Megan Fox is no stranger to making headlines with her daring fashion choices, but her latest look might be her most iconic yet. The 37-year-old star attended the People’s Choice Awards 2024 on Sunday night, where she presented the award for Sci-Fi/Fantasy Show of the Year to ‘Loki’ alongside Joe Manganiello. But it was her outfit that stole the show, as she channeled her ‘Jennifer’s Body’ character in a white strapless Vivienne Westwood gown with a cowl neck and a side slit. She accessorized the dress with a black ribbon choker, a metal mesh hand bracelet, and a glossy red lip, creating a striking contrast between the innocent white and the dark accents.
Fox took to Instagram to share photos of her stunning look, and revealed the inspiration behind it. She captioned the post, “jennifer’s prom dress x final fantasy cosplay (cursed bride edition)”, referring to her role as Jennifer Check, a possessed high school cheerleader who kills boys, in the 2009 cult classic ‘Jennifer’s Body’. The movie, written by Diablo Cody and directed by Karyn Kusama, has gained a loyal fan base over the years for its feminist themes, dark humor, and horror elements. Fox’s outfit was a clear homage to the scene where Jennifer wears a lacy white gown to her prom, before seducing and murdering her date.
Fox’s fans and followers were quick to praise her for the clever reference, and to quote lines from the movie in the comments section. “you are killing people” … “no, i’m killing boys,” one fan wrote, while another said, “hell is a teenage girl”. Some also noted the similarity between Fox’s look and the Final Fantasy video game series, where some characters wear white dresses and black chokers.
Megan Fox has been making waves with her bold fashion choices and her relationship with Machine Gun Kelly
This is not the first time that Fox has turned heads with her red carpet appearances. The actress, who is engaged to rapper Machine Gun Kelly, has been rocking some of the most memorable outfits of the year, from a barely-there metal mesh minidress at the MTV Video Music Awards, to a pastel pink corset dress at the Billboard Music Awards, to a see-through chainmail dress at a Grammys viewing party. She has also experimented with different hairstyles and colors, such as a fiery red bob and a bubblegum-pink hue.
Megan Fox and MGK, who met on the set of their upcoming movie ‘Midnight in the Switchgrass’, have been inseparable since they confirmed their relationship in June 2020. The couple, who share a matching tattoo that reads “the darkest fairy tale”, have been flaunting their love and chemistry on various occasions, such as performing together on stage, kissing in public, and gushing about each other on social media. They also made headlines for their Super Bowl weekend in Las Vegas, where they partied with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at a nightclub.
Megan Fox has also been vocal about her connection with MGK, whom she called her “twin flame” in an interview with Lala Kent. She said that they have a “once in a lifetime thing” and that they are “two halves of the same soul”. She also revealed that she knew he was her soulmate the moment she saw him, and that she felt a “most profound, earth-shattering, soul-shaking connection” with him.
Megan Fox has spoken about how she identifies with her ‘Jennifer’s Body’ character on a number of levels
Megan Fox’s tribute to her ‘Jennifer’s Body’ character is not surprising, considering how much she has expressed her affinity with the role. In an interview with WWD last year, she said that she is “both” the poppy cheerleader and the demon sorceress that Jennifer represents. “Before she was turned into a demon and she became this Goth icon, [Jennifer] was this poppy, typical cheerleader, Forever 21 girl. She was that typical girl who then there was this other side to her where she became the sort of demon sorceress. And I am both of those things, and I always have been,” she said.
Megan Fox also said that she relates to Jennifer’s “rage” and “revenge” against the patriarchy, and that she feels a responsibility to empower women and girls through her work. “I think that’s why I’m here, is to be a voice for women and to be a voice for girls and to help them reclaim their power and their autonomy and their sexuality and their sensuality and their spirituality and their intellect and all of these things that have been taken from us,” she said.
Megan Fox has also shown her support for the movie and its fans, who have been campaigning for a sequel or a reboot for years. She said that she would love to reprise her role as Jennifer, and that she thinks the movie deserves more recognition and appreciation. “I don’t think it ever really got a fair chance. I think it’s actually a really good movie. I think it’s a cult classic,” she said.
