Alexa Chung Wears Christopher Kane to the Met Ball 2011

 Breaking a Met Ball rule, Alexa Chung showed off some leg in a Christopher Kane mini-dress at the 2011 event which was held last night (see the red carpet highlights here). Alexa's dress is a beautiful silver flapper style dress with all-over sequins and of course that sheer black ruffled neckline which completes the dress perfectly. Alexa is rocking her usual un-styled short bob, natural makeup and a pair of black peep-toe heels by Chanel, as well as a simple black leather clutch. While most of the other attendees went for full length gowns, Alexa decided to go short, and it just works. This outfit is sophisticated and is many ways trumps those who went overboard with their gowns - it's unfussy yet glamorous, exactly what Alexa is all about.
