Victoria Beckham, the British fashion designer, even keeps it stylish when traveling. She was just named the world’s best dressed female celebrity traveller in British Airways’ Best Dressed Traveller List 2016.

The British airline chose the ten best-dressed female celebrity travellers, with Amal Clooney coming in second place and Kendall Jenner in third. The list was compiled together with Hollywood fashion stylist and Vanity Fair Contributing Editor Elizabeth Saltzman.

Saltzman said: “Victoria Beckham always gets it right when flying and it’s so impressive. Usually there is a menswear element to her travel wardrobe, it’s chic and sophisticated but still classic and comfortable. The women on this list are all powerful examples of the modern world. Their style is classic with a personal twist. This is about the power of women and being able to balance it all.”

Of Clooney, she said: “Amal Clooney has brains, beauty and style. Amal got thrown under the style microscope when her relationship with Mr Clooney started. She wears clothes beautifully. Amal looks like she can go from the aeroplane to a meeting or into a page of Vogue and not look out of place. She is all business.”

Kendall Jenner took the third place, as she "embodies today’s youth. As a quintessential ‘It Girl’ and major model she is representing our fashion world beautifully," Saltzman said.

The remainder of the list sees Angelina Jolie in fourth place, followed by Gwen Stefani, Charlize Theron, Taylor Swift, Marion Cotillard, Lupita Nyong'O and, in tenth place, Heidi Klum.

Abigail Comber, British Airways’ Head of Customer, said: “We’ve always been associated with travelling in style – most recently with our elegant, new short-haul cabins and our new-look First cabin, created especially for the 787-9 aircraft. We wanted to honour today’s style elite and those frequent flyers who embrace the enduring glamour and excitement of jumping on a plane.”

The Best Dressed Male Traveller will be revealed in the coming months.
