The look brings to mind a recent appearance by Bianca Censori — the wife of Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West — who dropped a black fur coat on the Grammys red carpet to expose a barely-there sheer dress that made her appear completely naked. Fox briefly dated the rapper in 2022.

Fox’s look, named by Findikoglu as “Rebirth of Venus,” was a nod to Italian painter Sandro Botticelli’s seminal work “The Birth of Venus” (c. 1480). While Findikoglu isn’t the first designer to take cues from the 15th century artwork, her reference may be the most literal.

Of course, showing up on a red carpet in an envelope-pushing outfit is nothing new for Fox, who always makes a splash whether its wearing metal lingerie or bleaching her eyebrows. Fox told WWD last year that her ideal look "has to be ahead of the curve.”

The "Uncut Gems" actress covered up with mermaid waves on Sunday, one month after Censori's viral Grammys red carpet moment with Kanye West.

NO ONE does it like her. Me personally? I had extremely high expectations for Julia Fox's outfit at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, and she came through x 100. The author/actor arrived on the annual red carpet channeling Botticelli's "Birth of Venus" in a completely sheer dress and strategically placed waves of hair.

Julia's barely-there ensemble gave major Bianca Censori vibes, echoing a similar moment from Kanye West's wife at the 2025 Grammys. Back in February, Bianca walked the red carpet in a dark fur coat—only to drop it and reveal a completely sheer minidress underneath while standing next to the rapper.

After Anora took out the Best Picture at the 2024 awards, while its star Mikey Madison walked away with Best Actress and Adrien Brody won Best Actor, the stars descended on Wallis Annenberg Centre for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills for the publication’s annual party.

Julia Fox sure knows how to make an entrance! The actress and model, 35, stepped onto the red carpet at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Sunday, March 2, in a completely sheer Dilara Findikoglu dress that freed the nipple.
