Leave it to Alexa Chung to wear a linen waistcoat and trousers to watch England go head to head with Spain for the 2024 Euros final last Sunday.

When the rest of the country was donning football shirts in blue, red and white, Ms Alexa decided to stay true to her style status, deciding on a striped button-up waistcoat which she paired with crisp linen trousers and her new ‘ginger chocolate’ hair colour.

Posting to her 6.3 million followers just yesterday with the caption “I waited up all night. It didn’t come home”, in reference to the final game score which I needn’t go into detail about. Fans of both Alexa and her style flocked to the comment section to swoon about her look, one fan said “I genuinely LOVE your look, how amazing you are with the best style always” while another comically said, “Alexa you should play in the next euros you would make us win.”

Alexa has and likely forever will be one of the fashion set's most stylish faces, constantly donning controversial shoes and somehow making them chic, cut-out green gowns to opulent parties and coining new layering hacks, so her football-watching ensemble comes as no surprise.
