The great legging debate notwithstanding, there’s no question that airport attire could benefit from an upgrade from the ground up. Terminals are filled with travelers in sneakers, so it’s a refreshing change of pace when a star steps out in a decidedly elevated alternative. Take Alicia Vikander, who yesterday arrived at Los Angeles International Airport with boyfriend Michael Fassbender on her arm and a pair of sleek white ankle boots on her feet.

The rock star-inspired style has been seen on the heels of celebrities including Kendall Jenner and Emily Ratajkowski, usually paired with a darker ensemble to accentuate the pale hue. Vikander’s version came with a slight pointed toe and sturdy block platform ideal for getting to the gate on time. The statement shoes also did wonders for her simple little black dress, which featured embroidered trim for a flirty effect. She took a classic approach to the rest of her accessories, doubling up with a ladylike Louis Vuitton bag and the brand’s iconic monogrammed duffel. Oversize sunglasses in a neutral pinkish-brown shade coordinated subtly with her luggage. A first-class finish, indeed.
