Seen at Heathrow and LAX: 13 Iconic Airport Ensembles to Inspire Your Summer Travel Attire.

      From coffee runs in Mayfair to private yachts in the Mediterranean, stylish celebrity sightings can take on various forms. Yet, I would argue that the most fashionable off-duty looks can be found in the arrival and departure halls. While many of us think showing up for our flight in a tracksuit and comfortable sneakers is acceptable, it’s evident that Hollywood’s elite do not subscribe to this mindset. Need proof? Just glance at the array of iconic airport outfits that put our elastic waistbands and neck pillows to shame. Even in the era before express security lanes and first-class lounges, A-listers took to the skies dressed in a manner that epitomized elegance. (Think: Marilyn Monroe boarding a flight from New York City to Chicago in stilettos and a fur coat.) It’s true that celebrities have been rocking memorable airport outfits since commercial aviation began. You might imagine this trend would slow down with the rise of private jets, but I’d argue the opposite is true. From Nice Côte d'Azur airport during the Cannes Film Festival to Charles de Gaulle’s baggage carousels in Paris Fashion Week, one can always count on seeing someone noteworthy dressed in a way we’d never consider while flying. Certainly, you could say that looking good and setting fashion standards comes with being famous, but there’s something captivating about those who take airport style seriously. As the Euro Summer season kicks off—and as we ponder what outfits will ensure we look chic while sitting in premium economy—it’s fitting to look at the most iconic airport outfits for inspiration. From Daisy Edgar-Jones' breezy Gucci bags to the golden days of ‘90s supermodels boarding the Concorde, here are the best sartorial moments to grace the tarmac. Ready for takeoff?

      ### The 15 Most Iconic Airport Looks to Inspire Your Summer Travel Wardrobe

      1. **Bella Hadid**

      **Style Notes:** Bella Hadid’s 2022 look may not be overtly glamorous. In fact, if you didn’t know she was on the French Riviera, you might mistake her for coming from a Pilates class due to her form-fitting fabric and Apple AirPods Max. It’s these features that make her outfit so iconic. It’s well-known that wearing compression clothing is vital for long-haul flights; if you can look as though you’ve just stepped off a Tom Ford for Gucci runway, why wouldn’t you?

      **Shop the Look:**

      - No wardrobe is complete without a simple staple like this.

      - Layering adds depth to your outfit. Pairing two tops can instantly elevate your look.

      **Style Notes:** Gwyneth Paltrow has long been an advocate for minimalism. Before her G.Label by Goop days and vibrant Montecito wardrobe, she frequently donned classic pieces by Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren. In this 1998 photo taken at LAX, Paltrow exemplifies that investing in quality fabrics and timeless silhouettes is always a sound choice.

      **Style Notes:** When you think of Naomi Campbell and airports, you might picture her in a hazmat suit, face mask, and gloves. However, we cannot overlook this stunning look from 1998. The story goes that she was stranded in Milan and was about to miss Marc Jacobs’s debut ready-to-wear show, prompting the designer to send her a private jet laden with custom bags to take her to Paris. Although we may not have those luxury totes, you can replicate her ivory pedal pushers and navy fine-knit top.

      - **Massimo Dutti**

       Long Voluminous Cotton Blend Trench Coat

      **Style Notes:** Victoria Beckham and airports are a perfect pairing. The former pop star defies conventional style norms. Instead of sensible shoes and smart luggage, she opts for Hermès bags and peep-toe heels. That’s what we adore about Posh Spice—who else would face a swarm of paparazzi in a graphic tee declaring “fashion stole my style”?
