See Who Won"},"content":{"rendered":"

Flipping through the smorgasbord of fashion blogs and online sartorial editorials, there\u2019s scarcely a shortage of images of celebrities all\u00a0dolled\u00a0up at the airport. Snaps of the jet=lagged<\/del>\u00a0 jet-fresh singers and models make their rounds on the internet and spring wealths of fashion conversation, feeding\u00a0our abyssal thirst for the newest and the latest.<\/p>\n

And we are ever so enamoured, eagerly monitoring celebrity airport styles, over and over. Why is that\u00a0we care what they wear??<\/span><\/p>\n

Why So Kaypoh<\/h2>\n

Because what\u00a0draws us to the manufactured glamour of celebrity airport styles, lies in the very fact that celebrities have pulled these outfits together themselves with their bare hands. Imagine that! Without the professional assistance of stylists and makeup artists grooming them to perfection. <\/span><\/p>\n

This reflects fashion\u00a0choices that are more personal, telling us a little more about our favourite celebrities. And more importantly, these airport looks are not out of our league, thus luring us with the branding message we like to believe: celebrities are just like us.<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, I oso can<\/em>. Or at least that’s how it makes us feel.<\/p>\n

When Did ‘Airport Styles’ Become a Thing?<\/h2>\n

But every fever-pitched phenomenon has a beginning, right? A little digging on Racked.com told us that the turning point was when TMZ became far more\u00a0aggressive in sniffing out opportune moments to capture celebrities. Celebrity coverage was all the rage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2008, the Los Angeles Times published an article that described how celebrities are dealing with veritable excess baggage<\/em> at LAX\u00a0airport<\/a>\u00a0— \u00a0a clever reference to the passels of paparazzi in airport\u00a0terminals. These cameramen don’t hold back in their hunt for celebrity snapshots,\u00a0a hunger spurred by the world\u2019s growing appetite for visual content, especially on famous folk we love to scrutinize. <\/span><\/p>\n

Who What Wear<\/em> went on to become the first fashion website that banked on this opportunity, with the first post on celebrity airport style dating\u00a0back to 2006. Today, a simple search on the Who What Wear<\/em> site returns over\u00a0200 articles on\u00a0the fashion choices of celebrities at airports.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The World’s Best Dressed Travellers Award<\/h2>\n

British Airways<\/a>\u2014with the expertise of Hollywood stylist Elizabeth Saltzman\u2014released\u00a0an unprecedented list. The World\u2019s Best Dressed Travellers. An accolade that not only extols female celebrities who have made the effort to doll up for something as mundane and tiresome as travelling, but also reflects the shift in how we\u00a0celebrate fashion and consume news. <\/span><\/p>\n

We can’t deny that the endless stream of celebrity travel styles jumping out of magazine racks, and TV screens, and addictive websites, has transformed the way we dress for the airport ourselves. I know I wouldn’t be caught dead in flip flops at the airport anymore — it’s another opportune moment for make a style statement, even if its a quiet one.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Somewhere in the fashion universe, the analysts have looked at celebrities through their monocles and decided who the winners are. Here is a round up of\u00a0celebrities who have made the list of the official World’s Best Dressed Travellers award.<\/p>\n
