The British TV presenter - who is often voted one of the world's most fashionable women - admits she often borrows outfits from her mum as she is a very classic dresser.
She said: "My mum is a very mummy mum. She cooks at the Aga and she's not vain in any way, but she is quite stylish. All the things that I wear I've borrowed from her, back in the day. Russell and Bromley was a staple in our house. A Louis Vuitton satchel. The Burberry mac. Some classic pieces."
Although she is now regarded as a style icon, Alexa admits her fashion sense was not understood when she worked in the US.
The 26-year-old brunette says stylists didn't know how to take her eccentric look when she was recording and would often try to change it.
She told Radio Times magazine: "I feel like American girls are a lot neater. Like, fur with leather trousers and heels.
"People would star to fuss with my hair and I'd say, 'No it's meant to be like that.'" Alexa insists she does not look at trends for inspiration and just she chooses whatever takes her fancy.
She said: "I don't intellectualise fashion. I just like things. I don't really follow trends."
