The woman behind Alexa Chung is, I suspect, having the exact same thought that I am.
And that is, “Am I seeing men’s running shorts from 1982 under that skirt?” A sequined shower curtain is such an extreme way to declare oneself a fan of marathoning. She could’ve just gotten photographed watching one, or announced her intentions not to leave her apartment until she’d caught up on every season of The Real World.

A book, huh? Is it just stuff you already put on the Web site?
Nope, we wrote the whole thing fresh, just for you.
Awesome. In that case, I want to read it!

You know, I like this…until I realized I could see her upper thighs and…whatever it is she is wearing as undergarments. I think my exact thoughts were: “YES! …..oh, wait, no.”
*liked
What worries me more is that her legs look like toothpicks. Those knees!
Her shoes remind me of the clunky chunky pseudo heels that Buffy the Vampire Slayer wore on tv to look girly while sprinting in cemeteries.
Eat a sandwich, for the love of god and all that is holy!
If you are so thin that your thighs have never met one another, showing them off in a sheer dress is not the way to go. There is such a thing as too thin, celebrities!
Look at the lady to the right in the pink/purple/orange flowered jumpsuit! Its got ruffles around the feet like a clown. OMG! Can not believe someone made that and then someone else actually bought it. Craziness!
I don’t get it, I don’t see running shoes just ugly peep toe shoes and a cocktail frock that is inappropriate for the event
haha, that’s Giovanna Battaglia giving her the up and down.
I don’t care for the way she’s looking at me.
This entire look is so inappropriate for this event. For the life of me I will never understand why she is hailed as such a style icon. At least with The Sev, you can kind of see it sometimes, but I have never seen a picture of Alexa Chung where I went “That’s what I’m talking about!” It’s always been more of “Oh. Honey. NO!”
Dear lord, she’s skeletal. She looks like she might be ill. Also, she’s insanely tall to be wearing a babydoll dress. I might like it better on a shorter woman — and I might also like it better if it weren’t so transparent. It’s hard to appreciate the design of what should be a cute dress when my focus is all on her underwear.
I’m also going to imagine that’s what Giovanna is thinking. And that would make her my new Best Fashion Friend. Can Alexa Chung’s days as a fashion icon please be over now?
I sort of want you to review the dress on the woman staring at her from behind too. That print with a matching purse is far more hilarious than Toothpick Legs here.
I just wish they (whoever “they” are) would stop trying to make her happen here. As much as I love certain aspects of British life/culture, we don’t need *everything* they’ve put out there.
Seriously – we need to know who is wearing the craze-balls JAMPSUIT to the right, and WHY?
Stink-eye-lady’s black and white gown is gorgeous.
her face at least looks healthy, then you look through the netting and see collar bones and then you get to those knobbly knees and I die a bit inside.
The dress looks like she skinned a school of herring and then made a nightie.
Smug Italian Lady looks gorgeous. Can we talk about that instead?
Jesus, she’s thin!
i’m with some of the others-let’s talk about smug italian woman! she’s wonderful. she’s striking a wonderful balance between drama and glamour for the ball.
I’m having trouble deciding whether her shoes are just a hair too big or if her legs are just too thin. Maybe it’s the intersection of both, but they kind of make her look like a little kid playing dress-up.
She looks like a sixth grader on her first day of school wearing the dress her mother made her put on but she’s being defiant by wearing the shoes SHE picked out.
Should there even be that much daylight between a grown woman’s knees? I hope the bag she is cluching to her chest contains a cheese burger.
OMG! WTF? FUG!!!
Chung is the UK answer to Boobs Legsley, only much, MUCH more annoying. Why are these women considered “style icons?” At least Boobs doesn’t say much (obviously being suffocated by her wise publicists) but Chung goes on and ON about how she was “born with long legs and long arms” and “her style is no style because if you aren’t BORN with it you can never ACHIEVE it,” blah blah blah infinity. And then she turns up at things in sequined see-through shower curtains. The only person more irritatingly, narcissistically self-referential is Paltrow. Bleh.
Yes, can we instead talk about everyone around her? The extremely glamorous woman behind her (looks like she’s channeling the 1960s in the best possible way), and THE JUMPSUIT?? I’m seriously disappointed that this jumpsuit has not yet been addressed. It is a far more urgent matter than Alexa Chung.
I agree with Delta Sierra and Leah, but whether you like/dislike Battaglia’s ’60s-inspired ensemble, the lady has style up the wazoo. Do a Google search and look at the images that come up. Amazing!
the 70′s floral onesie/clown suit definitely needs her own post
She has such a dope-y look on her face, like she’s saying: Do these kneebones make me look fat?
Her plastic, curvy handbag matches the see-through plastic curvy accents on her dress. Weird. Did you notice she threw a dead animal on her shoulder and called it a ponytail? And her shoes are too big.
Now, I totally love the black and white lady channeling 1960 behind her- the stink-eye gal!
Quick, Someone get her a meatball sub! And a petticoat!
Love the lady behind her, so Jackie O.
I second, or third/fourth/fifth, what people are saying about the stink eye lady. Her dress is very Jackie O, and I’d love to see more.
And seriously, if you are a skeleton, you really should not be showing that much of your limbs. I can’t even focus on the dress because her legs are making me uneasy.
I want that purse! Her legs frighten me though. And did that woman in the background teleport here from the 1960s?
She’s wearing GIANT Lite Brite underwear. Size 0. And they are cinched.
The zigzaggy things framing the gym shorts actually look like they could be the openings to a kangaroo pocket – maybe it’s a magical pocket of holding with a whole roast beef dinner in there for later.
My, but there are some patterns in this pic!
AC’s dress is probably fantastic, but you need a certain shape to wear the straight up and down sack. And she doesn’t have it. Her legs are way too thin and her hair needs to be up- maybe something 60s or 70s. I think her panties are severely frilled and they’re making the dress stick out as though she has a bit of a paunch.
Shoes: shocking. Clumpy.
Giovanna Battaglia isn’t really giving her the stink eye, but she could be. And in all fairness, she ought to be. Giovanna is always so stylish and she makes it look effortless.
Just who is Alexa Chung? What has she done? Why doesn’t she have a decent stylist, if she’s so damned well known?
I want to throw sandwiches at her. Eat something, woman.
Alexa Chung is boring and her outfit is boring as well, even with her underpants showing. I would much rather look at that crazyballs pantsuit behind her.
In full discretion, I believe I wore those running shorts in 1999. (Of course, in maroon – my high school’s colors were maroon, gray, and white.)
Also in full discretion, my HS track team’s uniforms probably dated back to 1982 at the time. (The next year, we got new ones.) So I don’t know what that proves.
Does anybody know why she is famous? I cannot for the life of me find a good reason.
Wow, seriously, where did this girl come from???
I am going to avoid getting too snarky on her legs because it sounds like perhaps she just looks like this no matter how many cheeseburgers she eats, but I could be wrong. Still, party of having good style is knowing what looks good on you, right? There are a lot of clothes that would look good on her. This combo is not it…
But hey, at least her hair isn’t two different colors! And it’s almost a teeeensy bit shiny instead of all frizzed out purposefully.
