While recently going down a '90s-airport-style rabbit hole (it's truly the best), there was one celebrity who kept getting my attention for her incredibly chic, attainable looks: Elle Macpherson. The iconic supermodel is well-known for her style, of course, but what struck me was how of-the-moment her outfits felt for 2024. You could have told me these were shot yesterday, and I'd believe you. Naturally, I saved my favorites to pull out for future travel days this year and beyond.
When it comes to traveling I am always after outfit inspiration that is comfortable without sacrificing style, which is why Macpherson's ensembles are right up my alley. Not to mention my never-ending appreciation for '90s fashion. Below, I focus on five of her best airport looks that incorporate an array of elevated basics including polished outerwear, standout knits, cool jeans, and timeless leggings. Keep scrolling to check out and shop each travel-ready outfit.
