Actress and model Julia Fox has slammed the recently held Met Gala, branding the ceremony “outdated” and ridiculous. Fox claims that the show has taken a non-inclusive approach to invited guests for a long time.
He also slammed Met Gala host Anna Wintour for choosing to honor the late controversial fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld, stating that she was “upholding the supremacy and ideals of imperialism” while calling for Wintour to step down from her post.
Fox, who revealed that she was never invited to the star-studded event, even though she could be considered a fashion icon in her own right, insisted that there was a “political” angle to the people invited to the event.

Julia Fox Calls Out Met Gala For Honoring Lagerfeld

The “No Sudden Move” actress has slammed the Met Gala for paying tribute to the late Karl Lagerfeld. Lagerfeld, the German fashion designer and former creative director of Chanel, who died in 2019 at the age of 85, was honored by the Met Gala, which dedicated this year’s event to his legacy.
According to Daily Mail, Fox, 33, expressed her disappointment and criticism of the Met Gala’s decision, pointing out that Lagerfeld was “upholding supremacy and imperial ideals.”
The controversial fashion icon has been accused of making several misogynistic, Islamophobic and racist comments. He reportedly also shamed German supermodel Heidi Klum, saying she was “too heavy, with too big breasts,” along with singer Adele, whom he labeled “a little too fat.”

Lagerfeld particularly downplayed the #MeToo movement, saying he was “sick” of accusations by Harvey Weinstein and other industry bigwigs accused of sexual abuse, telling victims to “join the nuns” instead of making accusations.
The fashion industry has long been criticized for its lack of diversity and inclusion. Fox’s comments shed light on the issue of honoring controversial figures in the industry, suggesting that the same ideals of exclusion are still displayed by the Met Gala every year.
“There are no trans people of color or trans people there,” he said.
‘Met Gala Never Talks To Me’
MEGA
Despite growing popularity in the entertainment and fashion industry, Fox shared that she was never invited to the Met Gala, seemingly pointing the finger at the event’s host, Anna Wintour.
The Met Gala is an annual fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. The event is known for its high fashion, celebrity guests and unique themes and is considered one of the most important fashion events of the year.
However, despite being a well-known personality in the entertainment industry, Fox has yet to receive an invitation to the prestigious event.
“Honestly, the Met Gala never spoke to me,” she said. “I mean, look who’s running it.”
However, the “Uncut Gems” star shared that even if it was the other way around and he was invited, he wouldn’t honor it because he didn’t want to support the display of excessive money and privilege. .
“If it was about fashion, I’d be there, but it’s not,” he said, following Daily Mail. “It’s about politics, privilege, who your parents are, and how much money you make.”
Julia Fox Calls for Anna Wintour to Back Down

Fox also ripped into Met Gala host Anna Wintour, calling on her to step down from her post and allow “fresh” hands to lead the event to greater heights.
The “PVT Chat” cast alleges that Wintour, who doubles as Vogue’s editor-in-chief, has used the lavish party as a cover to display excessive “privilege and wealth.” He has been the face of the event since 1995 and has been credited with turning it into one of the most anticipated fashion events.
However, Fox has taken issue with Wintour’s continued association with the Met Gala, calling for her to step down in favor of a “fresh” replacement to guide the event into the modern age.
“He [Anna Wintour] just won’t stop – how long will he go on?” the actress questioned, adding that Wintour’s productions had become more “commerce than art.”
Fox added, “There’s a connection. American Vogue is not my favorite: it needs more fun, freshness and new energy.”
Julia Fox Is Considering Starting A Rival Event
MEGA
The actress revealed her thoughts on launching a rival event to match the Met Gala, focusing on supporting designers for their work and giving them the much-needed publicity they need.
“I want to support fashion designers. My friends and I hope to start our gala and help fund the less fortunate and single mothers,” he said.
Fox added, “I just want to tell people don’t aspire to be like this person [who went to the Met], aspire to be yourself. There is a boy or girl out there who will look at me and not be ashamed. Fashion and art are about vision.”
