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.

I’m not always fond of Mischa Barton fashion choices, but in May 2007, when she was attending Cinema Against AIDS 2007 Benefiting amfAR in Cannes, Mischa was pure high class glamour in a stunning monochrome gown from Dior’s Fall 2007 collection.

Mischa wore her hair pulled back and decided to go with a bare neck to give the dress space to dazzle. She accessorized with gorgeous sapphire diamond drop earrings, a diamond bracelet and a black clutch. Her make-up was flawless as usual, I especially love the Va Va Voom eyes and the red lips.

Some say monochrome is one of the hottest trends for 2008, but I say: monochrome is hot EVERY season and it will never ever go out of style. Sure, it might not be the most daring trend, but it’s a classic for a reason.

To all the hardcore fashionistas out there, add white ruffle socks and a black satin top hat to give the look the icing on the cake. But remember: You gotta be brave and confident to rock these accessoires.
