Hot off a provocative, college-coded partnership with Olivia Jade, Reformation is back in the spotlight — this time via a linkup with the It-girl to end all It-girls, Alexa Chung.

At first glance, the co-designed pieces, 30 in total, appear classically romantic in a straightforward way: fool-proof options for nights out, get-togethers with the girls, and holiday soirées. But look closer and you’ll discover that many of the selections are intentionally referential. According to Reformation, the capsule features “everything Alexa, all in the form of original designs and unexpected pairings you’ll wish you’d thought of.”

The slinky satin dresses, velvet-wrapped, jewel-toned dinner jackets, breezy blouses, and lace-lined matching sets channel an aesthetic that has become synonymous with Chung herself: preppy and edgy at once, a ’70s rock-and-roll energy seasoned with dashes of Parisian cool and timeless British tailoring.

If you’ve taken the past few decades to blossom into a full-blown fashion insider, it’s likely that UK-born Chung, now 42, was a sartorial North Star for you in the mid-2000s. Rising to fame as a model and co-host for hit British television shows, Chung quickly emerged as a well-recognized media darling. Her “indie sleaze” looks were widely emulated, and she even became the muse of multiple luxury labels before launching an eponymous, ready-to-wear line of her own.

A modern-day collaboration with Reformation, then, feels special and full-circle. 2026’s style trends are revisiting the exact era that served as a backdrop to Chung’s cultural apex, and it’s not lost on shoppers that an It-girl brand tapping the quintessential It-girl of the 21st century borders on kismet.

“As seen on television, the runway, mood boards, and basically everywhere else. Alexa is probably your muse’s muse, so for our latest collaboration, we opted for no degrees of separation,” Reformation shares in marketing copy, adding that each design was “inspired by her very own closet.”

It’s no wonder that most of Reformation x Alexa Chung‘s hottest commodities have disappeared from online shelves in mere days. Weren’t able to snag the richly colored, polished, chic-without-trying styles on your wishlist? Our eagle-eyed team has identified a workaround of sorts, in the form of the collection’s hush-hush release at nordstrom.com.

BEST FOR LONG CITY NIGHTS

Reformation x Alexa Chung Radziwill Strapless Dress

$398

Buy Now at nordstrom

We don’t know what we love more, this dress’ sweetheart neckline; charming knot detail at center; glossy aubergine hue; or the fact that it’s named after another tastemaker who will always be iconic: the Lee Radziwill.

BEST FOR WORK FUNCTIONS

Reformation x Alexa Chung Pepo Velvet Jacket

$348

Buy Now at nordstrom

Collared, sustainably made, and just outspoken enough, this velvet jacket will go a long way on occasions when you need to look formal (but also signal your trend awareness). Want to feel like you hit a true home run? Invest in the layer’s blue Nova colorway, entirely waitlisted at Reformation but fully stocked here.

Reformation adores a cheeky lil’ graphic top moment, and this one hints at the notion that, actually, Chung has yet to reach her apex. She’s still ascending, and, yes, it’s her again.

BEST FOR HOLIDAY PARTIES

Reformation x Alexa Chung Carolyn Print Velvet Maxi Skirt

$248

Buy Now at nordstrom

This ornate, mid-rise maxi was crafted out of deadstock — “aging, leftover, and over-ordered fabric from factories, other designers, and fabric warehouses,” as Reformation puts it, that has been given a new lease on life. Those vintage florals only add to the appeal.

BEST FOR MOODY EVENINGS

Reformation x Alexa Chung Cassie Trench Coat

$348

Buy Now at nordstrom

Chung has a soft spot for high-street trenches, styling them with casual canvas totes, black tights, sensible heels, and all other manner of tasteful accessories. Dying to replicate these equations? Reformation’s Cassie is the one coat to buy, complete with a gingham lining — also known as its best-kept secret.

BEST FOR GALAS

Reformation x Alexa Chung Legacy Velvet Gown

$428

Buy Now at nordstrom

Dramatic cuts down the front and back make this fit-for-galas gown a seductive force indeed. Its “shimmering velvet,” per Nordstrom’s description, will turn heads as you enter a room, and those chevron seams at the waist are sure to flatter all the right places.

BEST FOR THIRD DATES

Reformation x Alexa Chung Satin Cocktail Dress

$248

Buy Now at nordstrom

For something easier and breezier — perhaps to utilize on your third and most memorable date — go with the sophisticated, classic Cocktail Dress. Elements like a midi hem and lace trim will complement strappy footwear, thoughtfully curated gold jewelry, and your statement-making handbag rotation.

BEST FOR OFFICE DAYS

Reformation x Alexa Chung Carolyn Maxi Skirt

$248

Buy Now at nordstrom

This skirt is an homage to Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, so consider it a love letter from the ’90s. Minimalist, column-evoking in shape, curve-skimming, and “wool-kissed,” it will carry you effortlessly from the work meeting to drinks with an American prince.

BEST FOR MAXIMALIST MOODS

Reformation x Alexa Chung Cassie Trench Coat

$348

You’ve seen her before, but now she’s dressed in the eye-catching shade of Chili Mango. More to look forward to: bold buttons, an angular collar, and, once again, an internal gingham print that you can reveal by rolling up the sleeves. (Wear while running down London’s Oxford Street for best results.)
