Celebrity airport outfits are often reserved for the realm of the unattainable. Satin pants and stilettos. White cowboy boots and matching white sun shades. Bodycon dresses and knee-high peep-toe boots. The checklist, as you may think about, goes on.
But this weekend, Gigi Hadid added some much-needed practicality to the combo. The model left New York’s JFK airport carrying a black T-shirt, black leggings, white sneakers, a denim jacket and a few easy sun shades—AKA what you (in all probability) wore the airport the last time you went touring.

While it’s refreshing to see a movie star take to the airport in such a wise ensemble, it’s by no means shocking that Hadid’s main the pack. The model has mastered a sort of comfy-cute athleisure aesthetic that retains her wanting sharp-yet-casual wherever she goes. You’d be hard-pressed to catch her in one thing apart from a tank prime, leggings or sneakers—except she’s on a purple carpet, in fact.
Any time I see photographs of Hadid strolling the streets of New York or Los Angeles, I’ve a real-life “celebrities—they’re just like us” second. Whom amongst us hasn’t stepped out in a black cami and black ripped denims? Sweatpants and sneakers? A turtleneck sweater and leggings? Hadid is on the market being the wise model icon all of us want. (Not all heroes put on capes.)
And another factor: If you’re one of many few who’s by no means taken to the airport in Gigi’s expertly assembled ensemble, give it a shot. The leggings will preserve you cozy and cell as you shift in your seat on the aircraft. The T-shirt is breathable sufficient for these too-hot beginning-of-flight moments however lined sufficient for these freezing mid-flight ones. The jacket is a blanket and outerwear in a single. And the sneakers require no clarification.
When mixed, these components work collectively to maximise consolation and practicality. And the very best half is: You can step off the aircraft nearly anyplace and look cute sufficient for a fast Instagram.
