7 Legendary Glastonbury Outfits You Can Copy Right Now
From the muddy fields to the main stage, Glastonbury isn't just a music festival, it's a fashion moment.
Year after year, be it from A-list celebs to regular festival goers, the festival delivers a parade of iconic looks that blend utility with style. And whether you're dancing through downpours or soaking up sun at the stone circle, your outfit should be as memorable as the line-up. From Kate Moss' era-defining mini dress and Hunter boots to Alexa Chung's flawless mix of layering and high-low styling, Glasto has long been the ultimate runway for festival fashion.
To help you pack for this festival (and beyond), we're breaking down some of the most legendary looks spotted backstage over the years and showing you exactly how to copy them. Whether you're channeling rock and roll glamour, off-duty model cool, or playful Britpop vibes, there's something here for everyone.
Arguably the most iconic Glastonbury look of all time, Kate Moss' 2005 look is and was the epitome of rock and roll festival style.
In the 20 years since Moss stepped out in a shimmering mini dress to Glasto, both Dua Lipa and Alexa Chung have dutifully followed suit. And for good reason: a shimmery mini dress brings effortless glam to even the most sodden of campsites, while the oversized belt adds definition and a tough-girl edge. Layered with a cropped leather jacket and mud-splattered Hunter wellies and be the coolest girl on the field.
For a cool yet practical Glastonbury outfit, channel Sienna Miller's 2024 look. Featuring a checked, zip-up shell jacket and drawstring white utility trousers this ensemble is totally festival-functional.
The oversized silhouette offers comfort and airflow, perfect for all-day wear, all while delivering a 1990s Britpop vibe. Welly boots are a must for muddy fields - consider a Chelsea boot style to go with trousers.
Alexa Chung's 2024 Glastonbury look combines romanticism and vintage vibes with edge. A flowing, pastel yellow slip dress trimmed with lace is both dreamy and daring, particularly when paired with an oversized parka coat. Tough black boots ground the look and add festival practicality for stomping through fields.
This outfit proves that mixing soft femininity with rugged outerwear creates a standout look you can recreate with secondhand finds and statement layering.
For a playful and practical Glastonbury vibe, Margot Robbie's look is a festival win. An oversized, nostalgic sweatshirt adds a fun twist to even the most practical of outfits (Chloë Sevigny is a big fan of Mickey Mouse tees) and some Fear And Loathing-style sunglasses give you full license to quote Thompson all festival weekend long.
While Margot can get away with full length leggings, we'd swap these out for capris or denim, but we're all in on the Hunter wellies and colourful backpack.
This ensemble proves you can stay comfy, cute, and mud-proof all at once - ideal for the laid-back festival-goer.
Stay incognito, like Adwoa Aboah, in hard-wearing but still cool camouflage. Pick up your camo pieces at army surplus stores at a steal, while ensuring you're wearing premium grade stuff. Jazz up your look with a 'personality hat' - we love Emma Brewin's furry bucket hats, but head scarves and fisherman hats would also do the trick.
Embrace your inner eccentric, clash prints with purpose, and make your outfit as unforgettable as the music lineup itself.
If you want to give it girl energy at Glastonbury, take notes from this iconic look.
A tailored waistcoat worn as a top reads androgynous, while micro shorts and a studded belt keep the silhouette fearless. Pair, as ever, with black Hunter wellies and a simple crossbody bag keeps essentials handy without ruining the vibe. To recreate this effortlessly cool energy, layer some minimalist jewellery, and let your confidence do the talking. This is festival fashion stripped back and turned up.
Alexa Chung's Glastonbury look is a masterclass in festival layering. To recreate it, start with high-waisted denim shorts over opaque black tights (for warmth). Add a fitted denim jacket for double denim done right, then top it with a waxed Barbour coat to stay practical and timeless. The key accessory? A printed neck scarf that adds a pop of personality. And of course, finish with essential muddy wellies. This outfit blends British heritage with cool-girl charm.

