Only a Celebrity Would Wear This Controversial Skirt Trend to the Airport
Spotted at JFK.

I think we can all agree that Anya Taylor-Joy looks cool and chic no matter where she goes and what she's doing. That includes when she's catching a flight. Recently, Taylor-Joy was spotted at JFK wearing a characteristicly chic outfit, including a skirt that only a celebrity would wear to the airport.
Celebrities are notorious for wearing impractical things to the airport (especially when the paparazzi are swarming), and I can't say that I blame them. Though most travelers opt for comfort and function over fashion, I actually would wear the skirt trend Taylor-Joy chose. The trend is a maxi pencil skirt, which doesn't even appear to have a slit (which would make walking considerably easier). That said, she did pair the controversial skirt trend with more JFK-friendly items, including a long-sleeve tee and loafer mules.
Keep scrolling to form your own opinion about whether or not you'd wear a maxi pencil skirt to the airport, and then shop skirts that are undoubtedly more comfortable and easier to walk the terminals in.
