Julia Fox’s Red Carpet Style Proves She Figured Out Her Signature Look Years Ago

When the ball dropped on 2022, it suddenly felt like Julia Fox appeared out of nowhere. All of the sudden, the Italian-born actress went from “that girl in Uncut Gems” to Kanye West’s post-Kim Kardashian girlfriend, and Fox became ubiquitous. Many assumed it would be a flash in the pan, and once she and West broke up, Fox would return to her New York city niche fame, but that hasn’t been the case. With Fox’s no-cares-given attitude and heavy handed eye makeup application, the podcast host has been able to stay in the cultural zeitgeist. These days, Fox has been enjoying fashion-filled strolls through New York, Los Angeles, and various European cities, showing off her unique style, which tends to feature leather, latex, and a whole lot of skin. A scroll through her red carpets of the past, though, proves she solidified that signature style long ago, and has been honing it ever since.
While Fox’s unique leather dress from Danish designer Han Kjøbenhavn and human hair bag by Charlie Le Mindu made quite the splash at the 2022 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, it was the actress’ red carpet interview where she revealed she did her own makeup that went viral.
Fox has never met a low-rise skirt she doesn’t like. Case in point: this look from LaQuan Smith’s fall 2022 ready-to-wear collection, which she wore to a party thrown by the designer and Net-A-Porter in March 2022.
