9 Times Julia Fox Has Chicly Freed The Nipple

May 12, 2024

Julia Fox has never met a controversial trend she didn’t like. Since the Uncut Gems star burst onto the fashion scene, she’s taken to only the most risqué of trends: exposed thongs, cut-outs featuring unconventional body parts, and daringly low-rise bottoms.

While the aforementioned styles are divisive to varying degrees, nothing nets more angry comments from Internet trolls than an exposed nipple. (Remember the online vitriol Florence Pugh received for showing her breasts? Unreal.) Naturally, as someone who celebrates bodily autonomy, Fox regularly frees the nipple in the name of fashion.

In fact, the model often combines visible breasts with another spicy trend (or two). And because Fox doesn’t do anything in a basic way, her approach to the liberated look isn’t just powerful, it’s masterfully artful, as well.

For one, she flaunted gold-painted nipples under a clear sculptural breast plate at Cannes Film Festival. She’s also taken to the contentious look for various fashion week ensembles, including a casually sporty mesh number, as well as a sheer ensemble that included a leather jacket and piercings.

Whether she’s attending hyper-exclusive parties or taking a dip at the beach, trust Julia Fox to bring her signature spice wherever she goes. Ahead, relive nine of her best free-the-nipple ensembles.

Even when she’s modeling, Fox is still in her saucy element. During Milan’s Men Fashion Week, Fox strutted down the Dsquared2 runway in a boudoir-inspired dress that showed nip.

Ever the provocateur, Fox wore a flesh-colored strapless mini that resembled plastic cling-wrap. The surprise element of her nip-forward ‘fit, however, was that it looked like it was made with bits of slicked hair.

Fox slipped into something more grandiose to attend the Cannes Film Festival. She took to a voluminous, white bubble skirt with a long, circular train. On top, she wore nothing but a clear, sculptural breast plate that fully flaunted her gold-painted nipples. Free the nip, but make it art.

Nips weren’t the only body part Fox flaunted in this sheer Courrèges ‘fit. Behold: her belly button cut-out, accessorized chicly with a piercing. Both the navel-baring hole and the corresponding jewelry were big street style trends last NYFW.

Trust Fox to take a simple tube dress to new, spicy heights. The see-through item fully exposed her contrasting black thong, in addition to her nips. She also toted a bag designed with condoms. NBD.

Never basic, Fox flaunted nip in a mock neck sculptural mini that hugged her every curve. The dress, which looked like it was fashioned out of melted wax, also featured cut-out details and a smattering of hardware. So good.

Two-Toned

Fox is a master at combining textures. Take this two-toned white and wine dress, for example. The flimsy white fabric was made of a stretchy knit, while the Bordeaux-hued details (peep that peek-a-boo thong) were made out of latex.
