Julia Fox's Bold New Look: From Bleached Pixie to Classic Brunette!

Julia Fox proved she could ditch her outlandish, exhibitionist style - at least temporarily - in favor of a more traditional, natural look while promoting her new movie The Trainer in New York City on Monday

Julia Fox Ditches Wild Style for Classic Look: A Glimpse into Her Turbulent Past and Sizzling Career

In a shocking departure from her usual outlandish, exhibitionist style, 35-year-old actress Julia Fox stunned onlookers with a more traditional, natural look while promoting her upcoming film "The Trainer" in New York City on Monday. The former dominatrix-turned-actress, who has been making waves in the entertainment industry with her bold fashion choices and provocative persona, showcased a new side of herself as she walked the red carpet.

Fox's transformation was not just limited to her wardrobe choice; she also sported a stunning brunette wig that eerily resembled her natural locks from before her high-profile romance with Kanye "Ye" West in early 2022. The actress revealed on CBS Mornings earlier that day, alongside writer-star Vito Schnabel, that she had been going through a tough time during the breakup.

The 35-year-old former dominatrix bleached her natural brunette mane into oblivion beginning in February 2024, leaving her with a damaged pixie cut, and she only stopped bleaching her eyebrows last month after doing so since 2023

"I was coming off of a very public breakup," Fox lamented to Gayle King. "It was horrible... I just wanted to go to work and be able to just be somebody else. I loved being her [Bee Luciani]. I feel like I have so much in common with her in terms of you know, being overlooked or not taken seriously or just dismissed." Fox's words paint a picture of an actress struggling to find her place in the industry and seeking solace in her on-screen roles.

Fox's portrayal of celebrity trainer Jack Flex's assistant Bee Luciani in Tony Kaye's upcoming "punk Marvel film" is one such role that she hopes will give her the recognition she deserves. However, the film's US distribution has yet to be secured after screening at the Rome and Tribeca film festivals. The cast boasts an impressive lineup of stars, including Steven Van Zandt, Beverly D'Angelo, Bella Thorne, Gina Gershon, Stephen Dorff, Lenny Kravitz, Paris Hilton, John McEnroe, Taylour Paige, Gus Van Sant, Gavin Rossdale, Lauren Sánchez, Finneas, Chris Rock, Snoop Dogg, Jason Momoa, Julian Schnabel, Bono, and Sharon Stone.

But Fox's career is not just limited to "The Trainer". She has a slew of upcoming projects, including Justin Tipping's NFL satanic horror film "HIM", which hits US theaters on September 19. The actress will also be seen in William Scoular's indie road trip comedy "Northbound", Millicent Hailes' LGBTQIA romantic drama "Perfect", Christopher André Marks' heist comedy "Mykonos", Matt Sukkar's action thriller "The Deputy", and Benjamin Caron's crime thriller "Night Always Comes".

In addition to her film projects, Fox is also hard at work producing and judging the second season of her design competition "OMG Fashun". However, due to unexpected delays, Peacock has postponed the May release, but it's still in active production. When she's not on set or judging fashion designs, Fox can be seen promoting lucrative paid partnerships for brands like Mienne, Lemme, and Revolve.

On a personal note, Fox has primary custody of her four-year-old son Valentino from her three-year marriage to Brooklyn private pilot Peter Artemiev, which ended in 2022. The actress has been open about her decision to remain celibate since 2021 and has used her platform to raise awareness for various social causes.

As Fox navigates the ups and downs of her career and personal life, one thing is certain – she's a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry. With her talent, style, and unapologetic persona, it's no wonder that Fox continues to make headlines and leave fans eager for more.

Julia reflected on the high-profile split, which came before she started filming The Trainer, while making her first-ever appearance on CBS Mornings earlier that day with writer-star Vito Schnabel (R)

Fox lamented to Gayle King: 'I was going through a lot during that time. I was coming off of, like, a very public breakup. It was horrible. And I just wanted to go to work and be able to just be somebody else. I loved being her. I feel like I have so much in common with her in terms of you know being, like, overlooked'
