Alexa served as the unofficial fashion month muse for everything from barbours to ballet pumps!

Maybe the ballet pump was to blame. The wax jacket, perhaps. Or the Nana nightgown. However, there were enough Alexa Chungisms to fill a VIP teepee at Glastonbury on the spring/summer 2023 runways. Maybe the guitar riffs from Indie mixtapes are making moodboards vibrate. Perhaps Popworld needs to come back. Or perhaps our admiration for Chung's fashion is as timeless as the timeless wardrobe essentials she consistently reinvents.

The wax jacket

The gently flared wax jackets on the Spanish brand's runway would have caught Alexa's eye as she was front row at Loewe's spring/summer 2023 presentation in Paris. She did, after all, throw an outdoor east London dinner party in the rain to commemorate her final collection for Barbour last month. How appropriate for a mainstay of festival attire.

The Denim Shorts

Particularly when it is envisioned in minuscule proportions, Chung is the doyenne of denim. A pair that we'd like seeing her go about Worthy Farm in? The 'D' logo designs from Diesel are shockingly risky.

The Nightie

Chung captioned a photo of herself on Instagram wearing a Victorian nightgown, "Plan to haunt you from the edge of the bed in this one." This spring/summer 2023 Prada dress is just one of numerous nana nighties that have been seen on the catwalks, so there's no possibility of her being ghosted.

The oversized suiting

When Alexa is dressed in mannish tailoring, she allows her androgynous side take center stage. One of her fashion heroes, Patti Smith, is likewise honored by an enormous costume. A headliner is this enormous Stella McCartney outfit.

The tweed jackets

There are too many iconic Chanel looks to mention here, but Chung wearing candy-colored tweed is one of the most beautiful. A similarly sugary jacket was worn with punk fishnet socks on the spring/summer 2023 runway; this outfit has Alexa written all over it.
