Julia Fox ‘isn’t famous enough to pull off underwear as outerwear trend – she’s still banking on Kanye West fling’
JULIA Fox continues to try to boost her profile using fashion stunts that show her underwear, a stylist has said.
She claimed the model’s “vulgar” outfits are an attempt to “string out” the fame she garnered from her six-week fling with Kanye West.
Julia, 33, kicked off 2024 in another jaw-dropping “underwear as outerwear” outfit.
The Uncut Gems actress wore a white wedding ensemble to a swanky event at Sotheby’s in Manhattan, New York.
Her white dress was dropped below her hips to reveal a skimpy thong.
Image Consultant and stylist Amanda Sanders claimed Julia’s bridal-inspired look was “goofy.”
The model showed off her stomach, thighs, and semi-naked butt.
“She wears strange, provocative, and odd things for attention,” Sanders told The U.S. Sun.
“Wearing underwear on the outside is intentional, but it looks goofy.
“The message from the underwear also shows her finger at society.
“Nobody knew who Julia was before Kanye West.”
The pair dated six weeks in 2022, with Julia telling Interview Magazine there was an “instant connection.”
The rapper surprised her with a room filled with clothes on their second date.
When they split, Julia told the Los Angeles Times she thought her relationship with Kanye, 46, “could be something real.”
“I really understood him on a visceral level,” she claimed as she discussed her book Down the Drain.
Sanders said Julia is “obscure,” so she uses the brief relationship to continue to court attention.
“It is as if Kanye started these goofy styles that stuck with Julia,” she said.
“Then she did it all by herself and got attention for it.
“Julia is still stringing that all out because she is obscure.
“Julia keeps banking on that brief relationship with Kanye.
“People identified Julia with Kanye, but then he was written off, so she still got some attention.
“Julia will probably carry on doing this underwear look for a while.
“She will only be talked about if she keeps appearing in the fashion world wearing these provocative outfits.”
Earlier in January, the model opted for a white Victorian bloomers ensemble.
She added pink bows to her skimpy white bra. It looked as if she had stitched the outfit together.
In 2023, the model walked in Diesel men’s briefs and a jacket.
That October, Julia attended a TV interview wearing white pants over bloomers.
“I never had money for clothes so I would go to all these really nice stores on Fifth Avenue and steal gorgeous clothes,” Fox told Interview magazine in December.
“Then I would make them my own by cutting them up.”
This is all for shock value and is certainly not flattering or fashionable

Sanders claimed none of her outfits are appealing.
“This is all for shock value and is certainly not flattering or fashionable,” she said.
“These garments are not intended to be worn that way, either so they are split up or worn outside instead.
“People might pay Julia to wear ridiculous stuff, or it is just her interpretation.
“But it is not quite right; she just wants to keep herself in the public eye.
“With the wedding dress, it would be different if she wore the skirt a little higher above her crotch.
“And maybe her backside was out, but the whole front and back being out are awful.
“The skirt would probably fall if you walk in that, but it’s attached in the back.
“That seems to make sense, or else it will fall completely.”
Other celebrities who have worn the trend include Madonna and Zoe Kravitz.
Sanders said it has also been prevalent on the runway before now.
She claimed the look could work – on a different person.
“Madonna does this underwear as outerwear look,” she said.
“We have also seen it on the runway.
Julia’s notoriety was indeed for dating Kanye and for a short time
“Zoe Kravitz was also seen wearing a mesh overlay.
“But Julia is not a big celebrity like these women.
“Julia is not an artist, celebrity, or anything other than just a personality.
“This is all to keep herself relevant, so she gets some attention.
“Her notoriety was indeed for dating Kanye for a short time.”
Julia shot to fame for her role in the 2019 movie Uncut Gems.
She starred alongside Adam Sandler and played Julia De Fiore.
Before her relationship with Kanye, Julia married Peter Artemiev, a pilot.
They share a son, Valentino, 2.
Another occasion saw Julia in black, which Sanders claimed was not so bad.
“The black she wore in the winter could be a bathing suit,” she said.
“That is, this is the more rationalized underwear as outerwear look.
“This time, it is not offensive and does not show anything, but it still looks foolish.
“This one is not for shock value like (her other outfits).
“Some people like to be relevant no matter what.”
Sometimes, she can be attractive, but she chooses vulgar and foolish things to keep herself relevant.

Sanders added: “Aside from these outfits, Julia does look unique.
“She just chooses vulgar and foolish things to keep herself relevant.
“Sotheby’s is quite a high-profile brand, so Julia’s latest outfit was all for notoriety.
“Again, it was too goofy to be a look or style in that type of exclusive setting.”
