After rising to fame in 2019 after being cast in “Uncut Gems,” a brief romantic interlude with Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) helped turbo-charge Fox’s public profile — and her wardrobe, as just a few dates in, Ye surprised Fox with a reported $100,000 worth of Diesel clothes.
To celebrate the fashion darling’s 33rd birthday on Thursday, we’ve mapped out Fox’s impressive style evolution, from classic pencil skirts and fitted midi dresses to latex whips and boots made from saran wrap.
Even before her big break, elements of Julia Fox’s trademark style were on display. In 2015, while attending a Marc Jacobs launch party in New York, she was seen rocking a low-waisted skirt with a stomach-baring bandeau. Credit: Gilbert Carrasquillo/WireImage/Getty Images
Ever-playful in her sartorial choices, Fox stood out again in 2017 wearing a coordinated glitter outfit that matched with that of model Richie Shazam. Credit: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images
