Last week, Julie, who has earned the title of ‘Fashion Minister’ since retiring from politics, shared photos of her dinner with Tyra on Instagram.
In the snaps, Julie got close to the American star as they both showed off stylish outfits while enjoying a meal together at Nobu in Sydney.
‘The fabulous Tyra Banks’, the former politician titled her photo reel.
Julie donned an elegant Zimmermann wrap dress for the occasion.
The chiffon dress fell down her body in a muted black color with white polka dots and long sheer sleeves.
Julie paired the piece with a basic set of black heels and dangling gold earrings while she styled her short blonde locks into her usual coif.
Meanwhile, model Tyra opted for a more casual look, donning a pair of blue jeans layered with a black cuffed jacket.
She covered her long brunette tresses with a chic floral-print scarf while sporting a bright smile as she put her arm around Julie.

The American star, 51, revealed on Monday on The Kyle and Jackie O show that she met the former foreign minister, 68, through a mutual friend.

‘This woman is like my friend from home. She cares about people, she’s warm, she’s funny, we were taking pictures. “She’s fun and sweet,” Tyra said.
The former America’s Next Top Model host has been living the Australian life for the past 18 months as she bounces between her home in Los Angeles and Sydney.
For more than a year now, Tyra has been preparing to launch her new ice cream chain Smize & Dream.
He recently revealed how he managed to blend in with the locals.
“We’ll have breakfast at the mall and then go to the Hoyts movie theater,” Tyra said. The daily telegraph.
“We’ll have ice cream at the cinema, watch a movie and then maybe get a foot massage.” Then we’ll have some lunch… Then we’ll go to Target or Kmart.’
Tyra, who will open her first Smize & Dream store in Darling Harbor mid-year, went on to say she loves Australian Kmart.
Despite walking the runways for luxury fashion houses like Saint Laurent, Chanel and Dior, the supermodel said she thinks Kmart Down Under is “chic.”
She added that after a little shopping, she and her family will go shopping.
“We’ll do Coles, Woolies, Harris Farm, whatever, so it’s a whole day in the shopping center and we don’t do that in America,” he said.
Tyra explained that “mall” culture in America is a dying pastime because it’s simply about buying what you “want” instead of what you “need.”
