Behind those high-energy guitars and keyboards rocking is Alexis Krauss, the female half of the pop duo. In person, Krauss looks like she perfectly embodies her music, sporting distressed denim jackets, muscle shirts and high-waisted acid wash cutoffs as her go-to uniform. With her bold, black straight-cut bangs and signature black Ray-Bans, she carries the same cool, old-school punk\/grunge demeanor displayed in Sleigh Bell&#8217;s music. From the moment the camera panned to her driving and wearing her usual acid-wash denim jacket that showed off her arm tattoos, complimented with layers of spiky bracelets, spiked driving gloves and sunglasses, she established that cool-but-a-little-bad-girl demeanor that she soon displayed by pushing bandmate Derek Miller \u2014 presumably dead in the passenger seat \u2014 right out of the car when he slouches over onto her. We&#8217;re enchanted by the girl herself, as well as her style. We&#8217;ve compiled a Pinterest board of some of Krauss&#8217; signature looks and options from retailers Forever 21, Urban Outfitters and ASOS so you can emulate Krauss&#8217; laid-back cool style.<\/p>\n<pre><code>[fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=\"yes\" overflow=\"visible\"][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=\"1_1\" background_position=\"left top\" background_color=\"\" border_size=\"\" border_color=\"\" border_style=\"solid\" spacing=\"yes\" background_image=\"\" background_repeat=\"no-repeat\" padding=\"\" margin_top=\"0px\" margin_bottom=\"0px\" class=\"\" id=\"\" animation_type=\"\" animation_speed=\"0.3\" animation_direction=\"left\" hide_on_mobile=\"no\" center_content=\"no\" min_height=\"none\"][prw username=\"audiofemme\" boardname=\"loud-tasteless-sleigh-bells\" maxfeeds=\"10\" divname=\"myList\" printtext=\"0\" target=\"newwindow\" useenclosures=\"yes\" thumbwidth=\"100\" thumbheight=\"100\" showfollow=\"medium\"]<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>[\/fusion_builder_column][\/fusion_builder_row][\/fusion_builder_container]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every Thursday, AF\u00a0profiles a style icon from the music world.
