At this point, sheer dresses are par for the course on the red carpet, and risqué cutouts are part and parcel of awards season. Once shocking, naked dressing in 2025 has lost some of its ability to surprise. Or at least, it had before Julia Fox and an enormous amount of hair extensions decided to get involved on Oscar night.
Always a champion of naked dressing, Fox has even ridden the subway in a set of rollers and little else. For the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars Party, though, she wore ever so slightly more, donning a sheer Dilara Findikoglu cowl-necked dress and nude heels. The show-stealer? Her apparently endless hair extensions that preserved her modesty.
The whimsical work of John Novotny (the pair have collaborated before), Fox wore her hair in a series of knee-length S-bend waves that were plastered to her skin and visible beneath the dress. Long enough to wrap around her back, hips and thighs, the hair evoked a certain Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden energy, made less Biblical and more modern with a few rough braids and a low knot. Fox finished the look with a chunky French manicure, bleached brows and a soft, feathery fringe.
This isn’t the first time Fox has worn Turkish British designer Dilara Findikoglu. In 2024, the actor and author wore a high-necked deconstructed corset gown of hers to the British Fashion Awards. Fox later posted on Instagram to say that [Findikoglu] was the “queen of fashion” and the “only person [she] would fly to London for 24 hours for.”
