Kanye West and Julia Fox might be one of Hollywood’s newest couples, but they’re already in sync style-wise.

For their first date night in NYC on Tuesday — during which they saw Jeremy O’Harris’ “Slave Play” before dining at Carbone — the “Uncut Gems” actress donned a black leather coat, tight mock-neck top ($495) and croc-embossed “Hourglass” bag ($2,350) from the rapper’s favorite fashion brand, Balenciaga.

Fox, 31, also wore stretchy black Miaou pants ($265) featuring hip cutouts and skinny straps that created the illusion of an exposed thong.

The polarizing throwback trend’s been endorsed by plenty of other stars, including Dua Lipa, Hailey BaldwinJennifer LopezBeyoncé — and perhaps most notably, West’s estranged wife, Kim Kardashian.

Just a few months ago, Fox also happened to wear the same sheer striped Jean Paul Gaultier dress made famous by the Skims founder at the 2018 People’s Choice Awards.

In another telling sign that things are going swimmingly for West, 44, and the actress so far, Fox rocked a Balenciaga one-piece on the beach after the pair’s first night out in Miami last week.

Page Six was the first to confirm that the duo are dating. “They both just got out of their former relationships, and they’ve helped each other recover immensely,” a source close to Fox told us exclusively. “They’re kind of kindred spirits, and it’s cool to watch.”

Interestingly, Kardashian’s been wearing more Balenciaga than ever since filing for divorce from West last February.

In addition to sporting the label’s second-skin catsuits on awards-show stages and NYC streets alike, the 41-year-old Skims founder even brought designer Demna Gvasalia as her date to the 2021 Met Gala, where she wore an all-black masked look inspired by her ex.
