Get The Look!: Alexa Chung at the Chanel Haute-Couture Show

 On July 2 Alexa Chung was one of the many who attended the Chanel Haute Couture Show as part of Paris Fall/Winter fashion week.   She went dressed in her typical "girl meets boy" look is created by pairing a chunky sweater with a tweed skirt with feminine heels and a bag.  


To rock Alexa's look you need a navy blue chunky sweater.   Make sure to find a thin sweater, bring it is still summer.   To make the sweater a little bit more appropriate for summer push the sleeves up near your elbows.   Next, a frayed tweed skirt in blueish or blackish tones.   Grab a black quilted cross body bag and sling it over your shoulder.   For a vintage look, slip on an brown oxford pump.  If you prefer a girlie look, grab your basic patent leather nude pump.  To complete the look see the hair and makeup section below.       
  

Hair:   If you want your look complete by having hair just like Alexa's try these beachy waves.  You may desire for your hair to have a short messy look like it does on Alexa's in the picture above.  To do this first create beachy waves (for extra texture feel free to add texturizing cream or spray) .   Second, collect your hair a few inches (about 2) below the nape of the neck.  Then, twist the hair below the few inches that you are holding and pull it up onto the back of your head.   Clip it with a hair claw clip or pin it into place with bobby pins.   Remember, the look is supposed to be messy, so don't worry if something does not look "perfect".Makeup:   Alexa is not wearing very dark colors in her makeup for this look.  She is wearing very light pinks and nudes for a fresh- faced look.   For the eyes, a "natural smokey eye" compliments the look very well (a natural smokey eye is a smokey eye with lighter colors, see the picture in collage above).   When doing the smokey eye try using a gel eyeliner like Bobbi Brown's Long- Wear Gel Eyeliner.   The perfect lipstick color is a light pinky- orange (I think the shade Barbarella by NARS is spot on the right color).   Apply a quick sweep of MAC 'Mineralize' blush to your cheeks.   Now your Alexa Chung at The Chanel Haute Couture look is complete!
