Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, Anushka Sharma, Deepika Padukone and Kangana Ranaut clearly know how to choose an outfit that’s comfortable enough for a long flight but stylish enough for the paparazzi that’s frequently awaiting them at the Mumbai airport. For their Christmas and new year travels, all the leading Bollywood actors went with airport looks that didn’t involve beautiful dresses, skirts or sarees (we’re looking a you Kangana) or even jeans, for that matter. Instead, Anushka, Katrina, Deepika, Alia and Kangana, all took comfort to the extreme, in the form of cosy separates. While Deepika Padukone mastered comfortable, accessible celebrity airport style with a classic all-black look by AllSaints, as she left for a vacation with husband, actor Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt took a much-needed break after shooting several films, including filmmaker Karan Johar’s Kalank and Brahmastra, in rapid succession and was spotted leaving Mumbai airport wearing her Gucci pyjamas.

Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut too swapped her signature Hermes bags and delicate pastel sarees to wear an eccentric Gucci tracksuit to the airport, confirming that the most chic way to travel is to dress down. Unlike her many previous airport looks, Anushka Sharma’s latest airport look by Fila India, as she left for Australia to spend New Year's Eve with husband, cricketer Virat Kolhi, was all about comfort. Katrina Kaif too prioritised comfort when travelling, but without sacrificing style; Katrina knows how to pull-off loose-fitting sweatpants by Re/Done and high sneakers for the airport.
