Alexa Chung was named the coolest person of the summer in a new list of who's hot.

The TV presenter topped the annual list by the Observer beating off trendy artists, DJs and models.

The newspaper described the 24 year old T4 presenter as 'the Kate Moss of teen TV - effortless, elegantly edgy, and one of the few female presenters who hasn't got naked for a men's magazine.'

Since leaving her model beginnings behind Alexa has gone from being the new Popworld face to becoming a modern day fashion icon and all without even trying that hard.

"I'm so sick of girls pushing their boobs up in Myspace photographs," Alexa told the Observer, "I hate the way women want to be "hot" all the time. And I'm on youth TV, so I'd like to try and be a different kind of role model."
