Carla Bruni Just Traveled in a Quintessentially French Airport Outfit

While I am personally not above wearing sweatpants and an old college T-shirt to the airport, Carla Bruni is clearly a greater woman than me. Photographed at the airport in Milan, Bruni wore a polished outfit comprised of a navy blazer, white blouse, flared jeans, and white sneakers. Oh, and don't forget her most important accessory: her guitar case. I guess I'm behind the curve because I wasn't aware the French Italian model is also a musician!

Her flared jeans, in particular, are the perfect thing to wear if you want to give your outfit a French twist. Jeanne Damas, Anne-Laure Mais, and Tamara Mory are some of my favorite French influencers who love wearing flared jeans. There's no question that they're chicer than a pair of sweatpants, so I might need to rethink my next travel outfit and copy Carla Bruni. Scroll down to see her airport outfit and re-create the look.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
