Julia Fox divides opinion as she creates 'dress' out of handpicked leaves

Julia Fox has caused a stir after posting pictures of herself wearing a dress made entirely out of leaves.

The 32-year-old actress showcased the bizarre outfit with a post on TikTok, saying she was "obsessed" with the two-piece ensemble, which is comprised of handpicked leaves, resin and chains.

"Hey guys, so I'm obsessed with leaves and I go to the park every day. So I've been seeing the leaves change and I just got really inspired," Fox said in a voiceover on her video. "And then I called my BFF Emma, who is an artist and a resin master."

"We cleaned off the leaves and then she started mixing the resin together and we were gonna freeze these leaves in time. So we just paint them really quickly before it oxidizes," she said, over footage of Emma painting the leaves.

"And then we just kind of like made a little makeshift rack out of poster board and let them all sit there to dry."

The model added that the leaves "are so pretty and leaves are so important".

"Like, they just rake them up and blow them away. But it's really tree food, and you know, bug food."

She went on to show off some leaf earrings made of mulberry leaves, before showing footage of how she constructed part of the top part of her outfit with a glue gun.

She added that chains and hooks were used to tie it altogether "through the loop of the stem".

"I kind of want it to be, like, body jewelry more than, like, clothing, you know what I mean?" she explained. "Oh, then we want it to make it look like the leaves were falling since it is the fall 2022 dress."

Julia concluded that she was "kind of obsessed" with the ensemble. "I don't know if it's really wearable 'cause my booty was all out in it, but I'm obsessed with it and it was really a labor of love," she added.

Signing off her video, Julia reminded fans that "anything can be clothes".

"And now that we're entering some -- we are in dark times -- we all need to learn how to be crafty."

It was a mixed reaction from fans, with many joking in the TikTok comments section.

"Giving Adam & Eve a run for their money," one wrote.

Others praised Julia for being an "innovative queen" and labeled her creation "beyond epic".
