Have you always envied celebrity airport outfits? Me too! Many celebs turn the airport gates into a runway every time they are jetting off and we can’t get enough of the photos and videos that emerge on social media. What is our obsession with celebrity airport outfits? Is it just fascinating to see them doing regular things or is it that everyone wishes to be just as stylish and wear more than just sweatpants and hoodies while travelling? Either way, Alia Bhatt seems to get it right every time and is our favourite airport-looks muse.
A thin line exists between looking like you put in no effort at all and too much of it. Alia has mastered this balance and manages to effortlessly blend comfort with fashion for many memorable airport looks. From comfy cargo pants and jackets to bold blazers and romantic dresses, the National Award-winning actor has done it all. Whether you want to put together outfits like Alia Bhatt or simply want inspiration for the next time you are catching a flight, keep reading!
1. Lazy Girl on a Mission
Do you ever just want to be wrapped in a blanket? While that remains to be socially acceptable, this look comes close and is great for those days when you just plan to take a nap on your flight later. Cargo joggers, a matching cropped sweatshirt and sneakers – the ultimate airport look which is chic and functional. Plus, it is a lazy girl hack as it takes away the hassle of finding complimentary tops and bottoms. You can also wear cargo joggers with other cropped shirts, sweaters, and pullovers to get a similar silhouette.

2. Giving Boss Lady Vibes
Whether you are on a work trip or want to rush to a meeting right after landing, this outfit idea is a game-changer. Feel powerful in a blazer while keeping it casual with jeans and sneakers for all your girl-bossing needs. Pair this with sunglasses and platform sneakers for a bold yet formal look. Alia Bhatt’s tote bag, sunglasses, and slick-back ponytail complement this outfit in the best way. Any slick-back hairstyle like a bun will look great with this ensemble.

3. Being Effortlessly Elegant
Breathable cotton suits are ideal for Indian weather and Alia Bhatt proves that you can don this look anywhere – even at the airport. The soft fabric will keep up the comfort factor, while the intricate designs and embroidery give you an elegant feel. Just make sure you don’t go for kurtas or dupattas with too many embellishments to stay light and keep it simple with trousers as a wide-legged or palazzo pants could come in the way of the long walks between security checks.

4. Setting Power Couple Goals
If you’re planning to travel with your partner soon, you need to try a coordinating airport outfit! The white co-ord outfits by Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor prove that you can look classy while matching with your boo. An important thing to note while planning your airport looks is the weather forecast of your destination. You don’t want to wear a breezy linen outfit while landing in colder temperatures. If you want to wear lighter fabrics, keep a jacket or hoodie handy for when you land and if you feel chilly during the flight.

5. Feeling Powerful In Pink
Yet another win for the business-casual aesthetic. This pink jumpsuit and blazer paired with a matching bag and lace-up shoes is the best example of how you can make a statement in formal wear. This monochrome pink outfit is perfect for the Barbiecore girlies but can be adapted to any colour — go for this year’s fall-winter favourites like butter yellow, cobalt blue, purple, grey, and emerald green. You can also wear jeans with a cinched jacket and white sporty sneakers for a similar bold look.

6. Retro Vibes
Retro prints have been around for quite some time and add that element of fun missing from throwing on jeans and a t-shirt. With simple outfits like this let your accessories pull the weight of making your outfit stand out. While this t-shirt with a hippie-inspired heart print, jeans and white sneakers could look basic, Alia pairs them with funky sunglasses and a statement red tote bag, taking it up a notch. I don’t have to list the benefits of carrying a tote handbag while travelling, but I must give a shout-out to stylish pieces that are functional.

7. Saying Goodbye To Pants
We love sustainable celebs! Alia Bhatt has been seen repeating her bags and clothes multiple times. This pink bag made an appearance in her monochrome look as well, proving that you can always look at your own closet for inspiration. For this flowy white maxi dress, the pink bag lends a pop of colour while the denim jacket adds functionality for the times you need to stay warm. Pair your dress with flats, sunglasses and a hair updo for an easy-going outfit.
Pro-tip: If you get cold easily, wear leggings or tights under your dress for an added layer.

8. Playing With Colours
Funky prints are a risk but can be rewarding when done right. Aliba Bhatt wore this co-ord striped set with purple-tinted glasses for an extra pop of colour. There are a plethora of options available when it comes to print. All you need to remember while styling these outfits is that the focus should stay in one place. Alia wore a complimentary solid pink undershirt with this over-the-top outfit, you can go for solid white or black undershirts with most prints. Keep your footwear and jewellery minimal as well when wearing head-to-toe prints.

Airport looks can be easy to curate whether you are shopping for completely new outfits or trying to breathe new life into your existing wardrobe. The key thing to remember is that you will be moving around a lot and you must find pieces that will stand the rough wear and tear of walking and carrying around luggage. Go for sturdy fabrics like cotton and fleece, wear minimal jewellery and choose footwear that will provide the right support for being on your feet for long periods of time. We hope you found the inspo you needed!
