Elvis-Inspired Glamour: Alexa Chung Shines at Venice Film Festival with Fiancé Tom Sturridge

Alexa Chung's Engagement Scandal: Is She About to Say "I Do" to Tom Sturridge?

The Venice Film Festival has always been a hotbed of glamour and excitement, but this year it's been upstaged by the latest development in Alexa Chung's high-profile romance with actor Tom Sturridge. The 41-year-old model turned heads on Wednesday as she stepped out in a quirky outfit that left everyone talking - and we're not just referring to her bold fashion choice!

Alexa, who has been rumored to be engaged to Tom for over a year now, was joined by her dashing fiancé at the film festival. But what's really got tongues wagging is the fact that she finally confirmed their engagement to her friends. According to insiders, Alexa is "over the moon" about the news and can't wait to start planning her dream wedding.

The couple first sparked engagement rumors in 2023 when they were spotted wearing matching rings on their respective fingers. But it wasn't until April last year that The Scholary Note exclusively revealed that Alexa had confirmed her engagement to Tom, with a source close to the actress saying: "Alexa has confirmed to her friends that she is indeed engaged to Tom and she is over the moon. She is in a great place and seems completely head over heels for him. They're a great match."

But what about Tom's perspective on marriage? Well, it seems like he's been converted by Alexa's charms! A source revealed: "Tom seems open to marriage now. He's always been a bit of a hopeless romantic, but since meeting Alexa, he's really fallen in love with the idea of settling down." And Alexa, who was once quoted as saying she didn't get why marriage was different from non-marriage, has clearly had a change of heart.

The couple's engagement comes after they made headlines for their on-again, off-again romance. They first went public with their relationship in 2022 when they attended day seven of the Wimbledon Championships together - and let's just say it was love at first sight! But what really got everyone talking was the fact that Tom brought his ex-girlfriend Sienna Miller along as a plus one.

Sienna, who shares a 12-year-old daughter Marlowe with Tom, looked stunning in a red dress as she cheered on her beau and Alexa from the sidelines. And while it seemed like the trio were getting along swimmingly, insiders revealed that Sienna has since welcomed a baby girl with her new boyfriend Oli Green.

But back to Alexa and Tom's engagement - we can't help but wonder what the future holds for this stylish couple. Will they go for a classic fairytale wedding or something more low-key? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: their romance is one of the most talked-about in Tinseltown right now!

Alexa's Venice Fashion Frenzy

But enough about the romance - let's talk fashion! Alexa turned heads on Wednesday with her bold and quirky outfit that featured an Elvis Presley-printed dress from Ashley Williams. The 41-year-old model paired the look with a pair of clashing leopard print stiletto heels and carried a large leather handbag. And to top it all off, she wore oversized sunglasses and clipped back her hair from her face.

Meanwhile, Tom looked dapper in a leather biker jacket with a denim shirt layered underneath and pinstriped trousers. It's clear that this couple is a force to be reckoned with on the fashion front - but can they bring their A-game to the altar?

The Couple's Whirlwind Romance

So what do we know about Alexa and Tom's whirlwind romance? Well, it all started in 2022 when they first went public with their relationship at Wimbledon. But insiders revealed that they had actually been dating for months before that - and things have only gotten more serious since then.

In April last year, The Scholary Note exclusively revealed that Alexa had confirmed her engagement to Tom, with a source close to the actress saying: "Alexa has confirmed to her friends that she is indeed engaged to Tom and she is over the moon. She is in a great place and seems completely head over heels for him."

And it seems like Tom feels the same way about his future wife! A source revealed: "Tom is absolutely besotted with Alexa. He loves her quirky sense of style and her passion for life - and he's really impressed by her talent as an actress."

But what about their plans for a wedding? According to insiders, Alexa and Tom are planning a small, intimate affair with just close friends and family in attendance. "They're not going for anything too over-the-top," said the source. "It'll be a classy, cool bash that reflects their personalities as a couple."

Alexa's Change of Heart

So what sparked Alexa's change of heart when it comes to marriage? Well, according to insiders, she's been won over by Tom's charms and his commitment to their relationship.

"A few months into dating Tom, Alexa realized that he was the real deal," said a source close to the actress. "She was impressed by his loyalty and dedication - and she knew that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him."

And it seems like Tom feels the same way! A source revealed: "Tom is absolutely smitten with Alexa. He loves her confidence and her sense of humor - and he's really inspired by her passion for life."
