Alexa Chung

I think it's a terrible dress and also the styling is lacking. The makeup and shoes are nice though.
 
I wanted her to wear Erdem so I like the dress but I agree it would be better without the sleeves and also more fitted. Love the hair and shoes but I totally adore her lipstick :wub:

WWW UK: Alexa, you’ve been a super-fan of WhoWhatWear for quite some time now, what is it that you like about the site?
AC: I first heard about them because, in a very narcissistic way, I knew that they were featuring me! I was being asked to answer these questions on what I was wearing and I was like ‘Who are these people and why do you they want to know?’. But also they were one of the first websites to feature street style so prominently, and in that respect I think many blogs and instagram accounts have now emulated that eye for curation. I like the tone, I like the voice and it’s an amazing compendium of everything you need to know about style. And that’s also what I enjoy; it’s not about fashion necessarily but style - how different people express their personal style. It’s non-judgemental.
WWW UK: And what of your personal style right now? We know you have a reportedly large amount of navy jumpers…
AC: I really do. Now it’s cream Aran sweaters as well - similar but a little bit different. I like &Daughter’s at the moment, they’re amazing. I tried to order one yesterday but they’ve sold out, so, ahh, too late to the party.

WWW UK: In terms of your winter style then, what’s the vibe for this year?
AC: I really will give up on trying! I just got a Fjallraven jacket which is like a sleeping bag with arms as I’ve decided that I don’t think I can live in New York without being more practical about it. It’s miserable trying to survive the winter there and look nice. I feel like hair has a lot to do with how good you look in the winter; if you have long thick hair or like interesting curly hair, or just volume in general, you look much nicer in a simple layered situation. If you are blessed like me with horribly thin, you know, grease wefts, then sometimes winter can be a real challenge!
WWW UK: Well we’ve never noticed that! You looked incredible in Erdem last night at the British Fashion Awards too…
AC: I loved it. Wasn’t it nice? I was unsure as to whether I could pull it off as I went to that show and adored every single look but there were obviously easier ones to wear. But that is a spring/summer 2016 collection and it was the BFAs… so it seemed the most seasonally appropriate and occasion appropriate.

WWW UK: Who are the other British designers on your go-to list?
AC: I’m wearing a Stella McCartney coat tonight, I really love her relaxed tailoring and understated chic. Obviously Christoper Kane, J.W. Anderson, Charlotte Olympia… I know Tabitha Simmons is based in New York but she is British and I love her shoes. Shrimps is very cool.
WWW UK: And what about the Great British High Street? Do you shop on it?
AC: Yes! Topshop. Zara. M&S – get those knickers and tights. Gap sometimes can be good. Zara I think do really great clothes that are fashion forward that you can mix into your look or not even - I’ve got really lovely dresses from Zara where people are like ‘Is that Chloe?’.
WWW UK: Obviously thousands of savvy girls take style cues from you, but do you ever look to anyone else for inspiration?
AC: I definitely admire a lot of people. But I don’t consciously make an effort to follow or emulate what someone’s wearing. I always think Kate Bosworth looks amazing, she was wearing an Erdem dress last night too, Diane Kruger always looks brilliant, Solange always has interesting style, Kate Moss obviously – she is the Queen, the original, legend. I think maybe subconsciously that feeds into my personal style but not necessarily directly. I’ll think ‘they were brave enough to try that’ it inspires me to, you know, push the boundaries of what I thought I was looking for.

WWW UK: Are you an online shopping girl or do you still like to actually head out to the stores?
AC: A bit of both depending on how much time I have, you can’t always mooch around Liberty’s… I really like Villoid [Alexa’s co-founded social shopping app] actually!
WWW UK: But, of course! So how has setting this app up changed the way you shop?
AC: It’s meant that I buy more because I’m working on filtering out what’s good and bad and in the process of that, because we have such amazing affiliate sales, we sell a lot of brilliant stuff from MyTheresa, Reformation, I’m on there like ‘Ooh, that Valentino flat is very good isn’t it?’. It’s a bit of a nightmare!
A nightmare we’d gladly get involved in. Thanks Alexa!

Are they still together? Alex can barely dress himself let alone someone else.

Love her look at the WhoWhatWear event.
 
Y'all forget that Alexa is more famous than him. Nobody knows nothing about Alexander since True Blood ended because he does bad indie films, don't know why he doesn't get better works because he's not a bad actor :rolleyes:. Anyway, we're here to talk about Alexa's style and work, not about her personal life

I'm no fan of Alex, but I wouldn't say either one is more famous than the other. They're about the same, if in different arenas. Most people know Alex from True Blood; it wasn't that long ago and the show was quite popular. Also, Alex's last indie film Diary of a Teenage Girl was quite successful.

That said, I don't get the way she's posing in the last pics but the outfit isn't bad. Also a fan of the WhoWhatWear look.
 
I agree , Alex may be concentrating on indie projects since TB ended but he still has a following I think. He's got the big Tarzan remake coming up which could be a disaster but could also turn him into a even bigger mega star and most of his indie films have been very well received by critics. He and Alexa are equally famous but evolve in 2 completely opposite universe in which the other is pretty insignificant.

The red sandals completely ruin her last look.

Are you kidding? Unless you are british or into fashion, no one knows who Alexa is. The initial bafflement in the Skarsgard communities about her was actually quite funny. At the moment they are probably equality famous in their different areas, but Alex certainly has way more reach than her.
 
Thank you @therealphilliplim for giving me my @footwearnews Style Influencer award!! Xxx

I'm not an Alex Skarsgard fan but I've heard of him before dating Alexa. True Blood was the biggest show on TV and shown worldwide. They're both equally famous in different departments of the entertainment business. But Alex is more popular in the United States because of True Blood and his indie films. Most in the USA have no idea who Alexa Chung is.

I love the winter face video. Alexa is so cute and funny.

I love the red shoes but the dress is very blah!
