Julia Fox is no stranger to *unique* fashion choices. From her heeled Crocs to a dress made entirely of hair, the 34-year-old has become just as famous for her 'fits as her work as an actor and model. Perhaps then, her latest look should come as no surprise...

Appearing in a video for T Magazine on Instagram, Julia gives a class on 'how to be a freak'. In said video, she wears a silky black headscarf and ribbed black corset — so far, so normal?

Layered over the top of the corset, however, is criss cross chaining — the exact kind you'd use for a fence — with silver padlocks attached. While you might think that sounds hella uncomfortable, it appears the, err, fencing, has been form-fitted to Julia's body, following her curves before ending at the hips.

"Fence corset is everything," one person said in the comments section of the iconic look, with another writing: "This outfit is sooo good." A third agreed, adding: "THE CORSET !!!! Julia, I love you."

Given the context of the video — a lesson on freakishness — Julia's outfit is pretty spot on. "My definition of a freak is someone that is unapologetically themselves," she says in the clip. "They've already figured out that they're different, but they're no longer trying to hide it."

Julia even attributes being a freak, in part, to fashion. "A lot of the time, it really does start with clothes," she continues, as a montage of some of her most 'out there' looks appears on screen. "Clothes are signalling into the world who we are — some people won't get it, but someone else [will]."

We guess 2025 is the year of the freak, and we're so here for it.
