Rebellious Julie Bishop shows off her rugged new haircut as she gives fashion advice on the Today show – after being criticized for her sharp look
She was recently forced to defend her bold new look after she debuted a choppy, rock star-inspired hairstyle on Instagram.
And Julie Bishop had the last laugh on Monday as she defiantly showed off her new style during a glamorous appearance on the Today show.
The former foreign minister, 67, spoke to hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo about the latest news, dazzling in an animal print shirt dress that perfectly matched her wild new hairstyle.
The blonde, who is affectionately known as the Minister of Fashion, also dished out some fashion advice and advised viewers on the benefits of investing in quality garments.
“This season we're focusing squarely on inner investment pieces,” says Julie, ambassador for retail giant David Jones.

“David Jones is passionate about ensuring people can build the foundation for a timeless, classic wardrobe that will take you into autumn, winter and beyond,” she said.
It comes two weeks after Julie clapped back at critics of her new mane.
Earlier this month, Julie uploaded a photo of herself dining at Chiswick restaurant in Sydney's Woollahra with two friends.

Julie's new platinum locks look worlds away from her usual polished and shiny fringed bob, completely covering her forehead after being cut into voluminous eighties-style bangs.

Unfortunately, several of Julie's fans weren't fans of the noticeably different 'do.
“I'm not so sure about the haircut Julie,” one person wrote.

Julie simply replied with a shrug emoji and didn't seem bothered by the critical comment.
Another Instagram user went further, writing: 'Dear Julie Bishop, you always look great but those praising your new haircut are doing you no favors… I apologize in advance BUT the messy look is… well, sloppy! You paid a hairdresser? Hmmm.'
A smart Julie clapped back at the comment, writing: “I like change so I'll change it again someday!” followed by a laughing face emoji and clapping hands.
