It's never a dull day when Julia Fox is out and about. The Italian-American model and actress has become renowned for her *seriously* experimental personal style in recent years, having rocked everything from a literal birdcage (with matching crow clutch, obvs) and two-piece set made out of watches, to nothing but a teeeeeny metal body chain on the streets of NYC.

So whenever new street style pics of her come in, we just know they're going to be good. Well, we're delighted to announce that Julia Fox has only gone and done it again, styling herself in a suitably bizarre but brilliant 'fit of head-to-toe dark brown leather.

Monochrome dressing is nothing new, of course, but because it's Julia, there's obvs a twist. Namely, in the form of her XL statement leather jacket that comes with in-built muscles. Yep, really. See for yourselves:

It's giving The Hulk but with a high-fashion twist. Now there's a sentence we never thought we'd write... Julia paired her biker jacket with built-in pecks with a pair of teeeny tiny micro shorts in the same dark brown leather, plus matching gloves, knee-high boots and a handbag.

And all this, to attend her own book signing at a Barnes & Noble in New York – you can't get more iconic than that.

Down the Drain

It's little wonder, then, that Julia's final accessory to complete the outfit was a copy of her just-released memoir, entitled Down The Drain, which chronicles her dramatic life and rise to global fame.
