In the past month alone, we’ve seen Julia Fox is various degrees of costume; there were the frilled panties atop of the pants, the wedding dress complete with a veil, and all of the near-naked looks the actress and author served on the streets of Milan during Fashion Week. But to be in London and to wear a corset with a print of Princess Diana’s face on it is a new level.
Fox teamed the interesting bodice with a lowly-slung, pleated white lace skirt, attached to the body with a white studded belt and silver hooks. She accessorised with a pair of white cowboy boots, a worn handbag with the British flag emblazoned on it, and semi bouffant with white bows and a piece-y fringe.
The 33-year-old Uncut Gems star is on the promotional trail for her new book Down The Drain. In the brutally honest memoir, Fox discusses sex, sugar daddies, addiction, abuse, survival and her relationship with Kanye West whereby she claims the rapper offered her a breast augmentation and supervised her wardrobe.
Overnight, Fox’s interview with Drew Barrymore aired where the former says she’s swearing off men for a while.
“I’m happy, everything’s fine. Why would I want to throw anything in the mix that will mess up my feng shui?” Fox told Barrymore during an episode of The Drew Barrymore Show. “It would need to be someone who also has kids so they understand they can never come first. That’s a big one. Also, it would have be someone who was OK with seeing me once a week for a two-hour window. Also, they [need to] have a driving force in their life that isn’t me. I can’t be the centre of someone’s world… and have their world revolve around me. I tend to get into these types of relationships and it just never ends well.”
I’ve published it before and I’ll publish it again: I envy Fox’s sheer confidence to dress however, and say whatever, she da*n well pleases. What a liberating feeling it must be to reach a place where you have no inhibitions.
“I think one of the things I appreciate with you is you’re not afraid of the response. How?” Barrymore asked Fox.
“Because I know I’ll be on the right side of history,” responded Fox. “And maybe people are just too close-minded to see that now. But I think, ‘Why do we all have to dress the same? Why do we have to do our makeup the same way?’ Why do we have to dim our light to make other people comfortable?
“If you’re uncomfortable with me wearing an outfit like that, you need to ask yourself, ‘What is it about me that intimidates you?’ And maybe instead of just being jealous, you should try being more like me.”
