I’m not quite sure why an airline would compile a list of “best dressed travellers” – purely because it’s going to offend a lot of people who aren’t included, or are not as high up that list as they might like to be.
Nevertheless, British Airways has done just that in association with Hollywood fashion stylist Elizabeth Saltzman.
According to a media release, it’s about celebrating “the relationship between flying and fashion and to honour today’s globe-trotting trendsetters, spanning the worlds of film, music and entertainment”.
Anyway, the first place on this list is occupied by Victoria Beckham, formerly known as Posh Spice. The rest of the top 10, in order, are Amal Clooney, Kendall Jenner, Angelina Jolie, Gwen Stefani, Charlize Theron, Taylor Swift, Marion Cotillard, Lupita Nyong’O and Heidi Klum.
I guess one of the conditions was that you not only had to be well dressed, but famous as well.
Or, as Ms Saltzman says: “Flying today is more accessible than ever. People are more aware of themselves, whether it is their health and beauty regimes, time management or carbon footprint. The women on this list are all powerful examples of the modern world. Their style is classic with a personal twist. This is about the power of women and being able to balance it all.”
