Social media goes wild over Julie Bishop's hair transformation
Julie Bishop may be known for her stylish short hair, but the former foreign affairs minister appears to have been growing her locks during the pandemic- and social media users are loving it.
The 64-year-old shared a photo of herself at the virtual graduation ceremony for the Australian National University, where she is chancellor, and her followers were quick to compliment her on the new 'do.
"Your hair is goals," one follower wrote, while another added, "Your hair is looking fab!"

"Love your hair like this," someone else wrote.
"Loving the hair longer," another said, with one user even calling Julie "smoking hot".
In January, Ms Bishop shared a photo of a braided up-do with the caption, "#longhairdontcare ........or do I?"
Richard Wilkins was quick to comment on the snap, saying: "Love that!"
One follower added: "[Definitely] keep the long hair darling."
"Very elegant, it suits you," another said.
"Loving the longer hair! Stunning as always!" someone else said.
When Ms Bishop worked as a politician she was known for her fashion sense and designer clothing.
Last year, she shared her heartache after being separated from her partner due to the coronavirus border restrictions between WA and NSW.
Ms Bishop has been in Perth, while her partner David Panton has been in Sydney.
"The first place I will go is to Sydney to see David," Ms Bishop told The Daily Telegraph in September.
"We FaceTime. It isn’t great but it is all you can do because he can’t get in here (WA) and I can’t go there without having to get an exemption. It is very difficult but I know a lot of families have been separated in this way, it is challenging."
While she spent much of her career travelling, especially while she was Foreign Minister, Ms Bishop doesn't miss working in politics.
She said that while it was a great honour to represent Australia as a member of parliament and as Foreign Minister, she is "loving" life in the private sector.
