The 'I Actually Did It Myself' meme originated from a red-carpet interview with actress and model Julia Fox at the 2022 Vanity Fair Oscars After-Party. When asked about her signature heavy graphic eyeliner, Fox proudly stated, 'I actually did it myself,' sparking an immediate viral reaction across TikTok and Twitter. The clip became a symbol of chaotic confidence, used by internet users to ironically or genuinely claim responsibility for things that look unpolished, DIY, or unconventional. It has since evolved into a versatile reaction template for highlighting personal accomplishments that might look like a mess to others but represent a bold choice to the creator.
