Julie Bishop stuns in $265k diamond jewels at exclusive charity 'do
The who's who of Australia's A-list stepped out in the name of charity on Thursday night to attend the Sydney Children's Hospital's swanky Gold Dinner event.
Among the celebs at the Sydney soirée was former foreign minister Julie Bishop, who turned heads in a figure-hugging black gown and a whopping $265,000 worth of diamond jewellery.
The 64-year-old sparkled in French jewellery house Van Cleef & Arpels' white gold and diamond 'Magic Alhambra' necklace ($224k) and matching earrings ($41k). Even when pre-owned, these luxury pieces still cost a pretty penny.
The ex-politician was accompanied by her boyfriend, David Panton, who was equally chic in a black tux. In between posing for photos, Julie took a moment to straighten her beau's bow tie.
The Gold Dinner, which took place in a custom-built perspex structure on the airfield at Sydney airport, raises funds to support mental health research and care at the Sydney Children's Hospital.
