14 of the Most Iconic Fall Airport Outfits Ever Seen on Celebs
One way in which celebrities aren't just like us when they travel is that they frequently have cameras trailing them at the airport. It explains why they often dress to the nines for long travel days when many of their fellow passengers are wearing clothes that could pass for pajamas. It would certainly be enough to make me forgo the sweatpants and sneakers.
With fall's official arrival in a matter of days, autumnal outfits that I can't wait to wear have been occupying my brain. Looking at old celebrity airport photos is one of my favorite pastimes, and I set out on a mission to find the most epic fall airport looks from years past. (Disclaimer: Not all of these photos were taken in the fall, but these outfits would be perfect for the September to November period.)
Cindy Crawford, Halle Berry, Princess Diana, Taylor Swift, and more are up ahead, so prepare yourself for some very chic throwback fall airport style and some shopping, of course.
When you're wearing a coat like this, it doesn't really matter what's underneath it, but in Halle Berry's case, the rest of the outfit is perfect too.

Elsa Hosk's comfortable outfit is the perfect example of how to look chic without suffering on a lengthy flight.

Princess Diana's perfect airport outfit in the mid-'90s is as timeless as it gets, down to the loafers and effortlessly draped furry coat.
Shop the key piece:
Airport-style queen of the 2010s Kate Bosworth has so many good looks to choose from, but I'm partial to this easy fall skinny-jeans look. It actually makes me want to start wearing skinny jeans again.
Shop the key piece:
Nothing says iconic like this glamorous Naomi Campbell look from 1998. I'd love to be flanked by that much Louis Vuitton luggage.
Shop the key piece:
Given how popular red is for fall '23, I think you're going to see outfits like this a lot at the airport very soon.
Shop the key piece:
There were almost too many good '90s Cindy Crawford airport outfits to choose from, but I couldn't resist the maxi skirt and backless mules here.
Shop the key piece:
Remember when every celebrity wore one of these floppy felt hats and long scarves to the airport? Chrissy Teigen's version of the look is particularly chic.
Shop the key piece:
While I wouldn't wear a cropped sweater, a micro miniskirt, sheer tights, and heels on a flight, I probably would if I were Taylor Swift.
Shop the key piece:
An oversize denim jacket is the coolest way to elevate leggings. Just ask '90s-era Tyra Banks.
Shop the key piece:
Miranda Kerr is one of those celebs who's always gotten quite dressed up for the airport. With the return of sheer tights, I was drawn to this particular outfit. She proved that as long as you have a big coat to wrap yourself up in on the plane, you can kind of wear anything.
Shop the key piece:
Victoria Beckham is one of the most elevated airport dressers of all time. The loose red trousers she wore on this occasion would be perfect for a flight when you have to go straight to a meeting or dinner upon arrival.
Shop the key piece:
This very 2010s outfit comes courtesy of airport-style icon Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. I'm suddenly tempted to wear leggings with a long oversize cardigan.
Shop the key piece:
For some reason, this is the outfit I'll always see when I think of Selena Gomez's travel style. The red sweatsuit paired with strappy white heels was somewhat low-key but still very memorable.
