The intricate star encrusted headband featured a band of stars placed strategically at the end of delicate wires, with longer adornments circling her head. 

Beaming  as she balanced the no doubt heavy piece on her head, Alexa kept the rest of her look simple.

Opting for barely-there eye make-up and bold red lipstick, she added a touch of blush, letting her bright blue peepers do the talking.

Don a flirty asymmetrical frock like Alexa

Alexa Chung rung in the new year at a Masquerade Ball in NYC with her Swedish actor boyfriend, Alexander Skarsgård.

The British model went all out when it came to her outfit when she donned a festive dress by Simone Rocha. The midi length frock was covered in a metallic floral pattern with an asymmetrical neck and hemline and a fur trim.

Alexa teamed her dress with a statement making headpiece that was bedecked with gold stars and a slick of red lipstick.

Since this spectacular creation is from a few seasons back (it was previously worn by Keira Knightley and Alexa herself) it's no longer available online, but Yoox has a strikingly similar version up for grabs. Click through to their website (right) to nab it now.

And working understated elegance to perfection, she accentuated her long lean figure in a floral-patterned cap-sleeved dress.

Accessorising with a faux fur stole, she looked perfectly placed at the grand ball.

And it soon emerged the piece was custom-made by Alexa's friend at very short notice.

Taking to Instagram, Alexa gushed over the extravagant star-encrusted headpiece, writing: 'Oh yeah and with 24 hours notice my friend knocked up this creation.'

Alexa has been dating Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgard, 40, since last year.

Despite frequently popping over to New York, and supporting him during his most recent film The Legend Of Tarzan, the couple keep their relationship low-key.

Earlier in the year it was rumoured that an engagement could be on the cards between Alexa and Alexander.

'Alexa has told friends that [an English stately home] would be her dream wedding location – and now they are saying that they wouldn't be surprised if an engagement was on the way,' a source previously told Grazia magazine.

'Alexa's relationship with Alex is going great. That's why she was happy for him to meet her family – she would only ever introduce someone she was serious about to them.'

However Alex denied the couple had decided to tie the knot in an interview in July.
