie Bishop and partner David Panton are the ultimate glamour couple at an Australian Open brunch

Julie Bishop and her longtime partner David Panton made the ultimate glamour couple at the AO Inspirational Series Brunch in Melbourne on Thursday.

The 62-year-old former Minister for Foreign Affairs looked chic in a white belted shirt-dress at the Australian Open event.

She paired her dress with a pair of Christian Louboutin studded silver platform sandals, which retail for AU$1125. 

It was a good choice for the former Foreign Minister, who is just as revered for her trailblazing career as she is for her designer wardrobe.

Julie was seen meeting with US Vogue editor Anna Wintour at the brunch, who only on Wednesday admitted she’s a fan of the shoes in a video for Vogue magazine. 

When asked if she approved of platform heels, the 69-year-old fashion maven responded: ‘Absolutely, yes.’

And in an interview with Brisbane Times on Wednesday, Anna admitted she had been keeping a close eye on people’s fashion choices during her visit to Australia for the tennis.

‘I always like to walk in the street and see what people are wearing,’ she told the publication. 

‘It’s been an interesting mix of styles but… [Australia is] quite close to California – it’s quite relaxed and having fun with fashion, not taking it too seriously. I haven’t seen too many suits.’
