Julia Fox can never wear clothes that are just clothes. Remember when she famously turned her dry cleaning into a side-boob baring top? She's famously worn a dress made entirely from hair as well as shoes fashioned from hair extensions, a birdcage as a corset plus chain link fencing as a top. Even when she does stick to traditional garments, she's known to ignore their intended purpose, like when she donned a maxi skirt made entirely of layered men's boxers.
It's multi-purpose fashion. Or make that ‘masquerading fashion.’ Because even if Julia is the only one repping the look, it still counts as a trend. And you never know, it may catch on. Especially her latest ensemble, which is actually very wearable in an unprecedented move for the actress, model and author.
Attending the premiere of Camila Mendes' new film Idiotka in Texas last night [Wednesday 12 March], Julia stepped onto the red carpet wearing a black strapless gown with SO many cut-outs.
But far from your typical red carpet naked dress, Julia's design was actually constructed from at least seven blazers that had been sewn together. The jacket sleeves were wrapped around her body and tied together in a knot all down her front, the cuffs creating a tassel effect. A large cut-out was created under each set of knotted sleeves, two of which were strategically positioned over her bust and waist.
With so many cut-outs, it's hardly surprising the dress did give a flash of the nude lacy knickers Julia wore underneath. She skipped on all accessories, forgoing even earrings. Black heeled pumps with an exaggerated pointed toe completed the look.
