Alexa Chung Has This Whole Edie Sedgwick Style Thing Down

When Alexa Chung stepped out for breakfast with her boyfriend, Alexander Skarsgård, early this morning, she looked like herself, sure, but in a decidedly Edie Sedgwick kind of way. The model was seen crossing the street in New York’s East Village in a mash-up of essentials made famous by one of the original It girls.



The animal-print look was a favorite of Sedgwick’s, and Chung doubled down on it by adding a skinny scarf overtop. In a varsity stripe, it looked like it could have been plucked from the closet of Bob Dylan, who, lest we forget, was another favorite of Sedgwick’s. Chung’s cat-eye sunglasses were also in line with the late actress’s accessories, plus the tortoiseshell shade and metallic gold detail tied in nicely with the colors of Chung’s coat.

Sedgwick often took to monochromatic pieces in all-over tonal black—black dresses, black leopards, black turtlenecks—but we like that Chung switched it up with a navy fisherman’s sweater in a cozy cable-knit. Her faded skinnies were classic Sedgwick, though, as were the flat ankle boots in the same shade.
