Bravo—Alexa Chung Just Wore 3 Trends That Will Dominate in 2024

by Hannah Almassi

There are a few things I know for sure about fashion, and one is that Alexa Chung can always be relied upon to wear trends before everyone else does. Case in point: an outfit she wore to a Christmas party in London last night ticked off three major trends that have been bubbling this year and will continue to make waves in 2024. This isn't the first time over the past few months that Chung has combined a pop of red, a lot of leather and some sparkly accessories into her looks, but it's the first time we've seen all three headline trends come together into one impeccable ensemble.

Leather in general was prevalent on the S/S 24 runways, despite the season in question. So investing in a leather trench, jacket, trousers or skirt will prove to be a solid investment over the coming year (if not years, as leather is a boomerang trend that comes back time and again). Dashes of primary red have been taking over Instagram and TikTok feeds since the summer, with shoes and bags (like Chung's little Prada beauty) an easy way to inject colour and newness into our wardrobes.

And sparkles—where would we be without sparkles? Less of a festive indulgence and more of a year-round pleasure (in our opinion), crystal-dotted and diamanté-studded accessories, shoes and even clothing have become something of a mainstay in our wardrobes, called upon whenever an outfit needs a little zhuzhing up. And they were still present on the runways for next year, taking up a noticeable amount of space in Milan. Gucci's now-iconic slingbacks have proven to be the gateway to many a wear-with-everything crystal addition.
