Another season of high travel is upon us, as spring break vacations wrap up and we start planning upcoming summer holidays. Whether you’re counting down the days to a big trip that’s been planned for months, or have a few weekend adventures on the horizon, one thing is for certain—a trip to the airport (or train station) is probably in your near future. Not only is it important to pack a plethora of cute vacation ensembles, but curating the right travel looks is also a must. Since celebrities are always on the move, who better to give us some much-needed inspiration to make our travel outfits all the easier—and chicer?
Vogue’s Favorite Celeb-Inspired Travel Essentials
The key to nailing your travel outfit is to focus on comfortable yet stylish basics that can take you from a red-eye flight straight to the streets. Take for instance, Margot Robbie, Miley Cyrus, and Greta Lee’s penchant for wide-leg jeans. Whether styled with a plain white T-shirt, cozy cardigan, or an oversized button-up shirt, they’re classic yet comfortable essentials that still read put-together—plus, will get you through TSA without looking like you just stumbled out of bed.
Luxe sweatpants are another great starting point, too, as Vittoria Ceretti proves with a wide-leg pair, layered effortlessly with a cream-colored utilitarian jacket and slip-on Vans sneakers for supermodel off-duty flair—or try a jogger silhouette with a bomber jacket and cashmere crewneck, similar to Tracee Ellis Ross. And as the warm weather finally warms up, why not grab a pair of breezy poplin pants, like Kendall Jenner, who styled a white pair with a khaki car coat, navy sweater, and black glove flats, while touching down in Milan.
And when all else fails, lean into the polish and ease of an all-black ensemble—a travel hack that Zoë Kravitz and Julianne Moore regularly rely on. Both actresses are frequently seen in different iterations of this formula, pairing black outerwear with layered basics and wide-leg trousers—just choose between clean white sneakers or ballerina flats for the final finish.
Below, shop 18 chic airport looks inspired by celebrities, to make your upcoming trips all the more stylish.
The Right Foundations
A trench coat is a traveler’s best friend, especially on overnight flights that tend to run chilly. It can also serve as your outer layer upon arrival, as Zendaya demonstrates perfectly. She wears hers atop a white poplin skirt as a chic touchdown look, styled with comfortable leather loafers from the Row and J.W. Anderson’s green messenger bag, completing the masterful mix; it’s cool, classic, yet still has a bit of that downtown attitude.
Black Monochrome
Julianne Moore is frequently seen in different iterations of the all-black formula while in travel mode, often pairing black outerwear with wide-leg trousers and layering basics, such as a button-down shirt or crewneck tee. Take her lead and add clean white sneakers, a giant shopper (hers most often being from Bottega Veneta), and black sunnies for an easy on-the-go uniform.
A No-Fail Combination
Margot Robbie knows the strength of the failproof jeans-and-T-shirt combo, especially when covering ground between flights, fittings, and everything in between. While walking the Sydney airport, the actress proved an oversized tee and equally baggy jeans (hers are cuffed) are the way to go. Add timeless accessories, like cap-toe flats, a minimalist-friendly belt, and large burgundy handbag, to dress up the casual look without sacrificing on comfort.
Neutrals Enthusiast
As the warm weather hits, trade your sweats for a pair of breezy poplin pants, just like Kendall Jenner. The supermodel styled her billowy white trousers with an understated navy sweater, leaning into transitional outerwear with a khaki car coat in tow. Black glove flats and a tote bag from the Row, along with signature sunnies, are all the minimalist-minded accents that always keep her looking sleek from one destination to the next.

On the Move
Best dressed Jacob Elordi is no stranger to an airport—and he has the travel wardrobe to prove it. Each time he makes a move, we take notes—like this easy barn jacket and dark denim pairing. Layered with a white T-shirt, he completes the ensemble with soft loafers, effortlessly cool sunglasses—plus, Bottega Veneta’s take on the travel briefcase—making that early morning departure time all the more stylish.
The Travel Uniform
Nicole Kidman dips into a transitional outerwear idea perfect for transatlantic travels—her style du jour being the black leather jacket. When worn with a fitted T-shirt and beige wide-leg pants, plus white Plimsoll sneakers and a roomy tote, it strikes the perfect balance between fashion-forward sharpness and long-haul comfort.

