As someone who travels a good bit and has a tendency to observe what people are wearing (hey, that’s my job!), I think it’s safe to say I have opinions when it comes to airport outfits (and shoes, as you’ll see here). I’m extremely careful when choosing my airport outfits, as they have to check so many boxes and serve so many purposes, so the topic of what not to wear is something I’ve put quite a lot of thought into.
I do think there’s a happy medium when it comes to airport attire. Obviously, most people wouldn’t dream of wearing some of the getups (e.g., miniskirts, crop tops, high heels, etc.) that celebrities wear to the airport, but I, for one, typically steer clear of outfits that could pass as pajamas. There are a few especially cringeworthy outfits that I repeatedly see in terminals. Read on to find out what they are and to get the lowdown what to wear instead.
Exposing a ton of skin is never a good idea at the airport, so choose pieces with a little more coverage, even when it’s hot outside. On Kate Bosworth: HVN dress; Stella McCartney bag; Tabitha Simmons Ines Flats ($352)I’ve learned the hard way that tight 100% cotton jeans are a big mistake, and heels will only do you harm when running to catch a connection. Opt for loose jeans and sneakers instead. On Bella Hadid: Mandkhai sweater; Dior belt; Miss Sixty x Elizabeth Sucler jeans; Fendi tote; Balenciaga sneakersThe hallmark of a successful airport outfit? You can move freely in it, but it still looks polished. Do yourself a favor and avoid tight pieces that restrict your movement. WHO: Cindy BrunaAgain, exposing vast amounts of skin will leave you cold and feeling grimy on a dirty plane. Instead, choose comfortable pieces that provide more coverage. On Sienna Miller: Wrangler jeans; Proenza Schouler bag; Prada bootsWhile comfortable, logistically, a jumpsuit tends to be a regrettable choice when dashing to the restroom during a tight connection. Alternatively, sleek leggings and a sweatshirt will never get in your way. On Rita Ora: Roara Republic sweatshirt; Balenciaga sneakersIt’s tempting to just hope that your pajamas will pass as a fashion statement, but unless you’re wearing heels and accessorizing to the nines, that’s probably not the case. If you want a more elevated look, try an equally comfortable tracksuit. On Cate Blanchett: Tod’s bagI’ve made the mistake of wearing too many accessories to the airport before, and I always quickly regret it. Security checkpoints are that much worse, and you’ll undoubtedly get annoyed by those statement earrings midflight. WHO: Irina Shayk and Stella Maxwell

“I think this season is all about the ‘go bold or go home’ trend, which tie-dye plays into. It’s all about having fun with your look and embracing more youthful throwback trends.”“I love that you can wear them with any outfit regardless of occasion or clothing trend. They bring an element of luxury to your look without being too formal.”“We love our puka shells and are seeing the trend continue this year. Look to colored shells as the newest update, layered with various lengths and bold colors.”“Mara Hoffman’s Libby top looks great with everything—blue jeans, linen pants, a flowy skirt, or layered over a slip dress… just a few ways to incorporate it into your warm-weather wardrobe.”“I’m always trying to create an hourglass silhouette, so this faux-wrap dress from Tanya Taylor is my go-to for a feminine and effortless summer workhorse.”“These Derek Lam 10 Crosby pants are my idea of perfect—a flattering high waist and wide leg, feminine but with a ‘borrowed from the boys’ vibe, and can be worn with sneakers, sandals, or heels.”“Anklets were something we saw a lot more on the runways for S/S 19 and provided the inspiration for us to work with a number of our brands, including Timeless Pearly, Aurelie Bidermann, and Anissa Kermiche on exclusive anklet collaborations. The charm styles from Alighieri are a standout for me and are a highlight accessory for the summer.”“Sparrows Weave is a new brand for S/S 19, and I love their luxurious and thoughtful approach to the vacation handbag. The use of the wicker alongside the refined details and leather in the bags make them the ultimate travel accessory for the beach to the bar.”
With my busy schedule packed that includes meetings on the hour as well as upcoming travel to plan for, I recently thought it seemed like the perfect time to test out a week of meals delivered from Sakara Life. I had just come off of a weekend of drinks at an L.A. film screening and dinner out with friends—and I discovered my jeans were a little harder to button than they were last week—so I was ready to press reset on my eating habits. Plus, my skin, which is generally free from breakouts, had been acting up, so I was feeling extra-inspired to rid my diet of caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods and (fingers crossed) return my complexion to its regular glow.
While there are plenty of meal programs out there, Sakara Life, founded by Whitney Tingle and Danielle DuBoise, is a favorite among the fashion and beauty set. It has been test-driven by editors atThe New York Times, Into the Gloss, Allure, Byrdie, and plenty more), and it has a cult following among the celeb set. Wellness guru Gwyneth Paltrow is a huge fan, and model Lily Aldridge has been following their program for four years now, which, to be honest, is pretty remarkable.
Unlike other meal delivery programs with processed foods loaded with preservatives, Sakara takes a mindful approach. The meals are all organic, plant-based, and are delivered to your door within 48 hours of fresh, locally sourced ingredients arriving in their kitchens. Plus for the true foodies (myself included), you can rest assured knowing that Michelin-starred restaurants help design the recipes and menus. While I have tried Sakara’s food before, I’ve never committed to a full five days of its signature meal program. Ahead, I’m highlighting my takeaways and what it was really like.
Breakfast on the first day of the program.Highlights of my first day were the meals, but also the water concentrates and beauty chocolates.The granola tastes like cocoa puffs, but it’smade with superfood ingredients.I could easily eat this for lunch every day.Here’s what two days worth of Sakara Life meals looks like after they’re delivered to your door.Danielle DuBoise and Whitney Tingle just launched a book, Eat Clean, Play Dirty, that includes recipes for some of their most popular meals. I’m already planning to make the wild mushroom pasta and sweet potato tartines.I didn’t realize these would be included with the program but loved them. The perfect healthy snack with a rich chocolate flavor.
