Even after Julia Fox and Kanye West’s relationship ended, many still loved Fox and watched what she did. But, why are people so obsessed with Julia Fox? What makes her so appealing?

With several posts accumulating hundreds of thousands of likes on TikTok, many are obsessed with weird women and their stories, usually weirder the better. And although this is fiction, some are seeing this weirdness being portrayed in Fox, who is unafraid to be herself no matter what, especially with her expressive eye makeup and fashion.  Although men are often allowed to be odd and express themselves, many do not hold the same energy for women to express themselves as well.
