Julia Fox has never been one to shy away from an eye-catching beauty moment, especially when it comes to her hairstyles. See her best hair moments over the years here.

She's like a walking art exhibition.

In an era where it feels like everyone is making all of the same beauty choices, it’s a refreshing reprieve when someone embraces their unique points of view. And few stars are doing just that better than Julia Fox.

“As a hairstylist, I love someone who is open to pushing boundaries when it comes to beauty, this is why I am drawn to editorial looks, specifically Julia’s,” says celebrity hairstylist Arianna Chaylene Blean. “Collaboration between a stylist and their client is key, and you can tell that [each] look that she does has purpose and a true direction.” 

This direction typically comes from references and is built on years of trust between Fox and her hairstylist, John Novotny. “We've developed a really trusting relationship to the point where we can sort of read each other's minds when it comes to hair,” Novotny says. “When we glam, she will usually give me a couple ideas of the direction she wants to go that day, and even with that, we’re constantly sending each other reference imagery from movies and fashion, and we always like to put our own spin on it.”

The duo has currently been heavily inspired by the Victorian era, (Fox’s Flaunt Magazine cover is one of the latest examples of the era’s influence over her beauty direction), but Novotny says their favorite hairstyles on her are the more unconventional ones. “​​My favorite hair is when there’s something a little off about [the hairstyle],” they say. “I think that’s completely in line with Julia’s style for sure. Her looks are never too perfect.”

Fox’s hairstyles are usually helping to tell a story and for that reason, whether for a photoshoot or in a street-style look, so it’s not uncommon for the star to switch up her looks fairly often. “We love to play with wigs and extensions,” Novotny says. “Wigs are my favorite thing to do because it limits how long she has to sit in the glam chair and I can prep them beforehand, plus it’s really great for shoots when we want to tackle multiple looks in a short time frame. Plus it helps to limit the amount of heat used on her natural hair.”

Julia Fox's Voluminous Superhero-Inspired Hairstyle

One of Fox’s best hairstyles happens to also be one of Novotny’s favorites. “It was this superhero look we did for [her] show ‘Omg Fashun’ in April 2024,” they said. “It was a long black wig and I blew it out so it had a lot of height, all teased and away from her face. We also did a swirl in the center of her forehead to give it an element of fantasy. It was sort of a nod to Priscilla Presley—theatrical, campy, and beautiful. Also she looks amazing with dark hair.”

Julia Fox's Pin-Curl Mullet

That same month, Fox was spotted in a pin-curled-mullet, which is an incredibly editorial take on the ‘80s hairstyle that’s making a comeback. She paired the look with bleached brows, blue eyeshadow, and a pink lip color.

If you want to recreate the look, opt for a wig first before fully committing.

Also in March, Fox wore a yellow pin-up curl hairstyle, which Chaylene Blean says is one of her favorite looks from the star. “It’s hard to pick just one when [she] has so many to choose from,” she says. “Still, the Velveeta-yellow wig for one of her ‘OMG Fashun’ episodes is what I consider hair inspiration.”
