Megan Fox: From Sweatpants to Stilettos, The Actress Finds Her Fashion Identity
Los Angeles – Megan Fox has captivated audiences with her bombshell beauty ever since her breakout role in Transformers catapulted her to fame in 2007. But behind the glamorous red carpet looks, the actress has had a complex relationship with fashion and her own identity. In an exclusive interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Fox reveals that she went through a lengthy period of rejecting fashion and living in sweatpants as she grappled with existential questions of who she really was.
“For so long I was rejecting being famous and rejecting whatever this image was that was sort of hung on me, this person I was supposed to be,” Fox told Bazaar. “I really suffered with that existential question of, ‘well, who am I?'”
The star found herself running from fashion, wanting to express herself but unsure of how. Now, at 37 with a New York Times bestselling book of poetry under her belt, Fox has rediscovered her personal aesthetics and is relishing the chance to communicate through her clothing choices.
“Especially right now, I’m going through all these different phases of like, ‘what do I like and what can I wear that expresses how I’m feeling or what do I want or what I want to say in this moment?’ I’m learning to use fashion in a way that reflects who I am now,” Fox explained.
This fashion evolution has been evident across her recent press tour looks. To celebrate the launch of her poetry collection “Pretty Boys Are Poisonous,” Fox embodied boss glam energy in a range of slick monochrome ensembles. A mini shorts suit paired with red stilettos brought a vampy vibe to the Big Apple, while an olive green trench coat addededge to her outfit. Fox’s newly dyed red blunt bob – a striking switch from her signature ginger waves – nodded to her willingness to take risks and reinvent herself.
According to Fox, creating a multidimensional personal style that taps into different aspects of who she is has been immensely fulfilling. Whether it’s an all-black outfit that channels her darker inclinations or a pop of color that represents her creative spirit, her fashion choices now provide a window into the real Megan.
The actress mused that in the past, she dressed to fulfill expectations rather than showcase her authentic self. But now, with over 15 years of experience in the spotlight, Fox is defining herself on her own terms – stilettos and all.
As Fox continues to promote “Pretty Boys Are Poisonous,” we can’t wait to see what chic look she steps out in next. One thing is for certain – her days of hiding herself behind sweatpants are over. This is one star who knows exactly who she is and how to express that fierce, multifaceted essence through fashion. The world better watch out – Megan Fox has found her style stride at last!
