Victoria Beckham has solidified her spot as fashion royalty both on and off the runway. The singer-turned-fashion designer now has another accolade to add to her extensive list: best-dressed traveler.
The brunette beauty was named the world’s best-dressed female celebrity traveler by British Airways for their Best Dressed Traveller List 2016. “Victoria Beckham always gets it right when flying and it’s so impressive,” said fashion stylist and Vanity Fair’s Contributing Editor, Elizabeth Saltzman, in a release. “Usually there is a menswear element to her travel wardrobe, it’s chic and sophisticated but still classic and comfortable.”
To make the decision, the judges looked at hundreds of images of celebrities taken at airports. Victoria beat out other fashion icons like Amal Clooney, Kendall Jenner, Angelina Jolie, and Gwen Stefani who were all in the top five. “The women on this list are all powerful examples of the modern world,” added Elizabeth, whose clients include Gwyneth Paltrow, Uma Thurman and Saoirse Ronan. “Their style is classic with a personal twist. This is about the power of women and being able to balance it all.”
This is the first award to be announced and the Best Dressed Male Traveller will be revealed in a few months. “We’ve always been associated with traveling in style,” said Abigail Comber, British Airways’ Head of Customer in a release. “We wanted to honor today’s style elite and those frequent flyers who embrace the enduring glamour and excitement of jumping on a plane.”

Suit Style
Victoria doesn't need a catwalk to show off her latest collection. The former Spice Girl opted for an airport arrival to show off her new red and white printed suit, longline jacket, and lace top for her collection.
Winter Cool
Despite the cold temperatures, the designer managed to still look chic in a burgundy knit top and leopard-print purse from her VB collection. She topped off the outfit with oversized sunglasses and cap-toe Nicholas Kirkwood pumps on her way to New York Fashion Week.
Mommy Chic
No mom jeans for this celebrity. Victoria looked runway-ready in a burgundy wrap dress and fur-trimmed coat while arriving at JFK.
Colorblocking
Victoria donned one of her famous monochrome looks in summery hues. She is wearing a Victoria Beckham coat and bag.
All Black
Victoria is a huge fan of black, so it makes sense that she donned a head-to-toe look when she flew out of LAX. She wore a black tuxedo jacket and tote from her own line and completed her ensemble with black suede ankle boots by Alaia.
Pop of Color
Posh Spice really popped as she landed at JFK in a white button-down and wide-leg orange pants under a sleek checked coat.
Sleek Sundress
The brunette beauty looked party-ready as she effortlessly glided through LAX in an asymmetrical dress from the Victoria Beckham Pre Spring/Summer 2016 Collection, which she paired with the Lanvin Tiered Cork and Leather Wedge.
Simple and Comfortable
Even Victoria has to travel comfortably, but that doesn't mean she looks any less chic. She still looked stunning in a simple all-black ensemble, complete with her signature shades.
Wednesday Adams Look
Victoria rocked a Peter Pan-collared dress on her way out of the Los Angeles International Airport.
Pretty in Pink
The designer wore a Courreges dress with pockets to catch a fight to NYC from London. She paired the look with Miu Miu shoes and sunglasses from her own collection.
Dressy Denim
A year before she launched her own fashion line, Victoria proved her fashion sense while wearing jeans, a gray blazer, a tan scarf, and a statement bag through the airport in Japan in 2007.
