Alexa Chung is style icon for millions of teenage girls and grown women the world over. We've been there with her every step of the way, since her east London-ish T4 days right up to the New York-based, book-writing present. We know her wardrobe like we know our own.

Buttoned-up shirts under couture gowns, socks with sandals, ombré-dyed hair and Peter Pan collars are just some of the trends Alexa has brought to the fashion mainstream since she arrived on our TV screens back in 2006. It’s these outfits and others that illustrate why she’s won British Style Icon three years running at the British Fashion Awards. Since relocating stateside, Alexa’s wardrobe has become more polished, but we still love the way she’s never too done. See her style develop throughout the years in this gallery.
