Bella Hadid Abandons Her Rodeo Girlfriend Aesthetic for a Khaki Trench Coat and $3,550 Saint Laurent Bag

This is the least "Bella" she's ever looked.

Seasoned travelers always share the same advice: "Dress up for the airport, so you get bumped to first class." And though Bella Hadid can certainly afford to pay for business class all on her own, the supermodel's latest travel look is a lesson in this concept.

On March 22, Hadid wrapped up a trip to Venice, Italy, where she was filming scenes for Ryan Murphy's new show, The Beauty. She supplied paparazzi with one final shot before hopping on a plane back to the US and showed off a casual-cool airport look worthy of duplicating.

Everyone's favorite horse girl abandoned her trademark aesthetic in favor of several polished staples. She tapped fashion's single biggest trend of the moment, styling a khaki trench coat with a pair of black, kick-flare pants and a matching hoodie.

Hadid's minimalist outerwear was simplistic in design, but featured a few high-fashion elements that made it feel a cut above the rest. Her trench coat came in a light taupe color with subtle olive undertones—a somewhat unusual color, compared to the usual warm-toned khaki. It also featured statement shoulder pads—a design detail that's proven to make any trench coat look 10x cooler.

Posh simplicity was a theme of Hadid's airport look overall. Her boots featured a small heel and a wide, square toe (another travel tip: always wear your chunkiest shoes on the plane). Instead of a standard travel bag, meanwhile, she toted her favorite Saint Laurent bag, the croc skin Sac De Jour.

Ever the mid-2000s fan, Hadid's hairstyle was a love letter to 2009-era up-dos. She pulled back her natural waves in a Scunci-style headband and threw the rest up in a messy bun, which showed off her delicate—but sizable—hoop earrings. All she needed was a North Face jacket and a pair of knee-high Ugg boots to complete the mid-aughts look.

Let this look stand as a reminder that even the most casual outfit—sweatpants, leggings, etc.—can be dressed up with the simple addition of a well-tailored trench coat.
