In her reflections, Chung opened up about her most memorable style moments.
Glamour Women of the Year Awards, 2009
“I really liked those shoes — they were from Chanel, and I was jazzed about wearing them. So I found an outfit that would work with them.”
Met Gala, New York, 2010
“I had never been to a Met ball before. I can’t remember the theme, but I wanted to look like Bianca Jagger. I loved the Phillip Lim outfit, and he made me those shoes, but they were a size too small.”

AG Launch Event, 2015
“I made the outfit for AG. The star-spangled boots were from Tommy Hilfiger, and I stole them right off the runway — literally.”
British Fashion Awards, 2016
“I was obsessed with the Prada look, and I was begging to borrow it. But it was see-through, so we had to go back and keep ‘flash testing’ it.”
Paris Couture Fashion Week, 2017
“I love Miu Miu. I really liked those shoes, and they made me think I looked like I’m a London girl!”
