Julia Fox has come under fire for modeling for an Alexander Wang show. The latter dealt with multiple misconduct allegations in 2019 and stayed away from the fashion scene until April 2022. However, it seems like the industry has welcomed him back with open arms as high-profile celebrities were seen on his most recent show.
On February 8, Julia Fox walked the runway wearing Alexander Wang’s designs. She sported an oversized and sparkly black blazer, a pair of beige panties, and a sheer nude-mesh dress covered in crystal. The Uncut Gems star went sans bra, and strutted the “Cupid’s Door” runway show.
Julia Fox wore her hair straight and slicked it back. She also donned a bold red lip and clear heels.
Despite Julia Fox stunning the crowd that included Anna Wintour, Samira Nasr, and Steven Kolb, internet users were displeased to see her take part in Alexander Wang’s show.

Allegations against Alexander Wang explored as Julia Fox comes under fire
The San Franciso native came under fire in December 2020, when model Owen Mooney accused Wang of gr*ping him. Soon, stylist David Casavant revealed to The New York Times that he had a similar experience with Wang. Just a week later, lawyer Lisa Bloom announced that she was representing 11 men who alleged that Wang was inappropriate with them.
In a BBC interview, Keaton Bullen, a New York Parson’s School of Design student, alleged that he was assaulted by Wang in a lower Manhattan club. He revealed that the designer invited him to his table and offered a bottle of vodka to Bullen and his peers. He eventually led the student to the dance floor.
The alleged assault took place in the early hours of the morning. In the interview, Bullen said:
“All of a sudden he unz*pped my trousers, put his hands in my pants and started grabbing my p*nis in front of a bunch of people. I completely froze. He then said: “I want to take you home with me.” I felt weirded out… and removed myself from the situation as fast as possible.”
Another victim, Nick Ward, alleged that Alexander Wang gr*ped him at a Brooklyn Mirage nightclub in New York.
DJ Gia Garrison also revealed online that she had a similar encounter with the designer.
“I was dancing near him when he reached out his hand, grabbed my bikini bottoms and dr*gged it downward in front of everyone. As a trans woman with discomfort about certain parts of myself that I’ve since grown to love. I don’t want someone to exp*se my entire body like that.”
In the wake of the rising allegations, the designer issued a statement saying that he will “set a better example” and use his “influence to encourage others to recognize harmful behaviors.” He added:
“Life is about learning and growth, and now that I know better, I will do better.”
Julia Fox also recently showed support for Alexander Wang. When a fan asked whether walking for Alexander Wang goes against everything she stands for, she revealed that people need to “leave room for rehabilitation” for those who choose to “heal & learn from their mistakes.”
