Bonjour, friends! This edition of the A-List Edit is reaching you from my spring break in Paris. You can trust that I’m spending the week scouting styling intel and It items for an upcoming dispatch in between all the croissants. (Back at the Marie Claire office in NYC, our podcast “Nice Talk” was just nominated for a Webby—vote here!)
Before I took off, I assembled my packing list using a few VIPs and their favorite travel shoes as my guide. Celebrity airport outfits are a tricky genre: Sometimes, stars are really just like us in a matching sweatsuit, sneakers, and a big ’ol underseat tote bag. Other times, they make choices that feel…interesting for, say, standing in the security line. I got dressed for my 7-hour flight—plus the sightseeing that would immediately follow—compelled to defend the honor of a travel shoe that usually falls in the second group: the mesh flat.
