Alexa Chung, the renowned fashion icon, rang in her 40th birthday in grand style aboard the Venice-Simplon-Orient-Express, proving that milestone birthdays are meant to be celebrated in opulence.
Alongside close friends Pixie Geldof and Jack Guinness, Chung embarked on a luxurious train journey from Paris to Venice, showcasing an exquisite wardrobe that exuded the glamour reminiscent of 1920s starlets.
Chung's fashion choices for the Belmond train outing were nothing short of breathtaking. She embraced the exuberance of entering her 40s with a series of remarkable looks that captured the essence of a bygone era. A Miu Miu dress adorned with sheer, body-hugging crystals, that flirty cape paired with kitten heels, and a show-stopping red Nensi Dojaka dress complemented by extravagant gold earrings marked the highlights of her style extravaganza.
The allure of the Venice-Simplon-Orient-Express added an extra layer of sophistication to the celebration. Departing from Paris just before dinner, the train offers an overnight journey of decadence, traversing ever-changing landscapes before arriving in the City of Water late afternoon.
