Julia Fox Recalls Shoplifting Experience And Getting Banned From Bloomingdales

Julia Fox has come clean about her scandalous past.

The actress and model opened up about getting "permanently banned" from a famous American luxury department store after getting caught stealing during her teenage years. Luckily, that did not stop her from getting a festive campaign with the outfit nearly ten years after being caught in the criminal act. 

Shortly after she did the unexpected by walking the runway for the Italian fashion brand, Dsquared2, Fox talked about another "full circle" moment with Bloomingdale's. Speaking about the occurrence, the "Uncut Gems" star, who briefly dated rapper Kanye West following his divorce from Kim Kardashian, told ET Canada's Shreya Khanna:

"I've had so many full circle moments like that. I actually got caught shoplifting at Bloomingdale's, and I was 15 and I was permanently banned from the store. And then like eight years later, I did like a little holiday campaign for them."

Despite the model and the brand burying the hatchet, she acknowledged that she still felt agitated about entering the store. The 33-year-old stated:

"And I remember when I came up, when I walked in in the morning, they asked for my I.D. and I was like, 'Oh my God, are they going to like, look in the system and see that I'm like, bad?' And they didn't, they let me in."

The Italian-American beauty then added that she "still kind of" lives with the trauma, holding her breath and looking "straight ahead" whenever she walks by police officers. Further reflecting on her tainted past, Fox shared:

"Like I have so much trauma from being arrested and stuff. But, you know, it's like you still carry those, like, scars from your past. Like, you know, I am, I guess, a different girl now, but I still feel like the same little 13 raggedy, 13 year old."

Besides dealing with this trauma, the "Something You Said Last Night" actress shocked the public when she agreed with Drew Barrymore's comments about looking forward to unpacking her parental trauma once her mom and fellow actress, Jaid, died.

"I have been vulnerable and tried to figure out a complicated, painful relationship while admitting it is difficult while a parent is alive. And, for those of us who have to figure that out in real-time, cannot wait, as in they cannot wait for the time, not that the parent is dead," the talk show host said.

While Fox commented, "I can relate, lmao," under a clip of the admission, fans quickly assumed she was referring to her mother, Ann Darwin, with whom she allegedly has a strained relationship.

The "PVT Chat" star showed off her quirky fashion style by displaying her long legs and curves in a form-fitting, strapless graphic mini dress. She paired the outfit with a brown-toned leather jacket, orange-tinted glasses, minimalistic jewelry, and open-toed, silver heels.

The "Jatt & Juliet 2" screen goddess finished with two bags — a rhinestone-themed gold purse and a small, white bag — and a stylish hat made from the same fabric as her dress. As The Blast noted, Fox's ensemble was a deliberate choice as it honored the Diesel and Tom of Finland capsule collection released in celebration of this year's Pride.

She had previously donned the dress to the Diesel x Tom of Finland Foundation event, which was held in New York City late last month. Not only did the event result in the unveiling of 17 new pieces, but it also saw the launch of the AllTogether Clubhouse on June 21. 

According to Diesel's website, the clubhouse is "a homecoming show celebrating the history of Queer culture in New York, from nightlife and the erotic arts to uncompromising activism."

As for the capsule, it was reported that it "amplifies the message of freedom of expression, sexuality, and individualism — in this case, specifically celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community — that has always been a key pillar for the brand."
