Every fashion fanatic has at least one item in their wardrobe that if given the chance they’d wear every day on repeat till the end of time.

For fashion muse and sartorial it-girl Alexa Chung, that one item is her beloved 16Arlington Little Black Dress.

Alexa and her love affair with a sleek LBD has been going on for years

Spotted yesterday out and about on official cool-girl business during New York Fashion Week, Alexa styled her strapless black mini dress to perfection, making it opulent occasion appropriate. 

To attend the Boucheron in America event Alexa layered her favourite 'Stell Dress in Crepe' mini with a set of sheer denier tights, a set of pointed-toe leather slingback pumps and a Miu Miu 'Matelassé logo-plaque leather top-handle bag'.

For accessories, the author, presenter and designer opted for a set of light-catching diamonds from Boucheron, pairing a dainty choker necklace with a set of drop-down earrings, a square cut ring and a matching link bracelet.

Glam-wise, Alexa leaned into the high fashion French girl aesthetic, spicing up her all-black ensemble with a statement red lip look and a loosely curled side part hairstyle.

Alexa's opted for a simple yet elegant look for the evening

The last time Alexa sported her beloved wardrobe companion, she swapped out her sheer tights for bare legs and a minimal makeup look to attend the Platinum Card by American Express x Vogue Supper Club in London late last month.

If Alexa’s versatile striking ensemble proves anything, it’s that the Little Black Dress is famous for a reason and will always be the ultimate wardrobe essential for when you’re in an occasional pinch.
