She's got a laid-back look, preferring jeans and sweats, when off duty, but she's got a refreshingly modern and chic style when she's doing the red carpet rounds, making her  a style icon.

Topshop's not the only thing in fashion being brought over from the Brits. The latest London craze taking over Manhattan (and the US, for that matter) is Alexa Chung, the multi-talented, bi-cultural beauty who is no longer reserving those long legs of hers for the runways - or the British airways. The model/television presenter/writer has just touched down from London-town: Just landed in the big apple. Its boiling! (5:28pm Apr 27th from Twitterberry) said @alexa_chung. She's officially here, and just in time: The Alexa Chung Show premieres on June 15th on MTV, which will be a combo of celebrity interviews and musical performances. One of the big keys to the daily show will be online viewer interaction - Facebook is working with MTV as a partner in the series and the station is reaching out to Twitter too. Chung was chosen because despite the fact she is a model, she has a personality that is relatable - whether she's writing about a hangover or discussing weird dreams with fashion magazines. The 25 year old is quirky and honest, and most importantly she has the experience and brains.
She dropped modeling after four years (last fall she returned to the catwalk however), and she switched to television presenting for England's T4 for soft-news programs which helped secure her the role as a British fashion-obsession. She never quite showed up on the mainstream radar here in the States until recently, but regardless, she still made it on multiple best-dressed lists on both sides of the pond.
And now that she's about to become an official New York resident - rumor has it Brooklyn is her borough of choice - let's see if Alexa Chung-mania starts up in her new city of choice. Because trust us when we say this girl's fashion career has definitely left an impact on her wardrobe. You may remember the on-again off-again model from her early work in the 90s: Adverts for Tampax, Fanta, Sony Ericsonn and Sunsilk, and spreads in teen magazines. But if not, don't fret, because what Alexa is really known for isn't her early modeling career anyway, which she claims gave her a "distorted body image" and "low self-esteem" back then (Really? Modeling? Noo. We're shocked). It was her turn to British television presenting on T4, which initially landed her a spot as one of Britain's "It" girls. What does Alexa think of this honor? “There’s not much to being an It girl. It’s really quite a depressing title to hold." Ok, Alexa, we'll have to trust you on that one, but feel free
Any cuter and Rachel Bilson would be sickly sweet, but we won’t hold that against her. Since her O.C days, Bilson has escaped the shadow of her co-star Mischa Barton, and blossomed into somewhat of a style icon. Much like her style sister Jennifer Aniston, she’s a classic dresser and makes no attempt to be overly trendy. We admire her effortless ability to create sophisticated low key looks and she always manages to find perfect figure flattering evening dresses that leave us green with envy. Rachel Bilson….we love your style!

STYLE MUSE – RACHEL BILSON

In fashion, where six feet glamazons rule, Rachel Bilson single handedly makes petite chic. Aside from my numero uno-modelesque style icon Alexa Chung, Rachel Bilson is constantly on my humble style radar.

Even when she is jet-setting from LAX to YYZ visiting her gorgeous finance Hayden Christensen (footnote-are they still together?), she always looks cute, comfy, and immaculately styled. Her look is an eclectic mix of high-low brands, vintage, and unique accessories.

Some might think her look is a bit too understated to be considered a style muse, but it takes a keen eye for style and trends to know when to stop…yes, there is such a thing as too many accessories, colors, and prints. And you can ALWAYS be certain that Rachel Bilson will mix and match, giving a young and new spin on casual looks.

She is the perfect example of how you can dress for yourself in comfy clothes, without compromising style. Heeled boots, tights, scarves, sweaters, and boyfriend jeans are staples. The overall look is fresh faced and equal parts trendy. Best of all, every look is polished and the perfect inspiration for ‘real life’.
