Alexa Chung, the British model and television presenter is one of the worlds style icons with girls everywhere trying to capture her ‘geek chic’ look. Chung was the first female to sport the now ultra trendy ombre hair, a hairstyle where the hair colour is lighter towards the ends of the hair with dark roots. Now Rachel Bilson, Kristin Cavallari and Jessica Beil have all followed suit, proving that Chung is a trend setter not a trend follower.
The presenter proves that you do not have to show flesh to be attractive, choosing to show legs instead of breasts when it comes to red carpet events. Alexa has that ‘I dont really care’ vibe which results in her style looking as if she just threw her outfit on, not really taking into consideration what other people think.
Her London fused wardrobe consists of basics and classic pieces such as the Burberry trench, the Breton top and peg leg trousers. Alexa is a big icon of Fashionolia’s simply because she wears what she wants and doesn’t conform to catwalk trends, happy in her own skin to wear what ever she pleases. With one of the world’s most enviable wardrobes and a Mulberry bag named in her honour, Alexa Chung is an unrivalled British style icon. Since moving stateside, her style status – and designer wardrobe – has notched up a gear and has wowed us with some beautifully pulled-together looks.
Daytime Look
Here Alexa has teamed a cute polka dot ra-ra skirt with a rock and roll inspired t-shirt tucked in. To keep the look streamlined Alexa has chosen to pull her waist in with a thin black waist belt. The tan belt and shoes add a little colour to the outfit and the black cardigan keeps her warm whilst tying the outfit together as a whole.
Night Time Style
For red-carpet events Alexa likes to try something a little different. Here she has teamed a simple black long sleeved top under a floral bandeau dress annd tights. Black Mary-Jane shoes are the ideal stapel to any girls wardrobe as they will never go out of fashion. The waist belt again shows off Alexa’s tiny waist and she doesn’t feel the need to show off inches of flesh. The key item in this outfit has to be the bag from Lulu Guiness, which has a cats face on the front. It is items like this that really set Alexa’s style apart from everyone elses.
Hair and Make-up
Alexa never really goes overboard when it comes to make up apart from when she want to make an impact by wearing red lips and even then she will tone everything else down. Here are two tutorials to show you how to achieve that gorgeous Alexa Chung make-up and hairstyle.

I think she has the most beautiful style. Perfect patterns, proportions, and use of accessories. Indie-bohemian and yet still on trend! She’s definitely one of my style muses: http://lavieboston.com/2010/05/11/style-icon-alexa-chung-2/.
