Julia Fox wigs out after changing her signature look and reflects on 'horrible' breakup from Kanye West
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.
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.
Julia bared her shoulders in a Jean Paul Gaultier spring 1997 mesh tube dress, featuring an old Hollywood print, along with brown knee-high boots and darker brown bag selected by her BFF/stylist Briana Andalore.
Hairstylist John Novotny coiffed Fox's waist-length brunette wig, which was parted in the middle.
The Milan-born, Manhattan-raised provocateur's wavy hairpiece more than resembled her natural brunette mane from back when she enjoyed a five-week fling with disgraced designer-rapper Kanye 'Ye' West in early 2022.

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.
'I was going through a lot during that time. I was coming off of, like, a very public breakup. It was horrible,' Fox lamented to Gayle King.
'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 or not taken seriously or just dismissed.
'And I feel like that's why our characters kind of just, like, had this unique love story.'
The Presence actress portrays celebrity trainer Jack Flex's (Schnabel) hungry assistant Bee Luciani in Tony Kaye's upcoming 'punk Marvel film' called The Trainer, which has yet to secure US distribution after screening at the Rome and Tribeca film festivals.
Julia later changed into a shorter black wig with a spit curl, a white babydoll-bubble dress, and matching platform pumps to attend a screening of the star-studded comedy on Monday night at the Village East by Angelika.
The Trainer also features 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 audiences can next catch Fox as the seductive Elsie White in Justin Tipping's NFL satanic horror film HIM - hitting US theaters September 19 - produced by Jordan Peele.
The Down the Drain singer has also been hard at work producing and judging the second season of her design competition OMG Fashun, but Peacock postponed the May release 'due to unexpected delays' but it's 'still in active production.'

Julia's other upcoming films include 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.
Fox is also every bit the influencer with lucrative paid partnerships for brands like Mienne, Lemme, and Revolve.
On the personal front, the 360 video vixen - who's been celibate since 2021 - 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.

This early 2000s shoe trend is back in a big way
In the early 2000s, the only footwear that could rival a pair of Uggs were Havaianas. The flip-flops came in a variety of bright colors and patterns, and they were definitely not reserved only for beach wear — I often paired mine with low-rise flares and handkerchief hem skirts. Although the brand never technically went away, wearing flip-flops with all types of outfits stopped being quite as popular as it once was. Now, in typical what's-old-is-new-again fashion, Havaianas are making a comeback. To hone in on the trend, I've rounded up some of the most highly rated Havaianas styles currently available. But first, learn a bit more about the brand. What you need to know about Havaianas Havaianas launched in Brazil in 1962. According to the brand, they were inspired by the Zori sandal, a traditional Japanese sandal made with cloth straps and rice straw soles. The company updated its style by using durable rubber in bright colors and patterns to create its flip-flops. To honor the Zori style they were inspired by, the brand uses a rice-like pattern on the bottom of their soles. The flip-flops were popular with beachgoers since their launch, but it was in 1998 that they became super trendy. This was the year that fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier had models wear them in one of his runway shows. After that, people everywhere started wearing flip-flops with all types of outfits. The trend waned for a bit, but recently Havaianas have been making a big comeback with the fashion crowd, thanks in part to the brand introducing new styles, including square-toe and embroidered options. Highly rated Havaianas to shop right now Below, we've rounded up some of Havaianas' most popular offerings — including its classic styles and newer designs. NBC Select Commerce editor Lindsay Schneider has been wearing Havaianas for over 20 years and has a particular fondness for this style. The classic flip-flop features slim straps with a raised monochromatic logo and the brand's signature rice pattern on the sole. The textured bottoms provide traction, and the footbed is cushioned for comfort, according to the brand. 'Of course, they're a consistent summer staple for me, but I also wear them year-round as house shoes/slippers in my apartment,' says Schneider. 'Since they're so slim and lightweight, I also always travel with them — I like wearing them around hotels, in showers that aren't my own, etc.' These flip flops come in a variety of colors — including buttercream, white, black and pink fever. A slightly updated version of their classic style, these flip-flops have a square toe and come in a variety of neutral colors — like black, white and rose. They're made from 100% rubber, have traction to provide grip on wet surfaces and have a cushioned footbed for comfort. Prefer something a little less flip-flop-y looking? This pair has a T-strap that spans the top of your foot and a back strap to keep your foot securely in place. Like all Havaianas, they're made completely from rubber and come in lots of colors (including rose gold, grey steel and black). This style has a 4.2-star average rating from over 13,400 reviews on Amazon. Looking for something a bit dressier? These flip-flops have slimmer straps than the classic style and a decorative crystal square for a touch of bling. They come in black, dark brown and beige and have a 4.5-star average rating from over 135 reviews at Havaianas. Add a little height with these platform flip-flops. They have a wedge-shaped sole and slightly thicker straps to keep your feet secure as you walk. The sandals come in two shades — ballet rose and black — and are available in sizes 5.5 through 10.5.
