King’s coronation: Julie Bishop makes it into fashion bible WWD
Julie Bishop makes fashion bible WWD after attending the king’s coronation in a Zimmermann gown – but got roasted for her ‘ridiculous’ hat
Former Foreign Secretary Julie Bishop impressed in an extravagant Zimmermann ensemble at the coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey on Saturday.
The 66-year-old politician wore a cream two-piece featuring hand-applied 3D flowers with a matching cream fascinator.
Paired with a tiny Lady Dior handbag and slingback Dior heels, she was so fashionable she ended up in the “fashion bible” Women’s Wear Daily.
In the midst of a crowd of international royals, heads of state, celebrities and the British Royal Family, Ms. Bishop’s stunning outfit stood out.
The fashion icon shared the happy news on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday and reposted the WWD article in which she was featured.

Zimmermann does it again. WWD, the Bible of Fashion,” she captioned the post.
Despite being listed as a luminary in coronation fashion alongside Pippa Middleton and actress Emma Thompson, not everyone was a fan of her looks.
Ms Bishop was criticized on Twitter for the extended designer ensemble, with several viewers watching the ceremony at home and comparing her to a ‘toilet doll’.

Julie Bishop dressed as a toilet doll. Pumpkin is getting going now,” joked one.
A toilet doll is a type of decorative doll that can be used as a toilet roll holder and was popular in the 1970s.
“WTF why did Julie Bishop marry Commander Lawrence in The Handmaids Tale? Ms Putnam is a dead ringer but doesn’t dress like a toilet roll holder,” another tweeted.
“Julie Bishop’s stylist is as effective as Morrison’s empathy coach,” someone else chimed in, while another said the outfit looked like a “hazmat suit.”
