Alexa Chung Wants to Be Buried in This Dress—Can You Blame Her?

Being a celebrity comes with plenty of perks, but easily one of our favorites is the access to designer clothes. Alexa Chung, for instance, gets to wear any brand under the sun, but she just revealed that there is one look that stands out from the rest. In a new interview with InStyle, Chung was quick to respond when asked about her favorite outfit of all time: a Chanel dress she wore back in 2011.
"I've been lucky enough to wear Chanel in the past and there's this one midnight blue-and-black tuxedo dress that I wore to the couture shows—it was traditional, but really special," she told the magazine. "I asked to be buried in it. They never really gave me an answer, though, so fingers crossed for me!"
Read on to see how she styled her favorite dress in Paris seven years ago.

After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News.
