ALEXA CHUNG'S TRENCH COAT IS A HIGH STREET HERO - HERE'S WHERE TO BUY IT NOW

We are all about the Cannes red carpet. From historic looks, to the recent dress code change - designer gowns and grand premieres are our favourite spectator sports.

However, it's not just at Palais des Festivals where actors, models and directors turn out a look, in fact, the A-listers' off duty 'fits are just as note worthy (and exponentially more useful as outfit inspiration).

Proving this statement is Britain's best dressed Alexa Chung, who stepped out of her hotel in a casual ensemble so good we're going to copy it immediately, a task that's pretty simple since Chung opted for a trench from the high street: specifically a creased-effect trench from Mango.

The Broadcaster and former designer styled the trench to perfection, adding a gold cuff over the sleeve of her coat(genius) and pairing it with white trousers, a monogrammed tote bag and some simple ballet flats. The whole look gave off a very '1990s Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy' vibe.

Ever the chameleon, this outfit came a day after the 41-year-old looked like an old Hollywood screen siren for the premiere of Vouvelle Vague.

She paired a Balenciaga black gown with Boucheron jewellery for the event.
