Megan Fox’s Hottest Looks: From Red Carpets to Golden Beaches and Beyond

If you looked up the word “hot” in a dictionary and instead of a written definition, you found a photo of Megan Fox, we doubt anyone would be surprised.

The actor, author, proud mom and SI Swimsuit model has had an incredible career so far, gaining popularity in the early 2000s by starring in countless millennial classics like Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, The Transformers franchise and the greatest horror-comedy ever made, Jennifer’s Body (we said what we said). Fox is also known for her fearless fashion choices, often rocking jaw-dropping looks on the red carpet, social media and beyond.

So with that in mind, we’ve curated a list of Fox’s most daring, sultriest fashion moments over the years. Oh, no—no need to thank us!

Return to Instagram (2026)

Fox made a major comeback in 2026, returning to Instagram in March after wiping her grid in 2024. She nearly broke the internet with her first few posts, which embraced an edgy, all-black look. Since then, she’s shared new snapshots every few weeks. We especially loved this playful outfit’s twist on her typical monochromatic style, thanks to the plush green coat.

MTV Video Music Awards (2021)

The sparkling, figure-hugging Mugler gown was made of sheer fabric with glittering details, allowing Fox’s undergarments to peek through. Like, this was truly a “naked” dress—Carrie Bradshaw, take notes. Fox channeled the early 2000s with a sultry wet-hair look, embracing golden tones in her makeup. Alongside striking black eyeliner, her eyelashes delivered an elevated version of the classic cat-eye.

SI Swimsuit Launch Party (2023)

The actress channeled Morticia Addams in this breathtaking black gown by LaQuan Smith at SI Swimsuit’s 2023 Launch Party. With long sleeves, a plunging scoop neckline and a sheer panel across her midriff, the piece was sultry and elegant. While Fox is known for her long dark locks, her red-hot ginger era was equally gorgeous.

Time100 Next Gala (2022)

The star dripped luxury at the Time100 Next Gala in 2022 thanks to this golden gown by Maison Yeya. The structured piece featured a tube-top-style neckline, which Fox chose to keep bare for a more sensual vibe, as well as a thigh-high slit up her leg. Her red locks were parted down the middle, and her makeup was decidedly more intense, with Fox opting for a smokier eye paired with a deep red matte lip.

Vanity Fair Oscar Party (2023)

Fox donned this black gown by Miss Sohee for the annual Vanity Fair Oscar Party in 2023. With a plunging, scalloped neckline and unique, clamshell-esque detailing around the hips, this number was a true showstopper. Her long red hair only heightened the majestic mermaid vibes, while her makeup remained classic Fox, showcasing arched brows, strong blended eyeshadows and nude lips.

Met Gala (2021)

The sparkling red gown by Dundas—which the actress told Vogue was inspired by the 1992 horror romance film Bram Stoker’s Dracula—was as intricate as it was gorgeous. Crafted in an appropriately blood-red shade with criss-cross corset detailing up the sides and down the front, the piece was easily one of the best looks at the star-studded event that year. And the bangs?! They’re the perfect statement-making accessory for this already incredible ensemble.

Billboard Music Awards (2022)

Hey, did someone mention bangs? Fox also embraced the signature hairstyle at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards, pairing the statement-making cut with an equally striking gown. Designed by David Koma, the chic black-and-silver number featured an off-the-shoulder bustline and coordinating gloves for an unforgettable Old Hollywood-inspired silhouette.

SI Swimsuit: the Dominican Republic (2023)

You didn’t think we made a list of Fox’s most daring fashion moments and forgot to include at least a few from her gorgeous photo shoot in the Dominican Republic, did you? In a cropped graphic tee by Agent Provocateur and high-legged black bikini bottoms by GCDS, the star posed while perched atop the back of a truck, her signature dark locks dampened and styled to one side for a casual, relaxed final photo.

Wearing a bikini top reminiscent of scales and seriously sparkly body jewelry—both by Ryan Storer—and baby-pink bottoms by IAMGIA, Fox took our breath away on the beach while posing for photographer Greg Swales. Speaking with the brand at the time, the actress opened up about the specific hopes she had for her SI Swimsuit debut, telling the magazine on set, “I hope that the photos are beautiful and that the frequency that comes off of them is just a healthy, good girl. I hope people take away that I’m a thoughtful, articulate, deep person.”

Finally, Fox wore a beautiful pastel pink netted dress by Ren Haixi, paired with those same baby pink bikini bottoms from IAMGIA, while walking on the beach at sunset. Her makeup for this shot was especially beautiful, with a natural, soft look front and center. The result was a final snapshot so perfect it deserves to be framed and hung in a fashion-forward museum.
