Julia Fox turned heads on the streets of New York City on Tuesday, donning an unconventional pair of sunglasses that sparked comparisons to Ato Boldon’s iconic shades from the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
The 34-year-old actress left her Manhattan apartment, drawing attention to her eclectic outfit, which consisted of a cropped silver cardigan over a necktie t-shirt and low-rise capri pants.
While her entire ensemble was full of eye-catching elements, her futuristic sunglasses stole the show, with many noting their resemblance to those worn by Ryan Pinkston in the 2003 movie Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over.
Others drew parallels between Fox’s shades and those worn by Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson during warmups in 2022.

Even Flavor Flav wore a similar pair while performing in Switzerland in 2003.
According to reports, Oakley Over The Tops, which retail for around $1,500-$3,000, are likely the brand behind Fox’s shades.
Boldon’s iconic sunglasses, which he wore to the 1996 Olympics, were dubbed “space-age eyewear” by commentators, and he has since said that Oakley was a brand that pushed the envelope and encouraged people to think differently about fashion.
Since becoming a household name following her brief romance with Kanye West, Fox has consistently pushed the boundaries of fashion, often taking risks with her style choices.

Fox has spoken about her approach to fashion, saying that she believes in being fearless and not caring what others think.
“I think just being fearless, not giving a hoot, doing what I feel like doing, and not caring about whether society thinks it’s normal or not. If I think it’s cool, then it’s cool,” she said in a recent interview.
Fox also credited her upbringing in the city, surrounded by gay culture and queer culture, for her confidence in her fashion choices.
Earlier this week, Fox was accused of subtly shading West by wearing Gap amid their ongoing feud.
