Kanye West Julia Fox Memes Explode After The Two Were Spotted Together In Paris
Over the weekend, recently divorced rapper Kanye West appeared at Paris Fashion Week with his newest girlfriend, Julia Fox, known for her role in Uncut Gems as Adam Sandler's questionable love interest. The two were seen together on the red carpet of the event sporting matching denim outfits. On "Day 24" of their relationship, this is the first time they debuted together on purpose, inspiring memes and reactions across social media.
A lot of memes about the couple appeared on Twitter, where many users talked about Fox's makeup — replete with lots of eyeshadow, mascara and eyeliner, making her eyes dark and angular. Many meme creators compared her to the character Nightman from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia where Mac is sporting a similar look. Others compared her to Robert Pattinson's look in the new Batman trailer, who also looked ominous and emo. However, many online did not like the makeup too, asking, "Does her makeup artist hate her?"
Others online thought Fox was potentially being dressed by Kanye, with some even comparing her to "Kanye walking a dog." Overall, this circles back to the general discussion online of the two being a publicity stunt, masterminded by some hidden PR genius. This wide-spread hypothesis, along with everything else visually, had many users on Twitter labeling the couple as cringeworthy, comparing them to other viral cringe-couples like Angel Mamii and John Dees.
On TikTok, the two were recorded when they stepped out of a black van, surprising the recorder of the video and others surrounding her. People within the video's comment section initially thought she was actress Millie Bobbie Brown from Stranger Things, inspiring memes that referenced rapper Drake's infamous and suspect friendship with Brown.
In essence, all of this discussion about Ye and Fox stems from the larger trend of posting memes about Kanye's recent split with Kim Kardashian. Memes about his latest entanglement seem to be a variant reaction of Kardashian now dating Saturday Night Live's notorious sickly skinny white boy, Pete Davidson. In fact, last week, the tension between Davidson and Kanye was trending heavily after Ye leaked a snippet from his upcoming album DONDA 2, where he states in it that he could beat up Kim's newest love interest.
The drama's highly memeable, with other photos from the red carpet also going viral, like one of Kanye, Fox, Tyler The Creator, Pusha T, Pharrell Williams and Gunna all sitting next to each other, watching models pass by them. Ye and Fox were also photographed with notable fashion designer Rick Owens and his partner this morning.
As Kanye and Fox continue to be publicized, the question within memes is whether or not they will start to be viewed as #RelationshipGoals. Right now, however, the culture seems to be against them, with Kanye and Fox memes mostly harking on the fixed nature of their romance as well as Kanye's messy, relationship past with other women who allude to white, BBL discourse.
