Anne Hathaway’s Airport Outfit Includes the Pants Every Frequent Flyer Avoids

By now, everybody knows that jeans—especially rigid, non-stretch ones—are best kept in your carry-on when traveling as opposed to on your person. After all, sitting in tight jeans can be difficult enough without adding in a long plane ride. And yet, that didn’t stop Anne Hathaway from hopping on a flight to LAX last week in perhaps the stiffest possible style: cargo jeans.

For her trip back to Los Angeles, the Devil Wears Prada star (with the help of her stylist, Erin Walsh) paired a super-light-wash pair of cargo jeans from Isabel Marant with a lightweight pink sweater, a red blazer, and a patterned, silk scarf tied around her neck. With it, she added even more accessories that TSA no doubt made her take off, including black Bulgari sunglasses, a Gucci’s Attaché crossbody bag, and most impractical of all for a security line, a pair of white, knee-high boots. 

Though ultimately a bit illogical for air travel, there’s no denying that Hathaway’s airport look was an even 10, no deductions. Shop it and more rigid jeans below.

A fresh take on a classic wash.

Levi’s iconic Ribcage jeans are probably the most flattering denim ever made. 

Black jeans are just as essential as blue ones. 

That perfect slouchy fit. 

I think I need a pair of these. No, I know I need a pair of these.

When is Reformation not tempting me to make impromptu purchases? 

These are the closest you’re going to get to vintage jeans without having to dig through a thrift store.

For the most luxurious jeans on the market, go to Khaite.

These are giving just the right amount of grunge vibes.

Yes, yes, 1000 times yes.

I wore these three times last week. 

If I didn’t know better, I’d assume these were designer

Re/Done never misses.

I’ve been leaning into darker denim these days. 

The wider the leg, the better the jeans. 

That perfect bootcut fit.
