In September 2023, Megan Fox redefined her street-style aesthetic during an outing in New York City, debuting a “red velvet” French bob that marked a sharp departure from her signature long tresses.
While the Jennifer’s Body actress is a known hair chameleon—experimenting with everything from Barbie pink to ash blonde—this structural shift to a vibrant, tousled bob provided the perfect high-contrast anchor for her edgy, pantless footwear ensemble.
Paired with fiancé Machine Gun Kelly in Tribeca, the look balanced an oversized masculine blazer with aggressive thigh-high snakeskin boots, proving that a major hair transformation is often the best accessory for a bold silhouette.

Behind the Look: How Megan’s Red Velvet Bob Came to Life
“We wanted a major hair change for Megan,” hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos told PopSugar. “We wanted to do something bold and very modern to highlight Megan’s strong personality.”
Giannetos used a semi-permanent hair dye, “Valentine mixed with flaming red shades,” from Lime Crime to achieve the red velvet French bob look. He styled it in tousled waves using the L’Oréal Paris Elnett hairspray.

Fall Fashion Statement: Megan’s Edgy Gray Blazer Dress
Stepping out for lunch with her fiancé, MGK, Megan Fox surprised fans by trading her waist-length ginger hair for a vibrant red bob against her muted gray blazer.
She looked edgy in the oversized, single-breasted charcoal-gray jacket, which she wore as a minidress to showcase her toned legs. The baggy number featured padded shoulders, wide lapels, and loose sleeves.
While she appeared to be braless, with her ample cleavage peeking out, the petite actress had on a low-cut black top underneath the boxy blazer dress.

Thigh-High Snakeskin Boots: Fox’s Edgy Footwear Choice
To up the ante, Fox embraced the pantless trend and finished off her striking fall-ready look with thigh-high snakeskin boots.
These over-the-knee boots have lace-up ties down the sides, almond toes, and high-block heels.
She drew further attention to her breasts by adorning her neck with Swarovski-encrusted, antiqued-brass necklaces from Dylan Lex. This New York City-based label offers “original, hand-crafted statement pieces that empower the women who wear them.”

Megan opted for the $640 “Remi” choker necklace with linked square-cut Swarovski crystals and the $420 “Quinn” necklace with clear crystals, signature Dylan Lex logos, and antique coins.
Chunky silver hoop earrings, sleek black sunglasses, and a structured, asymmetrical black leather handbag completed her look.
Her Mugler “Spiral Curve” embossed bag ($3,026) was the first handbag designed by creative director Casey Cadwallader for the French label.
It featured a silver metal top handle and a futuristic spiral design that resembled the cutouts seen in the brand’s apparel.

He completed his monochromatic blue denim ensemble with matching low-rise puffy cargo jeans, a blue belt, and blue-and-white sneakers.
