Alexa Chung graces the (subscribers) cover of the October issue of ELLE UK shot by Karen Collins. Alexa is wearing my favorite look from the Chanel Resort 2009 collection and I absolutely LOVE it on her. I just wish they would’ve let her wear the chequered shoes that were originally worn with the outfit, but the creatives of ELLE UK probably found them too busy and too distracting for this simple chic editorial.

Here’s a little excerpt from the ELLE interview:

Alexa on Karl Lagerfeld: “I interviewed him, he said. ‘Oh all these people stink’ and then, ‘Not you, I like you, but no-one else.’ I thought, ‘YES! Karl Lagerfeld likes me!”

This is the outfit from the Chanel Resort 2009 collection as it appeared on the runway worn by the infamous Irina Lazareanu.

Here are my favourite looks from the Resort 2009 shows of Chanel, Christian Dior, Oscar De La Renta and Fendi.

Chanel - Resort 2009

Quintessential Chanel. My favourite look is #2, I especially ♥ the chequered shoes.

Christian Dior - Resort 2009

Galliano’s 2009 Resort collection was as you might have expected - a colorful 58-piece collection with a clear sixties oriented theme.

We had ice cream colors all the way: from fuchsias and corals to limes and yellows nearly every rainbow color had its own place to shine.

Marion Cotillard

Best Actress winner Marion Cotillard blowed me away in this stunning ivory mermaid-esque Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2008 Couture gown. Chopard jewels and Sergio Rossi shoes finished off this beautiful red carpet ensemble.

Though I hoped Cate Blanchett would win the Oscar for Best Actress, after Marion’s acceptance speech I was totally in love with the French actress. She was just wonderful.

Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway was a vision of red carpet perfection glowing in a fire-red one-shouldered Marchesa Fall 2008 dress and sparkling with Harry Winston jewels.

Love the rose detailed one-shoulder strap. Anne completely cured herself from any previous Oscars fashion disasters. Gotta love it, right?

Penélope Cruz

Penélope Cruz was a feast for the eyes wearing a stunning navy, feather-trimmed Chanel Haute Couture gown. She finished off her look with beautiful Chopard jewelry. I especially fell in love with her ruby and diamond earrings. Lovely!

Penélope’s make-up & hair is simply fantastic this year, I love it & definitely prefer this look compared to the one she sported last year at the Oscars.

Katherine Heigl

WOW! Katherine Heigl deserves an award for the most daring color here. She stunned everyone in an asymmetrical racy red silk georgette Escada column gown. She topped off her look with matching red lipstick, Ryan Ryan jewelry, a silver clutch & shoes (both Jimmy Choo).

Loving the old school glamour make-up & hair!

Jennifer Garner

I really loved Jennifer Garner’s amazing black silk taffetta Oscar de La Renta fishtail dress and the Van Cleef & Arpels vintage necklace just knocked me off my socks. Clutch by Roger Vivier.

I also loved Jennifer’s messy updo… but only from the side. If you see it from the front the streaks hide too much of her face.

I’m in the mood for another fashion faceoff, so here you go.

Supermodel Christy Turlington and German actress Diane Kruger both have fallen for a beautiful black Chanel Resort halterneck dress witch crosshatching detail on the bust and a semi sheer panel below.

Christy first wore this frock to the premiere of Katherine Heigl’s 27 Dresses in L.A. on January 7th, 2007. She donned all black by teaming her dress with a black cardigan and black patent peep-toe heels.

Diane wore the same dress to Chanel’s Spring 2008 Couture Fashion Show 2 weeks later with a cute chain headband, a fur jacket (not in the picture), a gold embellished Chanel 2.55 bag (not in the picture) and a pair of gorgeous yellow Chanel pumps.

Diane easily wins this for me. Christy played it too safe with going all black whereas Diane took some risk by adding the yellow heels and the fur jacket to the halterneck dress. That gave her outfit that extra something. Plus, I’m loving Diane’s hair.

German actress Diane Kruger made an extremely skinny appearance at a promo event for her newest flick “National Treasure: Book of Secrets” in Tokyo a few days ago. Nonetheless, she was a glaring beauty wearing a fabulous short snow white dress from the Chanel Couture Fall 2006 collection.

Diane completed her icy ensemble with a pair of beige patent Mad Mary Janes by Christian Louboutin. Love the contrast!

If only she’d wore her hair down with this dress.
