Julia Fox is baffled over the constant sexualisation of women’s bodies, saying that it’s the ‘last thing’ she does with hers.
The actress and fashion icon looked her usual bold self in a photoshoot for Cosmopolitan UK that saw her dressed in a variety of eye-catching garments, from chainmail style dress to a giant red bow.
She also stunned in a serpent-inspired scarlet number with a tentacle wrapped around her bare chest and another around her hips and low-slung skirt.
‘Women’s bodies should be celebrated and shouldn’t just be viewed as sexual objects. Anyone getting mad at me for showing a lot of skin has slapped this label on me as a sexual being,’ she told the outlet.
‘But I’m so much more than that – and sex is the last f**king thing I do with this body.
‘I’m proud of my body. Why wouldn’t I wear something revealing, really cool and artsy? Why choose to interpret my body as a sexual object?’

The mum-of-one also praised her body for being ‘so tough’ and ‘so, so strong’ in making ‘another body’, that of her two-year-old son, Valentino, who she shares with ex-husband Peter Artemiev.
She also addressed her fondness for being ‘fun and crazy’ with her fashion choices; we’ve seen her in everything from a shower curtain to a horse dress and carrying accessorises including a bag made of human hair.
Julia is happy to now see women ‘resisting appealing to the male gaze’ and instead looking for validation from one another.
And she uses the perfect example of this: the bleached eyebrow (which she herself has, of course, rocked).

‘Women are so into the bleached brow on each other, I find. Men’s brains… can’t compute,’ the Uncut Gems actress suggested.
‘It signifies this cultural shift of having fun again with how you look.’
The published author also admitted that she is ‘constantly having to resist being defined’ by her two-month relationship with Kanye West last year, which she finds ‘annoying’.
She pointed out that ‘in the grand scheme of my life, it was a millisecond. It doesn’t mean I don’t like him, I just don’t like that’.
