Actress and model Julia Fox has been in the spotlight recently for her daring fashion looks and dates with new superstar partner Kanye West. But who is the star, and how did she make it to fame? Voir delves into the life and career of Julia Fox.
Fox was born in Milan in 1990, where she lived for six years before moving to New York. Growing up in two fashion capitals, it’s no surprise Julia has made recent headlines for her outlandish style.
The 31- year old actress first made the spotlight in 2019 for her debut role in comedy/ drama Uncut Gems, where she played the love interest and mistress of the main character Howard Ratner (played by Adam Sandler). The star made a name for herself straight away, receiving breakthrough actor nominations for her impressive portrayal of the bitter-sweet reality of dating a wealthy gangster.
Not only is the star a talented actress, but she is also steadily becoming a fashion icon. Recently, Fox was in the limelight for her dauntless, femme-fatale ensemble of ultra low-rise leather pants, leather cropped tee, and leather gloves. She rocked the fierce look whilst attending dinner at LA hotspot ‘Delilah’ with her beau West and singer Madonna. The dinner soon took a turn, becoming more about raunchy photos than food, with Fox saying;
“I wasn’t obsessed with the Caesar salad. How could you be obsessed with a Caesar salad when you’re sitting next to fucking Madonna?“
Last week, at the Kenzo fashion show Julia confirmed that cone bras are in this season. She wore a double denim cone bra with a daring ultra-black shadow that matched the star’s dominatrix inspired style. This was also the red carpet debut for her and Kanye as a couple, with their ship name ‘Juliye’ being adopted.
The couple then went on to attend the Schiaparelli SS22 Haute Couture fashion show, wearing all-black leather outfits that perfectly intertwined with each others. Julia’s makeup was just as eye-catching as her outfit, with a graphic, smudged intense black cat eye designed by none other than Pat McGrath.
It’s not surprising the actress knows how to make a bold fashion statement after Kanye was rumoured to have recently gifted his new girlfriend an entire wardrobe of Diesel attire. But the credit for the fearless fashion style of Fox can’t all go to Ye.
After working in the fashion industry before her rise to fame, it’s safe to say Julia knows a thing or two about how to dress. Before her acting days, Julia owned a women’s knitwear line ‘Franziska Fox’, with friend Briana Andalore in 2014. She created a collection that she described as ‘unafraid’ – a characteristic her fashion sense still portrays. She also dabbles in modelling, having featured as a model in campaigns for Diesel, Coach New York and Valentino, demonstrating Fox’s clear passion for fashion from her early years.
With a wicked style, famous boyfriend, and rumours the star may play Madonna in her upcoming biopic, we will likely be seeing a lot more of Fox in months to come.
