Alexa Chung makes miniskirt pledge

OHMYGOSSIP — Alexa Chung has pledged to “always” wear miniskirts.
The 40-year-old model-and-presenter doesn’t think about getting older and while she may be “tartier” now than she used to be, she doesn’t care about changing her signature style.
She told the new issue of Britain’s Grazia magazine: “The other day I posted a picture wearing a minidress and someone commented, ‘She’s trying to look 24’ and someone else commented ‘She’s 40’.
“And when I saw it written down I was like, ‘How dare you, I’m not 40!’ I just forget.
“I’m going for the Patti Smith and Fran Lebowitz school of ageing. No make-up and men’s clothes.
“[But] there’ll always be minis. I get tartier the older I get, but my style has always been about blending classics with more contemporary pieces, which is why I wore a Barbour jacket when I was 22.”
When it comes to her mid-2000s look, Alexa admitted her generation had “terrible” hair and make-up.
She said “Our hair and make-up were terrible. Thanks to YouTube everyone now understands skincare in a way that we didn’t.
“It wasn’t a look, it was a commitment to not giving a f*** about one’s appearance.
“It was more carefree, quite messy, DIY dorky – those were the most fun days of my life.”
Despite being a style icon to many, Alexa joked she is still waiting to turn into a “glamorous” adult.
She said: “I keep thinking I will suddenly turn into an adult who is really glamorous, but it hasn’t happened yet.
“I think I’m just stuck with messy hair.”
The former ‘Popworld’ presenter is more “flattered” at being tagged an It Girl than she used to be.
She explained: “I’m really flattered as a woman to be called an It Girl.
“When I was a TV presenter I was a bit miffed because I felt it took away from my job, but now I’d much rather be an It Girl, it’s fabulous.”
