As stated by the most reliable source on the net, Urban Dictionary [insert suspicious eye emoji, here], 'normcore' is defined as 'the act of deconstructing fashion by purposely dressing blank or dull.' And said 'normie' subculture also translates into the world of beauty, too, as demonstrated perfectly by Julia Fox's most recent hair transformation. A collision of worlds we never thought we'd see, peeps.
In her three most recent social media posts, Julia is seen to be rocking a series of polarising yet equally head-turning beauty looks. Think: avant-garde makeup and a variety of otherworldy hairstyles. However, taking to her Instagram Story just short of 24 hours ago, the actor has seemingly ditched the lens of creativity, self-expression and identity, and instead, stripped it all back for a, well, normal hairdo, to put it quite bluntly.
Bye-bye platinum blonde tones, fantastical pixie cuts and raven-coloured bouffants to rival that of Amy Winehouse's and hello natural-looking chest-length curls!

This makeover is certainly one to note and one that we think makes Julia look completely unrecognisable, wouldn't you agree?
Having said that, knowing Julia and her passion for experimentation, this hairstyle could perhaps be a wig. After all, she is prone to a temporary switcheroo; just take her Cosmopolitan UK cover look as a prime example... wink, nudge.
So, with that in mind, you best believe we'll be keeping a close eye on all of Julia's social media pages to see whether or not she keeps the normcore look.
