I Have No Notes—Margot Robbie Just Wore the Perfect Jeans and Shoe Pairing to the Airport
Jeans at the airport are a controversial choice, but Margot Robbie just landed on the single denim trend that will unite all sides.


Any frequent flyer will attest: when it comes to international travel, some clothing items are far better suited for the journey than others. Throw-on dresses easily outshine restrictive pencil skirts and slip-on flats are a no-brainer when compared to strappy heels. Yet, amid the usual packing wisdom, one item continues to divide opinion: jeans.
For some, jeans feel too structured and stiff for a long-haul flight. For others, it’s a comfortable staple, no less practical than their favourite loungewear, but I think I’ve just found the one denim piece that could unite both camps: drawstring jeans.
Spotted at the airport on Margot Robbie, this denim trend falls between the waist and hips—an essential detail if you plan to sit comfortably for hours—and features an adjustable drawstring waistband, allowing you to tailor the fit to your liking. Often designed with a wide-leg cut that skims, rather than clings to, the leg (just as Robbie's did) they offer the relaxed comfort of joggers with the put-together look of classic jeans.
Perfecting the art of airport style, Robbie completed her look with a striped knit, a baseball cap and a pair of flat suede mules—the soft texture of which added an elevated feel to her in-flight look.

While Robbie’s airport outfit felt perfectly tailored for travel, it also tapped into two of the season’s biggest trends. Drawstring jeans have quietly become a fashion insider favourite, popping up on the spring/summer 2025 runways at Gabriela Hearst and Rachel Comey. Meanwhile suede shoes—whether in the form of sandals, trainers or loafers—have surged in popularity, offering a polished yet relaxed alternative to high-shine leather pairs.
