Not only does she consistently top high profile best-dressed lists, but It-Girl Alexa Chung has become a regular on the London party circuit, often spotted alongside style icons Agyness Deyn and Peaches Geldof. The stylish starlet has become a familiar front-row face, regularly taking in the shows during fashion month – and, in a return to her modelling roots, even walked the catwalk for the Vivienne Westwood Red Label S/S 09 collection.
