===Uniform and grooming===

Paris-based Australian designer {{ill|Martin Grant|fr}} is responsible for the current Qantas uniforms that were unveiled on 16 April 2013. These were to replace the previous uniforms, dubbed colloquially as "Morrissey" by staff after the designer, [[Peter Morrissey]]. The new outfits feature a colour palette of black, red and fuchsia pink. Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce stated that the new design "speaks of Australian style on the global stage" at the launch event that involved employees modelling the uniforms. Grant consulted with Qantas staff members over the course of one year to finalise the 35 styles that were eventually created.<ref>{{cite news|author=Glynnis Traill-Nash|date=17 April 2013|title=It's hats off to new-age Qantas uniform|url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/life/fashion/its-hats-off-to-new-age-qantas-uniform/story-e6frg8k6-1226622017102|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130418222117/http://www.theaustralian.com.au/life/fashion/its-hats-off-to-new-age-qantas-uniform/story-e6frg8k6-1226622017102|archive-date=18 April 2013|access-date=18 April 2013|newspaper=The Australian}}</ref> Not all employees were happy with the new uniform, however, with one flight attendant saying "The uniforms are really tight and they are simply not practical for the very physical job we have to do." In 2020 Grant also designed a Qantas branded athleisure-wear collection.<ref>{{cite news|title=Qantas new uniform too sexy say staff|url=http://www.hrgrapevine.com/markets/hr/article/2013-12-11-qantas-new-uniform-too-sexy-say-staff|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141028155717/http://www.hrgrapevine.com/markets/hr/article/2013-12-11-qantas-new-uniform-too-sexy-say-staff|archive-date=28 October 2014|access-date=28 October 2014|publisher=HR Grapevine}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=17 October 2020|title=The Flygge Series: Qantas launches retro leisure clothing range by Martin Grant|url=https://thedesignair.net/2020/10/17/the-flygge-series-qantas-launches-retro-leisure-clothing-range-by-martin-grant/|access-date=15 November 2022|website=TheDesignAir|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Qantas unveils leisure clothing line by Martin Grant|url=https://www.businesstraveller.com/business-travel/2020/10/14/qantas-unveils-leisure-clothing-line-by-martin-grant/|access-date=15 November 2022|website=Business Traveller|language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Nurick|first=Jen|date=23 October 2020|title=Martin Grant's leisurewear collection for Qantas is a cosy celebration of comfort and travel|url=https://www.vogue.com.au/fashion/news/martin-grants-leisurewear-collection-for-qantas-is-a-cosy-celebration-of-comfort-and-travel/news-story/9b9162606c5adc68105de70bfc581bf7|access-date=17 July 2024|website=Vogue magazine}}</ref>

Qantas declared in 2023 that it had ended uniform rules based on gender. Female flight attendants are no longer required to wear high heels, male flight attendants can wear makeup, and flight attendants of any gender can wear the same type of jewelry and have long hair in a ponytail or bun.<ref>{{Cite web|date=9 June 2023|title=Qantas allowing male cabin crew members to wear makeup and women to scrap high-heels - CBS News|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/qantas-male-cabin-crew-members-makeup-women-high-heels/|website=www.cbsnews.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|agency=Australian Associated Press|date=9 June 2023|title=Qantas to allow flat shoes, makeup and long hair for cabin crew of any gender|url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jun/09/qantas-allows-cabin-crew-of-any-gender-to-wear-flat-shoes-make-up-and-have-long-hair|via=The Guardian}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Singer|first=Melissa|date=28 February 2024|title=Star power: The airline uniform fit for the Australian runway|url=https://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/fashion/star-power-the-airline-uniform-fit-for-the-australian-runway-20240228-p5f8f8.html|access-date=17 July 2024|website=The Sydney Morning Herald|language=en}}</ref> At the end of January 2025, Qantas announced plans to refresh the uniforms for its onboard crews. The airline says that they will now engage with several Australian designers to review the requirements and undertake a selection process for what will become the eleventh uniform in its history. The next uniform designer will be announced in the coming months with Qantas planning to debut the new design in 2027 alongside with Qantas’ huge fleet renewal program. Additionally, Qantas will start surveying its uniformed workforce to assist in developing the new outfits.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Qantas to replace Miranda Kerr-fronted uniform |url=https://australianaviation.com.au/2025/01/qantas-to-replace-miranda-kerr-fronted-uniform/ |access-date=2025-02-04 |website=Australian Aviation |language=en-AU}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Hughes |first=David |date=2025-01-30 |title=Qantas Unveils New Uniform for Over 17,500 Employees |url=https://aviationa2z.com/index.php/2025/01/30/qantas-unviels-new-uniform/ |access-date=2025-02-04 |website=Aviation A2Z |language=en-US}}</ref>
