In the world of K-pop, the stage isn’t the only runway. The airport has become a legendary battleground for style, where idols turn a simple walk from the car to the departure gate into a full-blown fashion show. It’s our first glimpse of their off-stage personality, and some idols just never, ever miss. Yes, we’re talking about the kings and queens of airport fashion! These are the idols who have us screenshotting their looks for our own wardrobe inspiration. Get ready to take notes.
Here are 10 idols who consistently slay their travel looks.
1. Jennie (BLACKPINK)
We have to start with the “Human Chanel” herself. Jennie’s style is the definition of effortless luxury. Whether she’s in a simple pair of baggy jeans and a baby tee or a chic tweed jacket, she makes every outfit look expensive and cool. Basically, she’s the queen of the model-off-duty aesthetic.
2. V (BTS)
When it comes to unique, artistic style, V is in a league of his own. He isn’t afraid to play with bold patterns, wide-leg trousers, and artistic layering. From a classic trench coat to a vibrant, cozy sweater, he treats the airport like his personal art gallery. His vibe is pure comfort and high-fashion creativity.
3. Yeonjun (TXT)
As the unofficial “4th Gen It Boy,” Yeonjun’s fashion sense is always on point. He effortlessly mixes edgy streetwear with high-fashion pieces, creating looks that are both trendy and uniquely his. He can pull off anything, from a leather jacket to a daring statement piece, always with total confidence.
4. Rosé (BLACKPINK)
If Jennie is chic luxury, Rosé is elegant cool. As a Saint Laurent ambassador, she often rocks a sleek, minimalist, and often all-black look. Think perfectly-fitted blazers, skinny jeans, and killer boots. It’s a sophisticated rocker-chic edge that is always polished and stunning.
5. Kai (EXO)
The original “Human Gucci” never fails to serve a look. Kai’s style is bold, confident, and unapologetically high-fashion. He loves a good statement piece, whether it’s a designer crop top or an iconic handbag. He carries every outfit with a powerful and relaxed energy that few can match.
6. G-Dragon (BIGBANG)
We must pay respect to the OG King. G-Dragon didn’t just follow trends; he created them. He pioneered the K-pop airport fashion scene, proving that gender knows no bounds in style. Even now, his layered, experimental, and fearless looks are the stuff of fashion legend.
7. Jessica Jung
A true first-generation fashion icon! With her own brand, Blanc & Eclare, Jessica’s style is the blueprint for timeless sophistication. She favors classic silhouettes, elegant blouses, and perfectly tailored denim. Her look is always polished, feminine, and incredibly chic. How inspiring is that?
8. Hyunjin (Stray Kids)
Hyunjin turns the airport into his personal drama set. Known for his love of long, flowing coats and an often dark, romantic aesthetic, his looks are always dramatic and eye-catching. He combines comfort with a striking silhouette that makes you feel like you’re watching a movie scene.
9. Sunmi
The solo queen Sunmi has a style that is as eclectic and fun as her music. She expertly mixes vintage finds with luxury brands, creating looks that are totally unpredictable. One day it’s a cute, quirky dress; the next, it’s a powerful and edgy ensemble. She’s a true fashion chameleon.
10. Seulgi (Red Velvet)
Seulgi is the queen of casual-cool. Her style is accessible, comfortable, yet always impeccably put-together. She rocks everything from simple cardigans and jeans to effortlessly chic androgynous looks. She’s the idol whose closet you wish you could raid for daily wear.
So who is the ultimate airport fashion icon? It’s impossible to choose just one! Each of these idols brings their own unique flavor to the airport runway, and we love them for it. Personally, my closet is crying looking at these outfits, but I’m also feeling super inspired, hahaha. No seriously, their confidence is the best accessory they wear. It reminds us that fashion is all about expressing yourself.
