It's rare to see Kate Winslet outside of red carpet events, the film star managing to stay very much out of the spotlight in her private life. But on the occasions she's been seen out and about, she always has enviable style.

In a photo taken back in 2022, Kate showed us all how to combine style and comfort white travelling – something we're always grateful for inspiration for. Pictured arriving at the 75th annual Cannes Film Festival, Kate opted for a loose-fitting black shirt, jersey style cuffed trousers, a smart striped jacket, black Superga trainers, black bag and designer sunglasses.

A super chic outfit, Kate's striped blazer adds sophistication and a pop of colour to her otherwise signature all-black outfit. The layering is perfect for any kind of weather - the shirt and cuffed trousers helping to keep her cool on her journey. With the new season approaching, these are all really versatile items, which would make great additions to any autumn capsule wardrobe.

These cuffed trousers from M&S are an absolute steal at just £25. Perfect for every day, these smart but comfortable trousers are tapered, with cuffed ankles for a super flattering fit. The waist has a drawstring, which can be adjusted for optimum comfort.

KAFFE Emine Blouse

When it comes to comfort and style, this emine shirt from KAFFE is hard to beat. Easy to style, this beautiful top has a regular fit with spread collar and button fastening. The sleeves are 3/4 length, which are gathered in wide smock cuffs, elevating the overall look. Super versatile, this top is the perfect for travelling in style.

This beautiful classic pinstripe blazer from Phase Eight is currently on sale, and it's not hard to see why it's selling fast. The relaxed fit tailored piece features a double breasted black button detailing and flap pockets – it's the perfect piece to elevate any outfit.

Radley Dorset Street Leather Shoulder Bag

When it comes to quality bags, Radley is up there with the best of them. And this gorgeous tote design is strikingly similar to Kate's designer version, but no doubt a fraction of the price.

Autumn may well be fast approaching, but we're still very much in holiday season, so if you're looking for an airport outfit that will serve you while you're away too, Kate is a great source of inspiration.
