<p>Turner, the lead singer of the Arctic Monkeys, looked like he always does—flannel clothes and messy hair—when he started walking up the stairs to the VIP section of a Holt Renfrew party that his girlfriend, MTVs Alexa Chung, was DJing. Unfortunately, his appearance didn’t impress the bouncer, who sarcastically denied him access. UPDATE: A spokesperson from Holt&#8217;s says there wasn&#8217;t a VIP area at the party, only a restricted area for interviews. And that no one was turned away from there based on their wardrobe.</p>
