Everyone dresses well during London Fashion Week—it's kind of part of the job—but everyone else's looks rarely ever come close to Alexa Chung's, the unofficial darling of the UK fashion capital's biannual event. Just take her outfit for British Vogue and Tiffany Co.'s 2024 Fashion Film Party on Monday, for example. The soirée took place at Annabel's, a private social club in Mayfair, and was attended by Anna Wintour, Lewis Hamilton, Anya Taylor-Joy, Dua Lipa, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Chung chose a daring, partially see-through fringe- and bow-embellished gold dress from NYC-based brand Bode's fall 2023 collection. But the look wasn't complete with just the dress. It needed something more, and Chung found it in a pair of simple black tights.
It should come as no surprise to anyone who follows fashion in 2024 that hosiery is having a moment. From fishnets to colored options, practically every really good outfit this year includes some version of a pair of tights, be it from street style or the runways. Because of that, the once-unassuming basic is now getting the attention it deserves. Luckily, this is one trend that you don't have to pay a ton of money for or go on a wild goose chase to obtain. In fact, you can pay just $38 at Nordstrom for a pair by Commando that has 4.5 stars and 236 positive reviews right this second and have them arrive at your door in three to five business days (or even sooner if you're willing to splurge on faster shipping).
Scroll down to see Chung's look for the London Fashion Week party, which she attended alongside her partner Tom Sturridge, and snag yourself a pair of highly rated opaque tights while you're at it.
On Alexa Chung: Bode dress and bag

"I will never wear another pair of tights," one reviewer said.
Shop sheer dresses:
Get Chung's entire LFW look for far less than you'd pay for off-the-runway Bode with this Milly dress.
I love the idea of styling a sheer dress with a blazer and either opaque tights or fitted trousers.
An even more responsibly priced option to get Chung's look.
This Staud number is too pretty to pass up.
Imagine wearing this dress on a summer vacation in Greece or Portugal. So dreamy.
I will likely think about this netted Proenza Schouler dress from now until my last day.
Yes, this dress will really only cost you $19.
If you know me, you know I love a high slit.
Sale alert!
This one won't be in stock for much longer. Trust me.
This dress is almost completely sold out everywhere.
This one works just as easily as a pool cover-up as a going-out dress.
Just wow.
