I have yet to see Chung in a slicked-back perfect 'do -- she's all about the unkempt bohemian look like the one here. To get this look, finger comb hair into a bun on the nape of the neck or the back of the head. Pull out a few face-framing strands.

Turns out Alexa Chung is also an inspiration to teen girls, according to Teen Vogue editor, Amy Astley, who talked at length about Chung on the wonderful Website Into the Gloss. Here's what she had to say about Chung:

"For teens to aspire to now…I think Alexa Chung gets its right. Partly because she’s an ex-model, she’s got that going for her—that lanky body that photographs really beautifully…but I just like her tossed off hair. It’s chopped, she lets her natural texture come out, she doesn’t look tortured with blow dryers or straightening irons or anything. She is sexy, obviously very sexy, but in a fresh and kind of tomboy-ish way. There’s nothing worse for me than seeing young girls trying to be sexy; it’s just so painful. I think girls are really interested in her beauty. Girls always talk about her on our forums."
