Perhaps one of the patron saints of the dark mermaid trend is Julia Fox. Everything about this look — the look she wore to the Diesel fashion show in Milan this September — is awash in the dark mermaid aesthetic. First, her hair. Streaked with a grayish, icy blue and slicked down with product, Fox's hair looks as though she's emerged from a deep ocean ravine to walk the red carpet.
Next, her signature bold, graphic eyeliner, bleached brows, and coral blush pair well with her hair, emphasizing her features and invoking a supernatural scene. And her outfit, a slick, painted jacket, matching mini skirt, and gloves, features a glistening effect, such as that of the ocean. The tight fit of the outfit looks almost like a second skin, while the jacket also features bodice cups, reminiscent of the seashell bras mermaids have oft been depicted wearing in popular culture.
