Though their connection lasted just a brief period of weeks the romance between Julia Fox and Kanye West created significant impact.
After West finished his divorce from Kim Kardashian during early 2022 the couple instantly became prominent in media reports.
Fox created fame through her turn in Uncut Gems while she regularly appeared with West at numerous major public occasions.
She was often dressed in bold and extravagant outfits, but behind the scenes, she felt like a “show monkey.”
The 2023 published memoir Down the Drain shows West closely managed what Fox wore in public from the standpoint of the memoir author.
She alleges West employed professionals who selected every piece of clothing she had to wear as she had no authority in her outfit choices.
Fox recalls a moment when a stylist unexpectedly showed up during a date with a “mountain of clothes.” It puzzled her when West avoided voicing his dislike for her outfit by forcing her through a complete clothing transformation.
According to Fox West influenced her both physically and fashionably beyond what he styled. The outfit clipping to his preferences led him to propose giving her surgery to enhance her breasts.
At that time Fox rejected the surgery proposal from West despite becoming a new mother before their relationship began.
When I stand before the mirror I examine my body which bears the marks of having given birth. According to her memoir she analyzed her body in the mirror while thinking her features were fine.
West tends to exercise control over the physical appearance of his romantic partners throughout his relationships.
Since becoming his wife Bianca Censori has attracted media attention because of her clothing choices becoming progressively more revealing.
During the 2025 Grammy Awards Censori dramatically wore a fur coat which she subsequently discarded to expose a revealing outfit.
The sheer material of her dress exposed her body completely causing viewers to wonder if West still had authority over her appearance.
West has not addressed if he provided direction to Censori regarding her Grammy outfit selection. Multiple observers have noticed how their love partners continually change their appearance after dating West.
Fox remains filled with remorse about her extremely brief relationship with West.
I truly wish I could reverse that entire romantic connection in life. I hate it! The brief romance affected her deeply as she described it would endure throughout her entire lifetime.
Following their separation West sought to make Censori sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). The legal offer from West received no response because she planned to tell her truth while keeping control over her independence.
The revelation of her story has generated public discussions about how celebrities maintain control over their romantic relationships.
Viewers consider that the case demonstrates how power imbalances develop in romantic relationships where one person has excessive authority.
Fox declares her preference to avoid being known only for her past relationship with Kanye West. Her goal is to forge ahead independently while recovering the aspects that define her.
