The 2026 Venice Film Festival has officially kicked off, and as always in September, Venice Marco Polo Airport is turning into a runway—with Kendall Jenner among the first to land.

Stars are flying into the Italian city of canals and culture this week, dressed to impress even before they hit the arrivals gate, ready for the waiting paparazzi. Jenner is one of those stars who nailed the chic airport look today. The model touched down in Venice wearing a polished outfit that, funnily enough, nods to her boyfriend Jacob Elordi’s signature style.

So, what did Jenner wear for her long flight to Europe? She went with a clean, all-white look: a sleeveless top, crisp tailored white pants, and ballet flats. Minimal, elegant—and very ’90s. But it’s her bag that really stands out. Jenner carried a suede Chanel weekender with leather trim—a luxe way to haul her chargers, books, and airplane pillow.

A big, bold designer bag happens to be Elordi’s go-to travel accessory too. In the past, the actor has been spotted with huge Bottega Veneta woven hobo bags, slinging them casually over his broad shoulders like they’re everyday canvas totes—not something that costs as much as a small car. (Makes sense, since he’s a brand ambassador.) He’s also paired them with classic jeans and a tee—a similar approach to Jenner’s today, letting the statement bags do the talking.

Now, we’re not saying she’s copying Elordi’s style here. Kendall Jenner has her own well-known, minimalist aesthetic, heavily influenced by The Row. But clearly, their wardrobes are starting to merge as their romance heats up. Do you think they share each other’s amazing bags? And more importantly…

Do you think they’ll walk the Venice red carpet together? Neither star has an official film at the festival, so it seems like Jenner’s visit is just for fun—and who knows, maybe Elordi will join in on the festivities too.
