News about Alexa Chung

Women can wait in agony for up to eight years before doctors are able to identify endometriosis, which can leave some infertile. Now a study has found it can be diagnosed from a stool sample, raising hope of new treatments.

When it comes to covetable knitwear, there's simply none cooler than British designer Bella Freud's. A-listers love her slogan jumpers, Kate Moss made famous the 'Ginsberg is God' one in 2003 while Alexa Chung is a fan of the retro '1970' and 'Je t'aime Jane', a tribute to Jane Birkin. A rare combination of fun and stylish, Freud's success has had admirable longevity - her own label still sells upmarket, ironic slogans by the bucketload. The only drawback is the price, since cashmere jumpers start at £355. So if, like me, you're a long-time fan who's never had that much to spend on a sweater, then now is your chance. Because Marks & Spencer's 27-piece collaboration with this chicest of cool-girl brands lands today in 30 selected stores and online.

It's a delicious time of year to dress. Soft cashmere with your favourite jeans, suede jackets with chic tailoring. And endless choices when it comes to boots and coats. As a fashion columnist and writer with years of experience in the industry, I just adore this time of year. I know that all of the choice out there can feel overwhelming... and picking truly stylish, long-lasting, well-made clothes is difficult when you don't have the time or knowledge it takes to sift the good from the bad. This is the definitive autumn selection of the 21 items every woman's wardrobe needs. I've pored over, carefully researched and selected every piece to really whittle out the best of the goodies... and showed how I'd style them too.

There's a reason everyone from Keira Knightly to Alexa Chung has an aviator jacket in their wardrobe. With designer versions fetching over £2,500, M&S's £79 take is one of this season's hottest buys.

Alexa Chung turned heads on Tuesday while departing the Miu Miu's afterparty with  fiancé Tom Sturridge as Paris Fashion Week finally came to an end. The fashion-savvy presenter, 40, looked incredible as she put on a leggy display in leather shorts with a distressed hem. She added inches to her frame with burgundy court heels and toted her essentials in a matching leather handbag.

Alexa Chung took centre stage alongside Hilary Swank at the Miu Miu runway show at Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday.  The model, 40, has long been a friend of the brand having either attended or walked in their shows, and worn their designs over the years. Taking to the star-studded runway, Alexa's look consisted of a classic grey button down blazer paired with a matching mid-length kilt. 

She may have started out her career as a TV presenter in the noughties -  but these days, Alexa Chung (left, in 2008) is arguably more famous for her enviable sense of style.  Over the past 18 years, the model and television personality has had her pick of brands - including Mulberry, M&S, J Crew and AG Jeans - to work with. And at the age of 40, Alexa's influence on the fashion industry shows no sign of waning.  Last week, the former Freshly Squeezed presenter unveiled her latest collaboration with Barbour (centre and right) - a British heritage brand she has worked with several times over the past 10 years. Earlier this month, the star also partnered with Madewell (inset) on a 1970s-inspired AW/24 range - 14 years on from their first collection. Here FEMAIL reveals how Alexa Chung is one of the British fashion industry's longest-standing 'it girls' - despite the failure of her own brand.

Decades before becoming chief executive of The Prince's Foundation - and one of the future King Charles's most trusted confidants - Michael Fawcett supplemented his modest income as a Buckingham Palace footman by taking a Saturday job in a menswear shop. Presumably eager that his children, Oliver and Emily, should be spared similar indignity, the acutely focused Fawcett appointed them as directors of his events company when they were just 22 and 24 respectively. But things have not, alas, gone quite according to plan. Indeed, I can reveal that Oliver, now 28, has suffered a brutal reversal of fortune. Just two years after becoming the key shareholder in - and sole director of - 303 London Ltd, a company specialising in 'television programme production activities', he's been obliged to call in the liquidators after it amassed debts of nearly £700,000. It's an unhappy situation. The company owes £550,000 to HM Revenue & Customs - and a further £13,000 in unpaid corporation tax. Banks and other institutions are owed a total of £110,000, and 303's landlord another £12,000.

Lady Amelia Windsor stepped out for London Fashion Weeks closing party at The Roof Gardens on Monday evening.

SAMANTHA REA: 'MIND THE GAP!' No, I'm not on the London Underground , I'm trying on a top that's rather open-fronted. Known as a 'Copenhagen blouse' it ties at the front, in a row of bows. However, it's impossible to make the fabric fully meet, in the way a zip-front or a button-up blouse would. Instead, it reveals an alley of flesh from my collar bone to my navel - via my cleavage. So who would wear this Copenhagen blouse? Well, you may imagine it was custom made for the costume department of an obscure Danish sex show, but actually it's all over the UK high street, and mainstream brands offering a version of this 'front-tie' blouse include H&M, New Look, Warehouse, Stradivarius, ASOS and Anthropologie

There was no dilemma for 'It-girl' Alexa Chung over what to wear to her brother's wedding. It seems fated that the television presenter, 40, chose a black maxi dress aptly named 'Alexa' for the wedding of her brother Dominic in Privett, Hampshire.  Alexa's halter-neck dress was designed by Lebanese label Super Yaya and costs £1,690. 

