in Kenzo

She's at Paris Fashion Week here, in denim cone boobs, wearing the sharpie makeup she preferred back in January. She definitely learned skills for her media playbook from this period of her life.

I think she and Ye had broken up by this point -- they were really barely together, which, good for her for finding some staying power of her own? This is loopy, but compared with some of what's to come, it works. And I like the moody, stompy biker look on her.

Oh, girl, this is so JV compared with what's to come for you. WE WERE SO INNOCENT THEN.

"I wonder if a bodysuit that looks like it's part-diaper will be as weird as it gets for me this year."

"Oh, never mind, I answered my own question pretty quickly."

Of course she has a whip at the Versace show. I don't actually know if it's a hair extension or attached to her dress.

"Don't worry guys, I'm planning something."

"This is not what I'm planning. It was just cold today."

And HERE we begin the real batshittery of Julia's choices, beginning with a buttock cutout and a bikini. She's at the Independent Spirit Awards, and this definitely has... an independent spirit.

Okay, what you can't see here is that this top has no back. It's JUST the sleeves/gloves and then the front. What happens if she spills scalding coffee over the arms and needs to remove them quickly??? THIS IS A PRACTICAL QUESTION.

"I wonder if sleeve-shirt is the weirdest thing I'll do in 2022."

"Hahaha just kidding I was already mentally cutting up my jeans."

This is more pleather than a person should wear if they are not Catwoman.

If the top had just a FEW more inches...

Honestly, this one actively bothered me. I hate the neckline that looks like a strangling hand.

"Friends, there is more than one way to skin a pair of jeans to make a bra top."

She had TWO outfits like this -- one looked to be made of spandex/workout clothes, and then this one. I cheaped out on you and only paid for one. I don't regret it.

She really... does not know her way around a cute backdrop. "Hi everyone, this is my apartment building's storage space, we keep the extra garbage cans there and I guess I could buy a bike."

Even Lady Gaga is like, "Too much."

Truly, this was one of my favorite days. She went on an ACTUAL shopping spree.

"You know what my year was missing? Rivers of armpit sweat. I'm good now though!"

That is quite a cat's cradle.

I just snort-laugh every time I see this. I don't know why.

And this one.

Did someone leave her cake out in the rain?

I know this outfit has its own belly-button, but the crotch buckle is really just magnificent.

Julia Fox

Is this made of a web of hair elastics?

Her top looks like two snakes being charmed out of a basket.

Please look at the thing that's shaped like a thong, but which appears to be glued onto the outside of the outfit, and higher than a thong would be. It's really something. This whole thing is the work of an acid trip.

That's got to be one of those strapless bras that you stick to yourself, right? And she just decided to quit there?

So much skin cover! Did she lose a bet?

That top looks 3D printed, or something. It just... is not of this world.

So, look closely. The belt starts under the right side of the coat, and then finishes OUTSIDE the left side of the coat. It's a magic trick!

I remain speechless.

THIS is a good marriage of subject and dress, honestly.

Julia Fox can pull off a lot, but somehow this might be turning her face into an afterthought?

... jaunty cap?

I also enjoy how open she is about doing this on purpose. She is not being papped randomly walking through a bunch of visually interesting poles; she picked that, and it's clear. She owns the game she's playing.

I actually kind of like this.

She definitely Saran Wrapped her shoes so that they'd look like boots, right? Yes. I feel confident.

What a fancy Glamour Don't bar. That thing should've shown up to work 40 slides ago.

Does Maleficent have a cousin?

This seems almost quaint now.

She's a melting mermaid.

I think this is a good look for her -- the hard-edged sexy biker plays to her strengths.

I enjoyed Zac's return to designing, via this massive Jiffy Pop of an outfit.

I guess bleaching your eyebrows DOES mean you can experiment with drawing them on in any configuration you like. It's like a dress rehearsal.

You have to applaud her eye contact. She can serve better focus than a lot of the runway models we're supposed to revere (ahem, Kaia).

Those are pants and they must weigh MANY POUNDS. She has enough fabric for three other pairs.

It says a lot that you might not have guessed this was a costume, had I not noted that this was taken on Halloween.

She just really loves to strap her chest down with haphazard denim.

This feels like a sweet boob release, frankly. I like this and just wish the jacket covered them.

We have almost come full circle. This is like the EXTRA DRAMATIC version of the one she wore in March to the Indie Spirits. In many ways it represents her evolution as a Priestess of WTF.

in Mugler

Do I understand it? No. But is it attractive? Also no. Which is really the theme she chose for her entire sartorial year, so well done for staying on-message, Julia.

It's the post you didn't ask for, and maybe didn't want.
