Does anyone you know think Alexa Chung is a style queen?

I don't. Ok, she's got anorexia legs but that's not quite enough. And who would identify with her oh-so quirky oh-so dated chic?

She's not for me, but I don't go in for dressing like a little girl.

I think she specialises in things that look interesting/cool on her, but are not-at-all-flattering.

She has rather a quirky and eclectic sense of fashion which isn't my cup of tea BUT I think its refreshing that she sticks to her guns when it comes to her fashion choices, she's got character and doesn't conform which I kinda like...

Nope not at all. Don't get what all the fuss is about.

She is one of those people who would look good in a sack, so she kind of doesn't need to worry. It is nice that she wears whatever the hell she likes, including some unusual stuff. Sometimes she does basically wear a sack, and looks great, and I think "hmm I would love a dress like that ..... NO STOP YOU ARE NOT ALEXA CHUNG, YOU WILL LOOK LIKE A PREGNANT POTATO"

Nah.

She's a perfect example of the 'emperors new clothes' phenomenon in fashion. The powers that be have designated her stylish therefore mags etc believe that what she is wearing is stylish.

When in reality she looks like a starved and permanently stoned baby giraffe dressed by Oxfam circa 1984.

She does look good in clothes - and she's that slightly borderline ugh-thin that makes people look twice.

I guess it's the overall impression - she's not got a look or a chic to her at all. Knocking 30 is a bit much to do the bandy-legged teen thang. She's very much about clothes not about being a good dresser.

I don;t think anyone I know would know who she was.

Bunny - I am in total agreement with you! She doesn't do it for me at all. She looks like she needs a good wash and a spritz with the Febreeze.
