In 2006, Chung became co‑host of Channel 4's music show Popworld, known for its irreverent and awkward style of interviews. In 2007, she became a long-time host of Channel 4's early morning music programme Freshly Squeezed. That same year, Chung left England to pursue a career in the US, where she presented It's On with Alexa Chung for MTV. The show was cancelled in December 2009.

Chung has been recognised for her fashion style. She has been described as "the 21st-century it girl" and as "a proto-influencer". In January 2010, Mulberry debuted the "Alexa", a bag named after and inspired by her. Chung has won three British Style Awards at the Fashion Awards which are organised by the British Fashion Council. In 2013 she wrote the book It, a collection of personal writings, drawings and photographs. Her fashion label Alexa Chung, stylized alexachung, launched in May 2017 and closed in 2022.
