Julie Bishop, 67, unveils a very daring new hairstyle and hits back at criticism that Aussies aren't exactly impressed
Julie Bishop has unveiled a dramatic hair transformation, but some of her fans are not impressed with the new look.
On Wednesday, the former foreign minister, 67, proudly showed off her choppy new hairstyle on Instagram as she dined with two friends at Chiswick restaurant in Sydney's Woollahra.
Looking a complete departure from her usual polished and shiny fringed bob, Julie's new platinum locks completely cover her forehead after being cut into voluminous eighties-style bangs.
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.
Despite the criticism, other fans praised her new look, leaving positive comments about both her hair and the chic white shirt dress from Mara Collective.
“Woosssh, I love the new haircut!” wrote one, while another said: 'Love the new messy book hairstyle.'
