In a post shared by the high-profile socialite, the pair were seen dressed to the nines while Ms Bishop, 66, rested her arm around Ms Aitken's shoulder.
Ms Aitken, 42, dazzled in a black long-sleeved mini dress, accesorising with black patent heels and a gorgeous jewelled necklace.
'What a wonderful night supporting the phenomenal @sydneydanceco,' Ms Aitken captioned the photo.
Ms Bishop, for her part, also shared intimate moments from the event.
The former Australian foreign minister posted several snaps from the red carpet, looking elegant in a grey fitted dress and pearl drop earrings.

'Glittering evening showcasing the best of Australian contemporary dance @sydneydanceco,' she wrote.
The pair's sighting comes after Ms Aitken found herself at the centre of a high-profile split in December after it emerged her husband of 20 years was having an affair with her best friend.
Funds manager Charlie Aitken, 48, announced he'd separated from Ms Aitken and moved on with her younger friend Hollie Nasser.
The move sent shockwaves through their tight-knit eastern suburbs circles, particularly since Ms Nasser, 36, was also married to Mr Aitken's business partner, Christopher Nasser.

'The truth is that despite the support of friends and family I have not coped well with the deeply hurtful lies, gossip and innuendo that has surrounded the breakdown of my relationship,' Ms Aitken said in a statement in early December.
She announced she would be 'taking a break from social media' and public life while she and her family adjusted to the separation and her estranged husband's new relationship.
'I had attempted to put on a brave face and tried to manage my feelings and well-being despite the fact I have not had any control over the reasons for my sorrow,' she added.
Ms Aitken later shared a text message she'd received from Ms Nasser on Instagram, in which her former friend accused her of 'playing the victim' and blamed her for 'ruining her marriage'.
