The model has heaped praise on the Rolling Stones rocker for his bold eyeliner and "incredible rosy massive mouth".
She said: "A lot of my beauty icons are men like Mick Jagger in performance who wears eyeliner and always has that incredible rosy massive mouth, so although I might look like I'm trying to doll myself up like Isabella Rossellini, most of the time I'm trying to look like a dude. If you meet in the middle and take the essence of beauty, for example Mick Jagger in performance is playful, beautiful but also has a handsome quality, that's my approach to beauty - where I still want it to be fun and give things a go."
And Alexa loves to "balance" out her looks and if she wears an "outlandish" outfit, she goes for a simple make-up look.
She added: "I've prioritised clothes most of my life and if I'm wearing an outlandish outfit, I balance it out with a classic clean face to pull off a weird mix. Your are one or the other, it's about balance, for me I like the tension and juxtaposition."
In lockdown, Alexa sometimes puts a full face make-up in lockdown to "enhance" her mood.
She told The Sunday Telegraph's Stellar magazine: "I like the idea of glamour in the wrong places. There were days I didn't wear any make-up, and others where I would do full glamour. If I was making dinner I'd put on a gown and then spend the next five days in pajamas. Generally speaking, for mood enhancement, sometimes I'd make a massive effort to remember what I could look like if I wasn't turning into a house beast."
