Julie Bishop has announced her latest career move after leaving politics in 2019.
The former federal foreign minister, 67, has set up her own “boutique consultancy” offering personal services in everything from business development to social media influencing.
Her recently launched website bills herself as a brand ambassador and reads: 'Julie has been dubbed Australia's Minister for Fashion – she is known for her love of fitness and fashion, and works with a few select brands she knows and loves . '
On the business side, Bishop says she is “focused on providing strategic advice to boards and management on complex international and domestic business challenges.”
She currently offers herself public speaking and advocacy, 'tailored analysis of geopolitical and geostrategic developments', business development and much more.

Indeed, Bishop has become quite the style influencer since leaving politics.
In addition to his work in the business and political circuits, the 67-year-old has been spotted at events for Australian Fashion Week and Louis Vuitton.

Bishop also said her style inspiration was Amal Clooney, the wife of Hollywood superstar George Clooney.
'I love what she wears and when she wears it. She's fantastic,” she raved about the glamorous lawyer.
In April, she appeared to be enjoying her new career as a social media influencer by advertising her stay at the five-star Gansevoort Meatpacking hotel in New York City – which costs up to $2,814 per night.
Her website advertises herself as a brand ambassador and reads: 'Julie is often referred to as Australia's Minister for Fashion – she is known for her love of fitness and fashion, and works with a few select brands she knows and loves.'
After checking into the hotel, she said, “So my first stop at Gansevoort is the coffee shop and they make me a cappuccino with almond milk.”
“#Giftedstay,” she captioned the video, also tagging Luxury Escapes.
Julie then attended an Anzac Day morning service in New York, where she addressed the crowd in black trousers and a long white designer coat.
The retired liberal politician accessorized her ensemble with Louis Vuitton earrings, which retail for $37,000, and an $800 scarf.
