Ever wonder how celebrities look so cool and put together while traveling despite all the chaos an airport can bring? Us too. Using a few prime examples of stellar jet-set style, we break down how to remain chic and comfortable when dressing for takeoff (it’s possible, we promise). Some key takeaways to keep in mind? Layer thoughtfully, accessorize well and focus on the classics (neutral hues and tried-and-true silhouettes—forgo anything that feels too trendy). Here, your definitive guide to airport style, as demonstrated by a crop of today’s most stylish celebs.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
A nubby cardigan coat (or sweater, depending on weather) makes for a cozy travel companion. It's a chic finishing touch, and it serves as a makeshift blanket on the plane where the temperature can often be unpredictable.

Dakota Fanning
An exemplary summer jet-set look, a sweet sundress with a loose silhouette pairs perfectly with a practical platform sandal and straw hat.
Sienna Miller
A knit tank radiates sophistication more than a paper-thin cotton one does. Style with cropped trousers and mid-heeled mules. When you land, add a red lip if your look needs a boost.
Diane Kruger
Give your airport style a French-girl upgrade by swapping out your skinnies for flared jeans and throwing an oversize blazer over a tee.
Victoria Beckham
It's hard to go wrong with a monochromatic look—head-to-toe black is a fail-safe option for an unfussy, streamlined travel ensemble.
Jessica Alba
Add panache to a casual tee-and-jeans ensemble with a pair of luxe, pointed-toe flats. For added cool points, tack on a great fedora and chic sunnies.
