Airplane Outfits Inspired by Jet-Setting Celebrities

Travelling can be challenging enough without the pressure of choosing the perfect outfit to wear on a long airplane flight. Dressing in style is a smart strategy, though, if you're hoping to get upgraded to first class, or just want to make a great impression on arrival. We've put together our top 10 travel outfits inspired by celebrities, to help you look fashionable and feel your best during long trips home or elsewhere.

Keira Knightley

Keira channels a classic, chic Parisian style in this French-influenced travel outfit. Skinny jeans in a vintage wash are the perfect base for layering on a striped boatneck shirt and military-inspired pea coat. This comfortable outfit would look great with or without the jacket, making it a versatile, go-to choice for long airplane trips.

Cameron Diaz

Here's how to tweak a super-comfortable, casual travelling outfit to make it look stylish. Cameron Diaz wears a simple, loose-fitting grey tee-shirt and slim, ankle-length jeans. Then she adds high-quality accessories in neutral shades to elevate her basics, including a buttery leather tote, nude ankle boots, oversized sunglasses and a grey fringed scarf.

Rebecca Romjin

As a supermodel and actress, Rebecca Romjin has spent a good deal of time on planes. Here, she's pictured en route in a dark wash, denim jumpsuit that we think makes an inspired travel outfit. We'd swap out the cherry red ankle boots for black ones, but otherwise we give this travel ensemble high points for style and comfort factors.  

Cat Deeley

It takes a brave woman to wear white jeans on an airplane, and a stylish one to make them look this good. Cat Deeley makes skinny white jeans look all-season appropriate by matching them with a camel cape and black accessories. Gold jewelry, always right with white jeans, and classic black sunglasses also help make this ensemble look first-class ready.  

Kelly Ripa

Here's how to wear boyfriend jeans and still look ready for an upgrade to first class. Kelly Ripa layers a classic wool coat in camel over a sheer white button-down shirt and relaxed boyfriend jeans. Pointy high heeled shoes in an neutral shade give the petite TV personality height and add a feminine touch to this inspired-by-the-boys outfit.  

Heidi Klum

Animal print is always a chic choice with denim, as shown here on supermodel Heidi Klum. The well-travelled model and TV host balances a bold leopard print blouse with flare jeans and nude platform sandals. She also proves that snakeskin is a neutral, as on her eye-catching belt.

Dakota Fanning

Talented actress Dakota Fanning looks effortlessly chic for airline travel in boyfriend jeans. What makes this outfit work so well is the tailored fit of her cropped black blazer, which upgrades her loose-fitting white tee-shirt. An artfully wrapped, soft fringe scarf ties the look together and can double as a pillow, when folded, on long flights.  

Rosie Huntington-Whitely

Here's how a Victoria's Secret model covers up for airplane travel, and looks fashionable from head to toe. Rosie pairs form-fitting black skinny jeans and a comfortable sweatshirt with a laser-cut leather jacket that instantly upgrades her outfit. We love the pop of color in her high heeled ankle boots, too. The wide-brimmed hat may not be for everyone, but consider that it would make a great light shade if you want to sleep on the plane.

Kate Bosworth

We're in love with Gabrielle Union's effortless charm in this tee-shirt and jeans travelling outfit. The actress is casually chic in shredded boyfriend jeans and a well-fitting sports tee with bright, matchy-matchy accessories.  

Actress and celebrity fashion plate Kate Bosworth wears a classic travel outfit that will always look chic. A classic trench coat is the perfect topper for a simple white shirt and perfect-fitting, ankle-length skinny jeans. She upgrades the look for first class travel with aviator-style sunglasses and stacked heel, color blocked ankle boots.
