We Need A Moment To Recover From Julia Fox’s Latest See-Through Look

December 26, 2024

Julia Fox poses with a hand mirror at the Opening of Yayoi Kusama Exhibition 2024 at the National Gallery of Victoria on December 14, 2024 in Melbourne

Talk about a showstopper.

Chances are you didn’t have ‘an American Beauty-inspired Julia Fox/Yayoi Kusama collab’ on your 2024 bingo card, but the year isn’t quite finished delivering surprises.

The Uncut Gems actress is featured in the beloved Japanese contemporary artist’s “Flower Obsession,” on exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia.

In a clip shared on Instagram, Fox channels Mena Suvari’s famous rose petal scene from American Beauty, the Oscar-winning 1999 film starring Annette Benning and a then-hirable Kevin Spacey.

Lounging in a sea of red flowers, Fox reads a quote by Kusama explaining the inspiration for the collection.

“One day, after gazing at a pattern of red flowers on the tablecloth, I looked up to see that the ceiling, the windows, and the columns seemed to be plastered with the same red floral pattern,” she narrates. “I saw the entire room, my entire body, and the entire universe covered with red flowers, and in that instant my soul was obliterated … This was not an illusion but reality itself.”

The sheer outfit, designed by Melbourne-based label Wackie Ju with assistance from Jonty Knight, is a showstopper.

“Still can’t wrap my head around this moment,” Fox captioned a second photo post.

“Wow Julia,” commented Broad City’s Ilana Glazer, while assistant designer Jonty Knight remarked, “It’s the fact [you] had to improvise & come up with that first look in 0.5 seconds for me.”

Even American Beauty star Mena Suvari shared her approval: “This is so incredibly beautiful and wonderful to see how this film continues to inspire. Thank you for thinking of me and for all the love and support. Means everything,” she wrote.

We’d say Kusama and Fox deserve their flowers for this one, but it looks like they’ve already been delivered.
