While the rest of us might take a transatlantic trip as an opportunity to bust out our yoga pants and coziest hoodie, celebrities, knowing there will be hoards of paparazzi waiting for them at Arrivals, don’t exactly have that luxury (unless of course that hoodie is Vetements). Now, the tabloid phenomenon known as “airport style” has officially been turned into a competitive sport, with British Airways naming Victoria Beckham the World’s Best-Dressed Traveler.
The designer has no doubt racked up some impressive frequent flyer miles with the airline over the years, but but this particular honor owes more to her first class outfits—stiletto heels, $2000 handbags, leather leggings, and face-shielding sunglasses—which she has honed since her early days of sheath dresses, aviators, and pilot caps (yes, she took the directive a tad literally back in 2009). One thing notably absent in the photos of her darting in and out of LAX? Luggage.
Guess a wheelie suitcase isn’t best-dressed material?
