In that case you would do:
$( event.target, someContainer ).closest(".foo");
For example, if you didn't want to go beyond the body you could say:
$( event.target, document.body ).closest(".foo");
or if you don't want to go beyond some specific node (which you would
probably want to cache):
$( event.target, $(".bar")[0] ).closest(".foo");
