Cate Blanchett Wore the Trend I'd Never Wear to the Airport

published 30 September 2024

It's always interesting to see where celebs are headed and what they're wearing whenever they touch down at an airport. Whether flying private or commercial, stars of all magnitudes must contend with how to dress for a flight—especially when they know they'll be photographed. Case in point, actress Cate Blanchett was spotted at JFK International Airport wearing an all-white ensemble and oversize shades.

Typically, the Australia-born megastar aces airport style. From denim-on-denim designs to three-piece suits, Blanchett isn't one for keeping it casual. This jumpsuit outfit, while certainly chic, seems much more fashionable than functional. Completely disrobing to use the restroom is not ideal, especially in the air, and wearing a one-piece makes it unavoidable. Blanchett's matching white sneakers, however, are a step in the right direction.

The combo of comfort and style will have fellow passengers turning their heads as you walk down the aisle to find your seat. Bonus points for a brightly colored carry-on and cheeky tote bag, right? All aboard!