The presenter, 40, looked incredibly chic in a satin navy shirt as she enjoyed a boozy night out at Madewell Launch Celebration in New York on Wednesday. She exuded glamour in an off-white and navy long-sleeve shirt, teamed with dark blue jeans.

A glamorous fashionista with royal genes and a love for the environment, you will either find her strutting down a catwalk or in a garden. Lady Amelia Windsor , who turns 29 today, is a successful model and fashion designer. At the star-studded Victoria and Albert Museum's summer party in June, she dazzled in a stylish pink co-ord. The granddaughter of Prince Edward , Duke of Kent, who is second cousin to the King, flashed her tattoos on both arms as she stepped out onto the red carpet. Away from the glitz, Lady Amelia has other, more environmentally focused interests. At the Chelsea Flower Show this year, she unveiled her first ever floral display. Lady Amelia created a garden of wildflowers which featured species including yellow rattle, common toadflax and ragged robin.

Marveille Cuanico and Armaine Cuanico, both 16, today celebrated as they found out the scored exactly the same average grades. 'We're still twinning, even in GCSEs!' Armaine said. The twins, who attended St Anne's Catholic School in Southampton, Hampshire, both scored an average grade of eight in their GCSEs. It came as hundreds of thousands of teenagers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland opened their GCSE exam results in a year when grades were due to be restored to 2019 levels in all three nations.

Alexa Chung cut a typically chic figure as she arrived at The Platinum Card by American Express x Vogue Supper Club at Toklas on Tuesday night. The model, 40, looked gorgeous as she donned the strapless black mini dress for the star-studded event at the mediterranean restaurant. The TV presenter kept her outfit simple and added a pair of pointed black stilettos with bow details to her look.

Every little girl who loves dressing up knows it: sequins are fashion magic. They catch the light and bounce it back in joyful rainbow colours; they shimmy in mysterious ways as you move; they even lift your face (thanks to all that reflected brightness) and boost your mood. Yet, sadly, they are often relegated to just a few weeks around the Christmas period. It's true, those gloomy days benefit from a little added glamour, but this season, I'm very happy to report that high fashion is bent on reclaiming sequins for summer. So, if you're trying the trend you'll want to make sure you look grown-up rather than tween, chic rather than cheap - and more summer party than 'pass the mince pies'. Here are five simple rules to stay on the right side of fabulous.

We all need a comfort blanket, don't we? Something to shore us up, hide behind: the one thing that never lets us down. Prince William , in a video posted on Instagram alongside Kate on Sunday to celebrate Team GB's success at the Olympics, looked older, more confident, relaxed and completely in charge while in at-home holiday mode. The reason? He was sporting a brand new beard. And Catherine? Well, she was wearing her trusted style. Yes, she revealed a slightly new look - side-parted hair streaked with caramel, a new ring alongside her wedding band. But her top told us everything we need to know. We haven't lost her. She hasn't changed. All is right with the world. The Breton navy and white sailor top is a garment go-to whenever she wants to feel and look like a woman, not a princess. For when she needs reassurance; and to reassure. To appear relaxed when her life is perhaps in turmoil, or steeped in emotion.

Joe Alwyn joined Alexa Chung for day ten of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on Wednesday. The actor, 33, and the model, 40, toasted with their coffees after taking their seats before hitting the Pimms.     Joe wore a layered Ralph Lauren outfit, which included a navy T-shirt with a striped shirt and blue over shirt over the top.

Perhaps the cutest encounter of the day came when Camilla met Camila at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, a young fan with a VIP pass thanks to her tennis playing father. The younger Camila, who is the daughter of Mexican tennis player Santiago Gonzalez, showed the Queen her pass before eagerly shaking her hand.

Everyone is talking about A313. No, not the road from Hampton Hill to Teddington, but the cult skincare beauty buy. Sienna Miller, a recent convert, says Alexa Chung turned her on to the product and raves about it as 'the secret to French-girl skin'. She describes A313 as 'a retinol that you can get quite cheaply over the counter in France. If you have to look good the next day, put that on when you go to bed'. Reader, I'll have what's she

Alexa Chung turned heads in a satin green gown at the star-studded Serpentine Gallery summer party in Kensington Gardens, London on Tuesday. The model, 40, looked incredible as she went braless under the eye catching cut out backless number which showcased her amazing figure.  She added inches to her frame in a pair of stylish black stiletto heels and wore a glamorous palette of makeup.

The shindig she threw ahead of her 25th birthday was an extravagant affair dubbed the most decadent Scots party of the year. However, Lady Lola Bute enjoyed a more sedate outing as she celebrated her actual birthday in Paris at the weekend with Dutch boyfriend Parker Van Noord, 25. The couple, who are both models, posed up a storm in a series of photos taken during their trip to the city of love.
