What to wear to Glastonbury: 8 best celebrity outfits ever to help you pack the ultimate festival wardrobe
Glastonbury Festival. Aka the holy grail of fashion and music. A place where, according to Glasto style icon Alexa Chung, no matter how "terrible" your outfit choice is, "it still looks great." And so, for the lucky ones who managed to bag a ticket to the UK's grittier version of Coachella, you're likely now in full wardrobe planning mode. With many, perhaps looking back to previous Glastonburys for some inspiration, especially from your favourite celebs. Whether you're throwing it right back to 2007 Kate Moss, or looks from recent years are more your vibe (Maya Jama's 2024 Dior 'Plan de Paris' outfit was a standout), behold some of the best celebrity fits alongside their highstreet alternatives. How can we not start with Alexa? She's a festival fashion veteran, after all. In terms of this dress, it ticks all the boxes: stylish, comfortable, and goes with everything. At Glasto, you want something you can just throw on but still look like you've made an effort. Basically, you can never go wrong with a slip dress, rain or shine. Remember, you're going to be walking for miles, so you need something that blends comfort and fashion. This year, it looks like it's going to be good weather, so you may not need those Hunter wellies. (Pack them just in case, obvs.) Instead, opt for a pair of statement black boots like Dua Lipa. They're so versatile because they look great with different styles: from cute white lace prairie mini-dresses to frayed denim shorts. We *love* a two-piece. They're also really handy for festivals, as you don't have to think about how you'll make the rest of the outfit pop. The co-ord does all the talking! Be sure to pair the skirt/skort/shorts with a plain top underneath, like Maya did last year. This way, you've still got a fire outfit if you remove the jacket. Getting the right bag for Glasto can be tricky. It can't be too big, but it can't be too small. It also needs to match most of your outfits. If you're going for 2005 Kate Moss vibes, a black faux leather satchel that can hang over your body is a perfect shout. It's understated but cool, and can fit the festival essentials in like lipgloss, face powder, and your purse. Let's face it, even though the sun might be shining, there's always going to be a chance of rain at Glastonbury. It's the UK, after all. But just because you have to prepare for bad weather, doesn't mean that you can't make it fashion. Opt for a bright pop of colour when picking your raincoat, like Annie Mac did last year. If you're into the maximalist look, she also styled it with a lime green mini satchel and leopard print trousers, which is a whole festival inspo fit in itself. That dry shampoo not doing it for you anymore? As you near the end of Glastonbury (and not to sound minging), there's only so much a baby wipe wash can do. The solution? A good old hat. While Saffron Hocking understood the method dressing assignment, going for farm chic, there are so many headwear variations you can go for. For example, last year, it was all about the furry bucket hat. Or, keep it more casual with a baseball cap, loved by celebs from Dua Lipa to Cara Delevingne. Glastonbury style is way more cool and casual than Coachella, meaning an assortment of shorts in your case is a non-negotiable. You don't just have to go for the classic frayed denim look if that's not your style. Scalloped white shorts also give off that classic Glasto boho vibe, and look both effortless and timeless. It's the last day, and while you still want to look good, it's more about achieving the perfect balance of casual and comfy. With that, it's all about baggy combats and oversized shirts and jackets. If you can bag an artist tee, even better. Sophie Williams is a Freelance Journalist and Copywriter, covering everything from Fashion to Entertainment to music, Lifestyle and Features.

Why Beyoncé and BET Keep Calling Jesse Collins
There's a memorable scene in Beyoncé's 'Homecoming' documentary about her headlining performance at Coachella in 2018, when she asks a production crew member for a 30-foot-wide camera track. He tells her it doesn't exist. She then proves him wrong. The Emmy-winning television producer Jesse Collins remembers that moment well, so when the pop superstar called on him to produce her Christmas Day N.F.L. halftime extravaganza 'Beyoncé Bowl' for Netflix, he was ready to meet her demands. 'Hell no, I will never tell her something doesn't exist unless it really doesn't exist,' he said recently with a laugh, 'because she'll Google it and she keeps up with technology. If it can't happen, I am 1,000 percent certain it can't happen.' Collins, 54, has worked closely with Beyoncé on awards show performances, including her raucous rendition of 'Freedom' at the 2016 BET Awards, when she danced and kicked in a shallow pool of water. 'The water was one of the most complicated things that I've ever done on any award show,' Collins recalled in a video interview from his office in Burbank, Calif., in a comfy black hoodie as the sun beamed behind him. 'Most people try to get away from water,' he said, but an executive had promised it. 'When you start the conversation with, 'This was promised to Beyoncé,' everybody's like, 'We're going to make this happen.'' Making things happen is Collins's specialty, and it's why heavyweights like Oprah Winfrey and Jay-Z have recruited him for their projects. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
