Star style: Alexa Chung


Can you tell a capital city by its front row? In New York, bronzed limbs and double-faced cashmere prevailed; in Milan, fur and pencil skirts; and in Paris, tousled hair and black tailoring. But in London...there's a melting-pot of current trends, from ingénue to goth, and a host of wacky accessories.

Vogue UK got that right.

And I think this girl best epitomises that London cool. Maybe not so much the goth trend, but she clashes so much texture and colours that there's nothing you can do but to love it. I know I do.

Loving the chic little-girl look. And I can imagine the striped cardigan would work so well when worn over the outfit.


















The look is made awesome by the ankle boots. She is, after all, the pioneer in rocking ankle boots.


















Stars are it! But she makes the print more grown-up with leather jacket and of course, once again, ankle boots.


















Loving this look - stripes with high-waist skirt. Classic and quirky.


















Who wouldn't want those legs if they looked this good in a mini skirt? She was seen wearing a canvas bag with this outfit in other pictures which gives it an extra street-casual feel.


















This is probably one of my favourite looks. It's so unexpected how she teamed a bohemian floral dress with a very preppy Luella blazer jacket. I also love the pink detail on the jacket's collar. It's simply stunning.


















Another mismatched outfit that's perfect - I love that there's a deep-blue, a grey and a tan mixed into one very pretty ensemble.


















This was her look that first caught my attention. The top tucked into the high-waist skirt, the blazer jacket and the flats - they're all so playfully perfect.


















The statement necklaces are so inspiring. It's an effortless nautical look that she's come to master.


















She's really rocking the flats these days. I love the statement huge-ass bag too.


















This is another one of my favourite looks. It's so cool the way she makes thigh-high socks work for a formal night event.


















Her signature mismatched look is shown once again here. I think the key to making this whole ensemble work is the denim dress; after all, denim goes with everything...


















There's something so cool and cute about this dress. It's not really visible here, but the top part of the dress is actually lined instead of just plain. Once again, showing that she mixes textures, prints and colours like no one would.

I think she's gorgeous, and her fashion sense is splendid... I thought when you told me she was asian?

She's 3/8 Asian. If you look at her close-up, you can see she has a little bit of Asian eyes going on.
