Julia Fox defies fashion norms once again—this time, with her choice of shoes.
Julia Fox is very good at challenging aesthetic canons and playing with fashion as she pleases. It’s one of the great talents of this multifaceted artist who, in addition to acting, also develops her career in other fields such as writing and photography, among others. This time, on her way to film some scenes for the series Elsbeth, where she will appear in a guest episode, she was photographed in a look that perfectly reflected her personal style: disruptive.
It’s also very much in line with her ability to turn the “wrong” shoe into an outfit centerpiece. Her ‘jewel’ Crocs—full of sparkling appliqués with a kitschy air that only she could defend with such confidence—broke up the harmony of a look composed of black shorts, a bowling bag, and a tank top with a printed message that defines her very well: controversial muse.

This is where it’s time to take a break and talk about Crocs themselves. Because it’s undeniable that they are, without a doubt, one of the most comfortable and lightest shoes in existence. Of course, these rubber clogs have been going from being a utilitarian accessory for years and have leaped (through reinterpretations) into street style and the runways of brands like Simone Rocha, but they’re gaining more and more fans who embrace “ugly shoes” without hesitation.
With this gesture, the multidisciplinary artist confirms her mastery when it comes to creating distinctive outfits, but she also joins a trend that has made ugly shoes a style phenomenon. Aa Anne Hathaway recently proved with her Chanel dad sandals, or Hailey Bieber with her slippers, comfort in footwear is paramount. And if anyone can champion that philosophy and turn it into a jewel, it’s Julia Fox.
