Julie Bishop mocked for her elaborate outfit at the King’s Coronation as her designer ensemble is compared to a toilet dolly and hazmat suit: ‘What the hell is she wearing?’
Julie Bishop has attracted criticism the elaborate designer ensemble she wore to the Coronation of King Charles III on Saturday.
The former Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs looked stunning in a fitted beige dress with floral motifs and matching hat, which towered on her head.
Not everyone was impressed, with several viewers watching the ceremony at home comparing her to a ‘toilet dolly’ – a type of decorative doll that was popularly used as a toilet roll holder in the 1970s.
‘Julie Bishop dressed as a toilet dolly. Pomp now getting underway’ joked one person on Twitter.
‘WTF why did Julie Bishop marry Commander Lawrence in The Handmaids Tale. Mrs Putnum is a dead ringer but doesn’t dress like a toilet paper holder’ another said.

‘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’.
‘OMG! What the hell has Julie Bishop wearing! Mutton dressed as lamb!’ said yet another.
Others liked the look, with one writing: ‘Julie Bishop at the coronation looking riveting… with a touch of welding a bit of panel beating and some spray painting!’
