21 Celeb Airport Outfits From the '90s That Look So 2020

by Kristen Nichols

Is there anything cooler than celebrity looks from the '90s? In this editor's opinion, not really. I grew up reading stacks of magazines to uncover the outfits of everyone from Cindy Crawford to Naomi Campbell to Gwyneth Paltrow and imitated them as closely as I was able to. I recently took a turn through the '90s photo archives, and it occurred to me just how relevant their looks are to this day—specifically their travel looks.

In fact, their outfits predicted many of the big 2020 trends on the horizon for the year ahead. Yep, we saw tailored suiting, lightweight leather separates, big bags, and Bermuda shorts—all trends that are set to be huge in the coming months. Want inspiration for how to wear them yourself? Go on to see the best '90s celebrity airport style in 21 outfits, and get ready to repeat them.