Sporty-Chic in a Quarter-Zip
Wide-leg denim is a serious staple in our books, and Jennie Kim’s travel fit demonstrates how perfect it is for city hopping. Wear yours with a quarter-zip sweater, white T-shirt, and flat shoes, for a look that reads relaxed with just the right amount of elevated style. Add a roomy shoulder bag in brown and a red belt for a little pop of color and textural interest.
Supermodel Sweats
Supermodel Vittoria Ceretti knows a thing or two about good airport style. Here, she makes a case for black sweatpants, styled the cool-girl way. Opting for a wide-leg silhouette that looks almost like trousers, she balances the volume on bottom with a fitted baby tee and a cream utilitarian jacket. Slip-on Vans sneakers have become her signature travel go-to, perfect for easy on-and-off in security lines or while on board.

Cozy in Cashmere
What’s the one essential that Gigi Hadid can’t fly without? Cashmere, of course. The Guest in Residence founder is never on the move without something impossibly soft and cozy, so use her travel uniform as a guide. A curated airport look can be as easy as a bright cashmere cardigan, styled over a white T-shirt and high-waisted jeans. Cozy socks, leather loafers, and a roomy suede handbag finish things off with supermodel finesse.
Quiet Luxury Necessities
A good rule of thumb is to keep to the classics, as Miley Cyrus demonstrates with her timeless style while on-the-move. Never underestimate the power of core pieces that can be reworn over and over—wherever life, or your travels, take you. Case in point: an investment-worthy trench coat, a black T-shirt, and no-fail blue jeans. When styled with black ballet flats and a hardworking tote bag—it’s a formula you can easily rely on at your destination, too.
Monochrome Dressing
Whether on the red carpet or the street, Zoë Kravitz always looks good—and yes, that includes at the airport. She has a knack for wearing minimalist pieces that can actually be reworn upon arrival—a great tip for us all. A cozy collarless coat, oversized T-shirt, and slouchy pants (all in monochrome black), exude pure comfort, while dressed up flats, her signature straw bag, and some major bling, give the look a dash of personality.
Unboring Basics
Greta Lee makes the case for traveling with a little more polish—case in point: her sleek button-down shirt and jeans pairing. They are tried-and-true basics that can be just as comfortable as sweats, if you choose roomier shapes, such as this oversized-fit shirt or a relaxed, wide-leg jean silhouette. You can’t go wrong with a canvas tote for those in-flight necessities, then add sleek loafers to finish things off, the TSA-ready way.
Off-Duty Essentials
Supermodels tend to accumulate plenty of airline miles in a year—so you can trust their off-duty wardrobes are loaded with reliable, travel outfit ideas to match. Vittoria Ceretti proves nothing is better than a classic white T-shirt and baggy boyfriend jeans, but adds a bit of modern allure with a coveted, brown leather bomber jacket and her signature, slip-on Vans sneakers.
Sport-Coded Flair
Tracee Ellis Ross proves there is a chic way to do sweatpants while on-the-go. Here, she balances white joggers with a roomy black jacket, a seemingly easy combo, but then kicks it up a notch in the accessories department. Her leopard print tote is a major fashion investment, also making for the perfect personal item to stow on board (a true, fashion insider luggage hack), with street style-approved sneakers and sunnies adding those extra cool points.
It-Girl Mainstays
From LAX to LHR, Charli XCX makes a case for the travel-friendly way to wear the black capri pants so many It-girls rely on these days. She pairs them with other buzzy Y2K-coded items—a coordinating boatneck tee, styled with a chunky low-slung belt, Maison Margiela Tabi flats, and an oversized Le City bag from Balenciaga (another designer carry-on!), tying everything together with that peak ’00s energy, that is so Brat.
Pajama Party
Take a page from the Kate Moss playbook and wear your pajama top (choose silk or crisp cotton poplin) while between destinations—it’s one less thing to pack! Style with simple straight-leg jeans, a top-handle bag, and black ballet flats, for a look that reads pared back, yet perfectly put together. Ray-Ban Wayfarers and some sparkly bijoux add the ideal finishing touches for that truly first-class feel.
Ladylike Twists
Miley Cyrus might be known for daring red carpet moments, but this travel outfit is giving downright wearability. She reworks ladylike mainstays in true jet-set fashion, wearing a cardigan-as-top, paired back to the slouchiest of jeans. Along with refined accessories—think: classic ballet flats, a luxe weekender bag, and throwback sunnies—she brings a modern twist to Upper East Side classics.
Essential Tailoring
Gwyneth Paltrow makes never-ending travel days look easy. Her business-on-top, athleisure-on-bottom vibe is perfect for any trip that requires a direct dash to an important meeting or appointment once disembarked. The tailored blazer overtop a cowl-neck blouse reads pure Gwyn, with black cropped leggings and slip-on shoes being the ultimate in-transit trick. Here, you can always throw a coordinating trouser pant into your cobalt blue personal item, to quickly change into once you reach your destination.
