Julia Fox responded to critics of her over-the-top fashion looks
The actress told Allure that to some, her style is "normal"
Fox also explained that "art is supposed to be polarizing"
Julia Fox has some words for her fashion critics.
In a profile for Allure published on Tuesday, Aug. 19, the 35-year-old actress defended her polarizing looks, claiming that, to some, her outfits are nothing out of the ordinary.
"To a New Yorker, [my style] is normal," she told the outlet. "But I could see how someone who's not used to that would be like, 'What's wrong with her? What drugs is she on? What an attention-seeking whore. Oh my God, the makeup is ugly.'"
Fox continued: "To me, that says more about them than it does about me, because, like, damn, you've never gone to the theater? You've never gone to a show, a museum, a fashion show? You've never opened an art book?"
The Uncut Gems actress explained that each of her outfits "has to have some kind of meaning" that allow her to "play that character," adding that "art is supposed to be polarizing."
Either way, Fox isn't letting people's comments get to her. "The way people identify you is very much based on their perception of themselves, and people are going to look at you and take whatever they will," she shared.

Fox emerged as a fashion disrupter amid her brief relationship with Kanye West that ended in February 2022. The couple made their red carpet debut at Paris Fashion Week that year, sporting matching denim ensembles with black gloves. Fox made a splash with dramatic winged eyeliner.

"Every single part of my outfit was intentional and had a purpose," the star told Vogue at the time about her Schiaparelli look. "They curated my outfit to fit not just my body, but also my personality and my essence."

Now, Fox says that de-centering men has spawned a new era of freedom and expression (in 2024, she revealed that she had been celibate for over two years).
"I don't have to entertain men anymore," she told Allure.
Fox has also opened up about cosmetic procedures she's had and champions the recent wave of transparency around plastic surgery among celebrities.
She tells Allure that she finds this type of honesty "super important" for public figures. Previously, she's spoken about undergoing liposuction and a rhinoplasty and getting veneers."Now, when I see someone and I can tell they've never done anything…I wish I could go back and be that person," she shared. "I was so hung up on this idea that I needed to be attractive to men so that I could survive. "

"I love it. I think we should be honest," the actress told PEOPLE at the North American premiere of her new film The Trainer at the Tribeca Festival in New York on June 7.
"Women set the bar for each other and I feel like if you're setting an unrealistic bar [if you're not honest]. That's really great for you, but what about all the girls that are so impressionable and feeling like 'Wait, why don't I look like that and what's wrong with me?'" Fox added.She continued, "It's like, girl, none of us look like this, you know what I mean? Like we all look really different without the surgery and without the fillers and without the makeup and all the things we do and the face tapes and the wigs and the tanning creams. The list goes on. On and on and on."
