Julia Fox Defends Her Polarizing Style as 'Normal': 'You've Never Opened an Art Book?'
The actress tells 'Allure' that people's criticism of her fashion "says more about them than it does about me" NEED TO KNOW Julia Fox responded to critics of her over-the-top fashion looks The actress told Allure that to some, her style is "normal" Fox also explained that "art is supposed to be polarizing" Julia Fox has some words for her fashion critics. In a profile for Allure published on Tuesday, Aug. 19, the 35-year-old actress defended her polarizing looks, claiming that, to some, her outfits are nothing out of the ordinary. 'To a New Yorker, [my style] is normal," she told the outlet. "But I could see how someone who's not used to that would be like, 'What's wrong with her? What drugs is she on? What an attention-seeking whore. Oh my God, the makeup is ugly.'" Fox continued: "To me, that says more about them than it does about me, because, like, damn, you've never gone to the theater? You've never gone to a show, a museum, a fashion show? You've never opened an art book?' The Uncut Gems actress explained that each of her outfits "has to have some kind of meaning" that allow her to "play that character," adding that "art is supposed to be polarizing." Either way, Fox isn't letting people's comments get to her. "The way people identify you is very much based on their perception of themselves, and people are going to look at you and take whatever they will," she shared. Fox emerged as a fashion disrupter amid her brief relationship with Kanye West that ended in February 2022. The couple made their red carpet debut at Paris Fashion Week that year, sporting matching denim ensembles with black gloves. Fox made a splash with dramatic winged eyeliner. Related: "Every single part of my outfit was intentional and had a purpose," the star told Vogue at the time about her Schiaparelli look. "They curated my outfit to fit not just my body, but also my personality and my essence." Now, Fox says that de-centering men has spawned a new era of freedom and expression (in 2024, she revealed that she had been celibate for over two years). 'I don't have to entertain men anymore," she told Allure. Fox has also opened up about cosmetic procedures she's had and champions the recent wave of transparency around plastic surgery among celebrities. She tells Allure that she finds this type of honesty "super important" for public figures. Previously, she's spoken about undergoing liposuction and a rhinoplasty and getting veneers.'Now, when I see someone and I can tell they've never done anything…I wish I could go back and be that person," she shared. "I was so hung up on this idea that I needed to be attractive to men so that I could survive. ' "I love it. I think we should be honest," the actress told PEOPLE at the North American premiere of her new film The Trainer at the Tribeca Festival in New York on June 7. "Women set the bar for each other and I feel like if you're setting an unrealistic bar [if you're not honest]. That's really great for you, but what about all the girls that are so impressionable and feeling like 'Wait, why don't I look like that and what's wrong with me?'" Fox continued, "It's like, girl, none of us look like this, you know what I mean? Like we all look really different without the surgery and without the fillers and without the makeup and all the things we do and the face tapes and the wigs and the tanning creams. The list goes on. On and on and on." Read the original article on People

Poolside Pork Tostadas and More Openings in New Orleans This August
is an award-winning food and travel writer living in New Orleans. Her work has appeared in Atlas Obscura, The Local Palate, and the Los Angeles Times. When even chef Emeril Lagasse says the summer's been tough, it's been a real monster. 'One of the toughest we've experienced in a long, long time,' said the James Beard award-winning celebrity chef. Even so, he sees hope. 'We are still having restaurant growth,' said the chef. 'Maybe not so much fine dining, but restaurants are opening.' An Emeril alum brings seafood boils and bourbon to Lakeview Boil and Barrel will open soon in the old Outpost 45/Mondo space in Lakeview at 900 Harrison Avenue. David McCelvey, once a chef with Lagasse's company, is a partner in the business. McCelvey ran the Uptown seafood spot Frankie & Johnny's for the past decade. Besides the boiled seafood, as the name implies, there will be fried seafood and po' boys, raw oysters, chilled seafood, and grilled fish and meats. And, of course, a burger. The barrel offers a vast selection of bourbon, alongside a variety of beer on tap and in cans. If the stars align, look for an opening by the end of the month. Poolside bites from chef Sophina Uong Chef-owner Sophina Uong brings Mister Mao's unapologetically inauthentic roadhouse flavors to the pool menu at the Maidstone New Orleans. She's an operating partner in the business at 3522 Tulane Avenue, which includes 18 renovated rooms and suites, a sparkling saltwater pool, a bar brimming with tropical cocktails and poolside bites like the Cambodian pork tostada with fish sauce, a little gem salad with peanuts, coconut, and hot chili — and even the swanky option of caviar, crème fraiche and Zapp's. Regular DJs, live music, and themed parties complete the scene. Pitas, kebabs, and more Two Middle Eastern restaurants are new to the scene, with one already open and the other coming later this month. The Pita Paradise Mediterranean Grill is new at 4701 Freret Street, taking over the Kolache Kitchen corner. Kababs, shawarma, gyro, and all the usual homemade spreads and dips anchor the menu. Café Levant, from the family behind Mona's Café, is hoping for a late August opening in Mid-City at 4641 South Carrollton Avenue. The menu includes items like fatayer, a Lebanese-style savory hand pie filled with spinach, cheese, or meat. Pasta takeout from Il Supremo. Il Supremo The pizza trend continues Jamaican Jerk House expands More good news in Metairie. Jamaican Jerk House is expanding from its original location in Bywater to Metairie. Owners Jackie Diaz and chef Richard Rose are readying a second location across from Target in Metairie, planning to open later this month. The couple brings two inspirations to the plate. Rose was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and is known for his brilliant jerk seasoning and slow and low roasted oxtails in gravy. His first-generation Cuban American wife is a natural cook and radiates hospitality. Brown Butter Southern Kitchen and Bar served its brand of Southern comfort fare in Mid-City from 2015 to 2023. Simon Beck, one of the original partners, recently reopened the business as Brown Butter Depot at the station in Old Gretna, across from the Saturday farmer's market. Lauren Clayton, a day-one employee in Mid-City, is now a co-owner. Chef Devin Alvarado oversees a menu focused on burgers and sandwiches, with weekend brunch items coming into the mix later this month. An eclectic spot in Mid-City Finally, the former Fharmacy space at 2540 Bank Street has new life with Hot & Soul, an eclectic spot bringing an international fusion menu to Mid-City. Think a loose meat burger with chili sauce, veggie curry, pork lumpia, and beef stroganoff. For those still missing Fharmacy, the adored Fharmacy burger lives on from chef Nhat Nguyen at his brother's restaurant Pho Parish in Chalmette.
