Julie Bishop Dazzles in Diamonds and Designer Gown at Cannes Event

Julie Bishop, long recognized for her fashion sense, recently captivated onlookers at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cannes. The former Australian politician, 70, appeared at the exclusive venue in a blush pink gown by Meraki Official, featuring dramatic transparent sleeves and an elegant silhouette.

Bishop accessorized her ensemble with significant diamond and pearl jewelry from the high-end jeweler Margot McKinney. Her statement pearl necklace was complemented by diamond drop earrings, drawing considerable attention.

She was accompanied by her partner, Stephen Gray, who opted for a classic tuxedo and sunglasses. The couple, who have been together for over a year, appeared publicly affectionate, holding hands as they attended the event.

Bishop and Gray's relationship reportedly began after her split from David Panton in July 2022, ending an eight-year partnership. They made their relationship public on social media in July 2023. The couple has since shared travel experiences, including an Outback adventure in South Australia.

During her past relationship with Panton, Bishop often included him in high-profile events, including introductions to world leaders at the United Nations, visits to Buckingham Palace, and meetings at the White House. The pair were first seen together publicly in 2014 and attended numerous celebrity events over the years.
