I love Dev. I met him the other day. So lovely and genuine.
Alexa looks best in that last photo when her fringe is fuller. I miss her fuller fringe.

She looks fantastic when her hair is short. She has hair I always wish I had... Sigh! But she looks great in any length, of course.

I remember when she first got it cut and no one was really sure whether they liked it or not. It does contribute to her style though. Brings her outfit together.

Here's the full text from Vogue -

Change is unsettling - terrifying, even- which explains why season after season we adapt our wardrobes only by degrees, embracing facsimile pieces that we know suit us, rather than rushing towards the new shape, the new colour, the new hemline. Take Alexa Chung: the former model, TV presenter and music lover (literally - she's dating the Arctic Monkeys' lead singer Alex Turner) has a thing for miniskirts. She wears them with such flair on London's party circuit that it has ensured her place as a current style pin-up. "I don't mind short. Famously," she deadpans. "I can never find jeans that fit me - it's far easier to find tights that fit." Usually, she pairs these with Russell & Bromley shoe-boots, Antipodium jackets or Chanel ballet pumps. Indeed, she turns up to the shoot in a short black Vanessa Bruno dress and a checked trapeze-linecoat she bought on the way. "It's from Juicy Couture - who would believe it?" she says.

Alexa is test-running the new ballerina-length skirt, which hits your leg just below the lower calf - seen in swishy, full form at Prada, Fendi and Marni, in tulle at Gaultier and straight at Sonia Rykiell. It isn't a natural length for a young woman with fantastic pins to show off. "I think I wore one when I was about nine," she says, "when my sister was into Nirvana, but not since. Perhaps with a Luella grandpa-style cardigan?" But she loves Chanel's sheer incarnation in navy organza with a dignity-saving mini underskirt. Its transparency means it still has the sex appeal and youthfulness of a mini, but it is demure, too. "I like the buttons on it, and the high waist. But I wish it was a little bit longer," she says, pinpointing a common unease with a length that is neither here nor there, but elegant nonetheless.

At Chanel, the skirt was teamed with a navy tweed jacket, neat hair and high heel, but Alexa wants to mess it up a bit, so first she adds her own stripy T-shirt (from London nautical store Arthur Beale), a pair of two-tone Chanel ballet pumps and a long gold necklace she made herself. "It looks early Princess Diana," she remarks. A white silk top is rejected ("too classic, too Ingrid Bergman"); next, she tries it with an old Talking Heads tee, a Meadham Kirchhoff tailored jacket and French Sole pumps. Alexa's less keen on the jacket- "too done"- but she loves the shoes and is so pleased with the skirt that she's tempted to find one of her own. "I would wear this outfit to Spitalfields, a gallery, anything. It's cool," she says. Fine praise indeed.
