BA names best-dressed female travellers
Victoria Beckham has been named the world’s best dressed female celebrity traveller in British Airways’ Best Dressed Traveller List 2016 – #bestdressedtraveller.
The former Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer and husband to David beat stars including Amal Clooney and Angelina Jolie to the top spot, as compiled by the airline and Hollywood fashion stylist and Vanity Fair’s contributing editor Elizabeth Saltzman.
Saltzman, whose clients include Gwyneth Paltrow, Uma Thurman and Saoirse Ronan, said: "Victoria Beckham always gets it right when flying and it’s so impressive. Usually there is a menswear element to her travel wardrobe, it’s chic and sophisticated but still classic and comfortable.
"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."
British Airways Best Dressed Traveller List was created to celebrate the relationship between flying and fashion and honour today’s globe-trotting trendsetters, spanning the worlds of film, music and entertainment, said the airline.
Plus, it has new-look short-haul cabins and a new First cabin on the Boeing 787s to promote.
This is the first award to be announced, with the Best Dressed Male Traveller being unveiled in the coming months.
So, will Victoria’s husband David make the cut?
