    Julia Fox and Others Try Nearly Nude Looks at Oscars and Vanity Fair

    Julia Fox followed up Bianca Censori’s much-discussed Grammys moment with a sheer dress at Vanity Fair’s party. Others joined her in the less-is-more approach.About a month after Bianca Censori caused a commotion for posing on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards in a completely sheer minidress, another woman with ties to Ye arrived in a similarly nearly naked look to Vanity Fair’s Oscars after-party on Sunday. This time, it was Julia Fox, who previously dated the rapper and designer formerly known as Kanye West.Ms. Fox’s sheer garment of choice, by the Turkish designer Dilara Findikoglu, was a maxi dress that involved some ruching to give it a bit more shape. Strands of Ms. Fox’s wavy hair extensions were strategically placed underneath the dress, covering the necessary areas.It was a look that drew a great deal of attention and one that invited numerous comparisons to Ms. Censori, whose outfit reveal at the Grammys was bold enough that some falsely said it had led to her and Ye, her husband, being asked to leave.On Sunday night, Ms. Fox was not the only one at the Vanity Fair party in a provocative look.Among the provocative looks at Vanity Fair’s Oscars party were, clockwise from top left, Zoë Kravitz in Saint Laurent, Olivia Wilde in Chloé, Emily Ratajkowski in Ludovic de Saint Sernin and Kendall Jenner in vintage Mugler.Clockwise from top left, Amy Sussman/Getty Images; Danny Moloshok/Reuters; Neilson Barnard/Getty Images; Amy Sussman/Getty ImagesHistorically, Vanity Fair’s annual event has allowed celebrities the freedom to be a little more risqué and experimental in their fashion choices after the comparatively conservative red carpet at the Oscars. In 2023, Emily Ratajkowski wore a long-sleeved, see-through chain mail gown by Feben. Hunter Schafer’s Ann Demeulemeester look from 2023 consisted of a single leather feather for a bandeau top and a silky slip skirt. In 2024, Vanessa Hudgens revealed her baby bump in a sheer black Alberta Ferretti dress with a cape.This year, though, naked dressing seemed to particularly thrive at the event.Zoë Kravitz wore a satin long-sleeved gown by Saint Laurent that exposed her bottom through a bead-embellished mesh cutout on the back of the dress.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.
