Celebrity style transforms from fashion week to laundry day.

OLIVIA GROZIER · OCT 19, 2023

Julia Fox wore a dry cleaning bag as a dress as she stepped out for a night out in London Tuesday evening. Photos of the Uncut Gems star popped up across US Weekly and Instagram, causing a media frenzy as she was spotted outside the Ham Yard Hotel on Oct. 17th.

The clear garment bag hung from Fox’s neck, covering only the front side of the actress’ body and leaving her backside bare and on trend. Inside the bag was identified as the LTD shirt from Figura Services, an up-and-coming fashion brand based in London. The piece is a featured part of the rising brand’s “The Damage Done” autumn/winter 2023 collection showcased in London Fashion Week in February.

Fox’s look was styled by her long-time stylist, Briana Andalore, complete with linen shorts, slouchy pointed-toe boots, and a loop handbag. Julia Fox wore her hair down with curls framing her face and pink highlights to add a hint of colorful edge to the all-white ensemble. The look was topped off with pencil-thin brows reminiscent of the 90s and a matte chocolate brown lip.

This is far from the first time Julia Fox has embraced camp. The celebrity’s past looks have included her shower curtain dress, a full body of saran wrap, and a sparkly, hot pink maxi dress decorated with an all too fluffy poodle.

Needless to say, this won’t be the last of her eye-catching style. Julia Fox can add this dry cleaning bag dress to her laundry list of kitschy looks.

Following their Runway of Dreams debut at NYFW in September, “Adaptive Intimates” are now available in select stores and online. Is the VS&Co company truly looking to revolutionize lingerie for those with disabilities, or just restore their brand image?

The lingerie was made possible from VS&Co’s involvement with GAMUT, an agency that works specifically, among other things, to destigmatize and help disabled persons find modeling jobs. These bras and panties feature magnetic closures, adjustable and removable straps, as well as sensory friendly fabric.

Since the cancellation of their Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in early 2018, and the social and cultural cancellation of the overall Victoria’s Secret brand, the VS&Co company has tried hard to improve their social consciousness. Including women of color in higher positions within the corporate company itself, and bringing LGBTQIA+ and transgender models to the runway were examples of solutions found by the company, but many consumers still don’t buy it.

Victoria’s Secret is not the first company to use disabled models in their runway shows, or create products with the intention of accessibility. In the same year, Rhianna’s Savage X Fenty lingerie line debuted itself on the same stage, and was met with overwhelming positivity and sales revenue.

Via WWD, “People with disabilities are one of the most underrepresented and underserved minority groups in the world,” the company said in a statement. “As a global brand and workforce, VS&Co has a responsibility to connect with, listen to and empower people with disabilities, caregivers and their allies to drive meaningful change within the global fashion industry.”
