Premier Gladys Berejiklian has followed in the footsteps of former Prime Minister Julia Gillard and posed for a fashion spread in The Australian Women's Weekly.
Unlike Gillard and that infamous knitted kangaroo cover, the Premier ensured the props were kept to a minimum and, like her federal Liberal colleague Julie Bishop, provided creative and styling assistance on the shoot.

Berejiklian chose to wear a black dress by her close friend Carla Zampatti in the shot obtained by Fairfax Media. She also turned down a Giorgio Armani ensemble that had been borrowed for the shoot, instead preferring to be photographed in her own pink jacket bought from fast-fashion chain Zara.
The new Premier arrived on set with "a swag of clothes", including a yellow Country Road dress.

"This is my lucky dress. I bought it on sale," she told the magazine.
The Premier was interviewed for the corresponding feature twice and opens up about her father, her relatives in war-torn Aleppo and the decision to remain childless, an issue that is framed as her "life choice".

"I've never made a conscious decision to choose work over other considerations. It's just the way it's happened in my life and I'm very happy with where I am," she said.
The Australian Women's Weekly's editor-in-chief Kim Doherty appears to be following in the footsteps of her predecessor Helen McCabe by profiling politicians.
"Although we are a national magazine, we chose to profile Gladys because she is only the 10th female state government leader ever and the second in NSW. We are fierce supporters of all women, whatever their politics," Doherty told Fairfax Media.
"Gladys has a classic Australian story to tell. In these days of division over immigration, she is an inspiring success story. As she told us, she only spoke Armenian until the age of five."
The story will appear in the new issue of The Australian Women's Weekly, on stands on Thursday.
