Alexa Chung Brought the Cool Britishness of Jane Birkin and the French Insouciance of Françoise Hardy (Her Two Style Muses) to Vogue World: Paris

This is, after all, the woman who wore an entirely feathered Nicklas Skovgaard shorts set and bonnet to the London edition at Theatre Royal Drury Lane last year.

Alexa Chung brought her signature cool Britishness—nodding to two of her ultimate style muses, Jane Birkin and Françoise Hardy—to Vogue World: Paris on Thursday night. This is, after all, the woman who wore an entirely feathered Nicklas Skovgaard shorts set and bonnet to the London edition at Theatre Royal Drury Lane last year. Vogue World demands a look!

The British Vogue contributing editor once again worked with Harry Lambert—who told us earlier this year that if he were a girl he dreams of dressing like Chung—to bring a dose of good old-fashioned romance to the sporty spectacle unfolding at the Place Vendôme. The pair landed on a cream Viktor & Rolf silk slip dress with a single red rose flowering on the torso, to set Alexa apart from the industry’s great and good.

Fashion heads will recall that the sweet ruffled bodice actually emulates the crimping on a pretty pillowcase, as the dress stems from a fall 2005 collection inspired by bedclothes. (Remember Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren are prone to Moschino levels of drama too.) Bed-head models circled Tori Amos—inexplicably performing a piano rendition of “Song of Solomon”—wearing plush quilted coats with pillowy collars and fresh white sheets spun into dresses. Chung’s look (number 44) evoked, per Sarah Mower at the time, “a love token” strewn across the duvet, like a fond farewell.

Naturally we’re reading into this, but we imagine Alexa, who says her “FOMO is slowly transforming into FOGO (Fear Of Going Out)”, found something captivating in the idea of wearing PJs to the biggest event of the season. (Indeed, she wore marabou-trimmed Prada coords to the 2016 Fashion Awards.) “Some days I feel 80, some days I feel 18,” she said upon turning 40. “Life is relentlessly messy and fun and mortifying and hopeful.” At Vogue World: Paris, with partner Tom Sturridge by her side, there was absolutely nothing snoozy about Alexa Chung.
