Ever since Julia Fox was propelled to international fame specifically following her iconic interview meme, where she confirmed being “Josh Safdie’s muse”, and rising above infamy for being Kanye West’s ex-girlfriend, the 33-year-old has become one of the most divisive fashion icons.

The Italian-American actress gained momentum in the public eye after making her debut performance in the 2019 film Uncut Gems, for which she was nominated for the Breakthrough Actor Award at the 2019 Gotham Awards, playing Julia De Fiore, alongside Adam Sandler.

Kanye and Julia broke up a few months after dating, launching the first of many notable moments where the model was repeatedly used as a meme and trending TikTok sounds. 

But according to Harper’s Bazaar, the mom-of-one has now evolved to become a personality known for having the most polarizing personal styles of any modern celebrity.

In fact, Julia appears to have arguably become one of this generation’s most divisive fashion icons, displaying some outfits more eye-catching than others.

As the starlet has been busy with her press tour for her tell-all memoir, Down the Drain, Julia has taken the paparazzi by storm throughout this entire month, earning a mention on CNN’s Look of the Week last week (October 19).

Julia was photographed stepping out in London wearing an actual plastic dry-cleaning bag, suspended with a loop around her neck resembling a halter-style dress.

Externally, the bag displayed the logo of Figura Services, an innovative UK-based fashion brand while inside, a pristine white button-down shirt hung neatly on a wire hanger.

The attire itself was reportedly fresh from the brand’s Autumn-Winter 2023 runway collection, debuting at London Fashion Week earlier this season.

The fashionista complemented the attire pouch with what seemed to be elastic-waist shorts, stiletto knee-high boots, and a well-defined cream-colored handbag.

Morgan Fargo, a freelance beauty and wellness editor, wrote in Cosmopolitan that Julia’s “sinister-looking handbag” was “undeniably artistic” and the entire look was “non-confirming".

She wrote: “Fox has repeatedly expressed a love for fashion that extends beyond just looking nice.

“In my very humble opinion, the best thing about Fox, outside of her powerful self-love mantras and no-BS attitude, is that she makes a moment out of anything. That’s really fun.”

Last month, the author made a striking entrance at the New York premiere of her movie Something You Said Last Night in a bold outfit that included a revealing ribbed metal corset, a flowing black skirt, and see-through opera gloves.

Yet one delightfully eccentric element in her attire appeared to convey Julia’s desire for unrestrained freedom: her choice of handbag.

The handbag, designed in the likeness of a crow or raven, dangled alongside her attire inspired by a cage theme.

Yeah, that’s not a “dress.” It’s a craft project. (At least she has eyebrows here! I don’t understand removing ‘em; not only does it look incredibly weird, but rows keep stuff from falling into your eyes.)

I can't help thinking that the outfits are to draw attention but that attention must not be on her face.
