We love Paris Fashion Week, not only because it arguably boasts the most illustrious shows of them all, but it's also the longest week, meaning more front row fashion moments and cool-girl-coded street style opportunities.
The latest It-girl to grace the French capital and school us in spring/summer fashion styling, is British muse Alexa Chung.
The 41-year-old attended the Valentino 'Le Méta-Théâtre Des Intimités' AW25 on Sunday and officially put white lace tights on the map for this season.
She oozed cool in a Mob Wife-meets coquette core ensemble, featuring a peachy-pink frilled mini dress that screamed spring chic, a pair of white lace tights, red peep-toe heels and a fluffy beige coat with statement gigot sleeves.

Black lace tights have been the haute hosiery of choice as of late to add a touch of sensual glam to evening attire, and Alexa just spun the trend on its head, bringing a fresh, brighter version to don this springtime.

Fashion: “With black dresses and black tights with a pattern, you look different. It looks interesting. With the patterns and bright colours, you should put on the tights and then choose what you wear."
The lesson? Make your outfit work around the tights.
Also on the front row alongside Alexa was Saltburn actor Barry Keoghan, Good Luck, Babe! singer Chappell Roan, Georgina Rodríguez and Jared Leto, to name an illustrious few.
Once again, Alexa has put a classic style with a twist on our radar for the season ahead.
