"I've got ten pairs of trainers. That's one for every day of the week"
About this Quote
As a model-turned-pop celebrity, Fox’s intent is less “I am organized” and more “I am winning.” Trainers (not heels) matter, too. They signal a pivot from glossy pin-up to street-ready celebrity: accessible, sporty, youthful, a touch lad-mag cheekiness without the formal armor of high fashion. It’s consumption dressed as relatability.
The subtext is about permission. Women in public life are often expected to justify what they own, what they wear, what they spend. Fox skips the apology and makes the excess playful, almost innocent. The miscount becomes a shield: if it’s a gag, you can’t prosecute it as vanity. Underneath is the era’s tabloid contract: you’re allowed to have too much as long as you present it as harmless fun.
It also captures a particular British pop sensibility: status announced through mundane objects, delivered deadpan, then undercut with a grin. The point isn’t the trainers. It’s the performance of having options.
