It's no secret that Julia Fox is a fashion risk-taker, but her latest red carpet appearance has left us all talking! The 35-year-old Uncut Gems star turned heads at the De Beers Group Desert Diamond launch event at the Artechouse in New York on Friday, and we're still reeling from the drama.

Julia, who's mom to a beautiful little one, was every bit the bold fashionista in her eye-catching white mini dress. The real showstopper? Those ginormous shoulder pads that added an extra layer of sass to her already daring ensemble! And let's not forget the finishing touches – a lower face-shaped clutch bag and striking blue eyeshadow and eyeliner that left everyone in awe.

The Uncut Gems star put on a very leggy display in the mini dress, which boasted giant shoulder pads

As Julia posed confidently on the red carpet, rubbing shoulders with Aigle CEO Sandrine Conseiller (formerly marketing director at Lacoste), we couldn't help but wonder: what's next for this fearless fashionista? The answer lies in her latest project – Jordan Peele's Him – where she'll be playing the role of Elsie White, footballer Isaiah Savoury's socialite wife.

But what inspired Julia to take on this character? According to sources close to the star, it was none other than Victoria Beckham herself who sparked the idea. Speaking about her preparation for the role, Julia revealed that she looked up to VB as a style icon back in the 2000s. That's right – Victoria Beckham was the ultimate inspiration for Julia's portrayal of Elsie White!

Appearing on The Capital Evening Show with presenter Jimmy Hill, Julia dished about how she got into character: "As soon as I got off the phone with Justin Tipping our director, I started googling photos of Victoria Beckham at the start of her and David’s career... Just her in the stands and cheering him on and that really got me excited!" She confessed to Jimmy, "I was like, 'Oh my God this is so cool'!"

Jimmy couldn't help but tease Julia about channeling her inner VB: "I can see it now channelling VB!" – a nod to Victoria's iconic status in the fashion world.

But what exactly does Him have in store for us? Based on the synopsis, we're in for a thrilling ride! The movie follows Cameron Cade (Tyriq Withers), a rising quarterback whose life takes a drastic turn when he suffers a potentially career-ending injury after being attacked by an unhinged fan. Enter Isaiah White (Jim Jefferies), a football legend who offers to train Cam at his isolated compound – but things take a dark and twisted turn as the training accelerates.

We can't wait to see Julia Fox bring this complex character to life on the big screen, all while channeling her inner Victoria Beckham. Stay tuned for more updates from The Scholarly Note – we'll be keeping you posted every step of the way!
