Perfection

 

[gossiping]

wow i like this a lot it's gorgeous

 

[Not Plain Jane]

different look for her hair; i kind of like it. it's (ahem) growing on me, very clean to go with the more minimal and sleek look. i'd change the shoes and maybe the bag. but otherwise, i like!

 

[starblood]

Love the new hair! She looks like a doll

 

[nita-karoliina]

That last look is really nice. Something different! Love it.

Wow. The outfit is good, but that hair is horrible

Alexa Chung attends 2010 Trophee Des Arts Gala at The Plaza Hotel on December 9, 2010 in New York City.

I think her outfit is great - it definitely seems like a more mature version of her little-girl style (as many people here have been wishing for!), but her hair is just not working, pushed behind her ears like that. It was definitely an attempt at a sleek hairdo to suit the outfit, which was the right choice for this outfit, but it just does not work with the flat-looking hair behind the ears like that...

Anyway, hopefully some better, non-watermarked photos of this outfit will surface soon! I'd like to get a better look at it.

I'm not sure about the hair but I love her latest outfit!

Anna Wintour on China, Marc Jacobs on Dressing in Drag, and Alexa Chung on Her New Haircut

Last night, the French Institute-Alliance Française awarded Marc Jacobs with the Trophée des Arts award at their annual gala. Anna Wintour presented Jacobs with the prize. "Whenever we have lunch, I feel like I am playing a game of verbal ping-pong. He will throw everyone and everything into the conversation, from the wonderful work of John Currin and Rachel Feinstein, to his latest training regime, to the phenomenon that is known as Alexa Chung, to some new French political controversy (always lots of those)," she said in her speech. "At the end of it, I feel totally outclassed, out of touch, and certainly completely out of shape, but also at the same time, absolutely and wonderfully exhilarated because Marc is someone who makes you want to rush out and do things." Wintour also essentially confirmed reports that she was in China — a source of inspiration for Jacobs's spring 2011 Louis Vuitton collection — over Thanksgiving. "I’ve just come back from Shanghai and Beijing," she continued. "And everywhere I went, to dinners, meetings, museum visits, I heard the same thing: ‘Miss Wintour, do you know Marc Jacobs? Could you possibly get me Marc Jacobs’ autograph? A signed photograph? Please ask Marc Jacobs to come here and to collaborate with the Chinese artists.’ So Marc, on behalf of 1.3 billion Chinese, consider yourself invited."

Though Jacobs hasn't been traveling to Asia, he has been dressing in drag on occasion. Katie Grand, who styles Louis Vuitton shows and has an "incredible" collection of Marc Jacobs clothes, styled the designer in drag for the cover of Industrie magazine, shot by Patrick Demarchelier. "I think Industrie asked her to do a story, and she approached me and said, ‘What do you think about wearing Marc Jacobs from over the years?’ and I said, ‘Okay,’" explained Jacobs, who wore pants last night. So those were Grand's clothes that Jacobs wore. "I was just kind of shocked that Katie and I wear the same size in clothes and shoes and everything. But I had fun. I don’t take myself too seriously that way." He added, "I don’t really think of it as, like, drag. It’s funny, some friends of mine and I, a couple of years ago, we had a party where we all wore dresses. And they’re all kind of very masculine guys, so it was really funny to see them in dresses, not makeup or anything, but just dresses and high heels. And then I guess for Halloween I wore some Saint Laurent high heels and a tuxedo jacket and stockings."

Jacobs hasn't done any Christmas shopping — and doesn't necessarily plan to: "I like to give gifts to people when I kind of feel inspired to, not when the calendar says it’s time to." For the holidays he plans to travel to Cartagena with friends. His business partner Robert Duffy, meanwhile, will finally honeymoon with Alex Cespedes — whom he married in April — in Singapore, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand from December to January.

Jacobs brought Alexa Chung as his date last night. She had a new haircut but assured us it wasn't a "breakup haircut" or indicative of some other such life-changing event. "It was inspired by my horselike face, which was looking increasingly disgusting with every inch that was added, so I lopped it off for the sake of the jawline," she explained. "Hard-hitting news."

whats wrong with her new hair

 

[MussedPorcelain]

^ Oh, she's too tough on herself. That last quote made me sad. I'm sure reading such negative comments about her hair all over the internet didn't help. I personally really liked the messy outgrown hair that she just lopped off, but I was clearly outnumbered. It'll take a few weeks for this one to look natural, I think, but who knows?

I like this last outfit, assuming it's Marc Jacobs?
That Chanel pink thing was a bit of a disaster, though. Just completely wrong on all levels, but mostly the color.

 

[delightful]

i think her hair looks so much better long honestly like when she was on popworld. though her face was a lot fuller when it was long so maybe it wouldn't look good now..not a fan of the newest outfit either.

aww bless her. Cant believe someone as gorgeous as her is insecure about her looks!

 

[ng19]

what's with the hair ?

 

[irenabilo]

I love the new hair!!!

 

[Wolkfolk]

I love the last look, and her hair is much better styled this way.
I'm pretty sure, soon we'll all get use to it, Alexa has such a gorgeous face. And definitely not a "horselike" one.

A few more with Anna and Marc

I think she looks ill in those pics
Not a big fan of the outfit or the hair.

agreed. she looks so drawn - and the elongated collar and shorter hair only exaggerate it.

Chanel pink monstrosity 0. Hair and make up 9.
Last outfit - I love it. What is wrong with her hair? (the cut... not crazy about the colour but love the cut)
But... are they kitten heels?
Edit: Oh I think I saw that wrongly. In the last picture of the set with her with Anna and Marc I thought I saw a heel...but actually now I look closer I think she has her heel up in the hair and they're flats and I can see the other shoe behind it. *phew* avoided that controversy.
