Julia Fox's street style is some of the most controversial we've seen, including everything from vinyl condom boots [2] to a neck tie corset [3], so it's hardly a surprise that her swimwear follows suit. The 33-year-old Italian-American actress and model shared a weekend selfie on Instagram of herself rocking a Dilara Findikoglu [4] strappy bikini with silver chains affixed to the halterneck top and barely there bottom. Called the Mata Hari after the exotic dancer of the same name, the two-piece is made from metallic polyamide fabric with ruching at the front and back.
Fox could have chosen the swimsuit to play up her cherry-red hair [5], which appears to have been tinted a dark purple shade, or her matching berry plum lips. The mum-of-one [6] sported subtle smoky-blue eye shadow and her bleached brows, holding the camera as far away as possible to show off the skin-baring details of her bold and edgy design. You can barely make out a black leather handbag with a ball chain and grommets behind her, which is a far cry from your typical beach bag, but does her punk look plenty of justice.
Last month, Fox was photographed in an entirely sheer swimsuit from PrettyLittleThing [7] at the beach, which featured dramatic side and stomach cutouts and a cheeky thongkini [8] backside. Teamed with a shell necklace and oversize tinted sunglasses, the ensemble fell right in line with her avant-garde aesthetic. Of course, she's not the only celebrity to try out the see-through swimwear trend [9], which is also favoured by the likes of Pink, Kim Kardashian [10], and Irina Shayk.
