By now, everybody knows that jeans—especially rigid, non-stretch ones—are best kept in your carry-on when traveling as opposed to on your person. After all, sitting in tight jeans can be difficult enough without adding in a long plane ride. And yet, that didn't stop Anne Hathaway from hopping on a flight to LAX last week in perhaps the stiffest possible style: cargo jeans.
For her trip back to Los Angeles, the Devil Wears Prada star (with the help of her stylist, Erin Walsh) paired a super-light-wash pair of cargo jeans from Isabel Marant with a lightweight pink sweater, a red blazer, and a patterned, silk scarf tied around her neck. With it, she added even more accessories that TSA no doubt made her take off, including black Bulgari sunglasses, a Gucci's Attaché crossbody bag, and most impractical of all for a security line, a pair of white, knee-high boots.
Though ultimately a bit illogical for air travel, there's no denying that Hathaway's airport look was an even 10, no deductions. Shop it and more rigid jeans below.
On Anne Hathaway: Veronica Beard Miller Dickey Jacket ($798); Isabel Marant Vayoneo Cargo Jeans ($514) and boots; Eolas Alba Crewneck ($275); Gucci Attache Large Shoulder Bag ($3590); Bulgari B.Zero1 Sunglasses ($433)