A clash of English and Brazilian teams in Philadelphia shows off exactly what FIFA wants from the Club World Cup
The scenes in Philadelphia on Friday were exactly what FIFA wanted when they came up with this super-sized version of the Club World Cup. A clash of soccer cultures was on full display as Brazilian club CR Flamengo took on English giants Chelsea at Lincoln Financial Field. Under a beautiful early summer afternoon sun, the Linc – a venue no stranger to noise as the home of the Philadelphia Eagles – was positively bouncing as 54,000 fans screamed their lungs out. The Flamengo fans, fresh off one of their club's best seasons in recent memory, having captured the Brazilian Supercopa and the Campeonato Carioca, were making unbelievable noise from the moment they filled in the stadium's northern end. The few fans in Chelsea blue who purchased tickets among them must have realized fairly quickly they were in for a long day. The bizarre mix of world football and American football was once again clashing early in the game. FIFA President Gianni Infantino has likened this tournament and next year's World Cup as the equivalent of three or four Super Bowls every day for a month, and his organization has undoubtedly tried to bring a little of that American flair to the world's game. The starting lineups for each team were introduced individually to pounding music – a far cry from the understated team walkouts that generally mark the start of soccer matches around the world. When music shook the concrete of the stands, it seemed like most of the fans – both those in black and red and blue and white – were simply waiting for things to quiet down so they could start singing once again. And sing they did – particularly the Flamengo fans, who seemed to hardly take a breath. Each forward attack was met by screams, urging their players. Whistles and boos met Chelsea possessions and when Pedro Neto scored the opening goal for the Blues in the 13th minute, the cheers from the blue end of the field were overtaken by the screams of rebuttal from the Flamengo fans scattered around this massive stadium. Neto's goal was also followed by an ear-splitting playing of Blur's 'Song 2.' The soccer purists in the London club's end were surely aghast at the playing of music to celebrate a goal – another very American trend that has increasingly been used by clubs around the world, much to the chagrin of hardcore supporters. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said the atmosphere at the team's first match in Atlanta on Monday was 'a bit strange' as they played in front of a mostly empty Mercedes-Benz Stadium. While this tournament, as the Confederations Cup once did in a previous era, serves as a chance for the World Cup host nation to iron out the details before the world arrives for the quadrennial tournament, the match was seen as a possible sign that FIFA's new competition was falling flat in the USA. The crowd in Philly will have eased those fears. Despite being a 3 p.m. ET start on a work day, much of the stadium was filled – though large portions of the eastern stands, fully in the sun on this warm June day, were empty – and the noise was something to behold. For a tournament that critics have said means nothing, the Flamengo fans at times sounded like a hair dryer directly into the ears. Their players played with the same effort and fire that their supporters were showing in the seats. And for a team that just endured a long Premier League season in which they fought for qualification to the UEFA Champions League, Chelsea didn't exactly seem to be treating this as a stateside summer vacation. Neto celebrated his goal by pointing to the name on the back of his shirt in front of the Flamengo fans and the referee's denial of a penalty after Enzo Fernandez was knocked over in the box brought impassioned complaints to the referee. Any other thoughts about whether this competition mattered to the players on the field vanished in the 54th minute when Flamengo's Gerson shot from the left side of the box. The attempt took a deflection and trickled toward goal. Chelsea keeper Robert Sanchez threw himself at the ball, colliding with the goal post as Gonzalo Plata tried to tap in Flamengo's first goal. The shot went wide and Sanchez and Plata both ended up lying in pain on the turf. It was full-commitment – the kind of stuff one expects to see next year when this stadium hosts five World Cup group games and a Round of 16 knockout match. A massive save from Sanchez in the 61st minute sent supporters from both teams upward from their seats as the Flamengo supporters sensed a goal was coming. And it was Bruno Henrique, who had entered the game only minutes earlier as a second-half substitute, who showed a true goal poacher's instincts by tapping in Plata's header to send the black-and-red kitted fans into hysterics in the 62nd minute. The stadium shook with their jumping and black and red smoke soon filled the air above the northern end of Lincoln Financial Field as the noise went to 11. A second goal just minutes later – another close-range goal from Danilo off a headed flick from Henrique – resulted in shirts being ripped off and waved in the air as the Flamengo support ascended into something akin to soccer heaven. The atmosphere seemed to be getting deep inside Chelsea's psyche. A rash 68th-minute tackle by Nicholas Jackson, who just entered the game four minutes earlier, on Ayrton Lucas resulted in a straight red card. Chelsea was forced to play the final 22 minutes with 10 men, much to the delight of the bouncing Flamengo fans. A third goal in the 83rd minute iced the game for Flamengo and turned the Linc into Carnival. The strike, powered past Sanchez by Wallace Yan, was the result of the kind of shambolic defending that has plagued Chelsea since its golden generation of players left the squad. The forward took advantage of the Blues' sloppy attempt to clear the ball to bury his shot, setting off a 3-1 victory party in the sunshine that any Brazilian would be proud to attend. It was a sumptuous preview of what this stadium will look – and feel – like next year when 48 countries send their national teams to the US, Mexico, and Canada for the World Cup. The US is not nearly the soccer-crazed nation that Brazil or England are, but Friday's scenes in Philadelphia showed the kind of festival of football heading for North America in a year's time.

Top contenders to watch in the $1M Fanatics Games
Fanatics is hosting its first-ever Fanatics Games at the 2025 Fanatics Fest, and the odds aren't exactly in favor of the collectors. While it would be a storybook moment to see a fan take down some of the greatest athletes of all time, collecting cardboard takes a very different mental and physical toll than playing professional sports — not to mention a different diet. The top prize is a staggering $1 million, with second place receiving a 2025 Ferrari 296 GTB, and third place walking away with a LeBron James rookie gold refractor card valued at approximately $250,000. Before we get into who might win this thing, let's talk about who has absolutely no shot. This isn't a knock on the fans and collectors competing — it's a nod to the level of greatness involved in the event. There is a zero percent chance a collector or fan finishes anywhere near the podium. Call it a bold take if you want, but when the competitions include a three-point contest, QB accuracy challenge, and even a WWE-style entrance — and you're going up against the GOATs of their respective sports — the average Joe doesn't stand a chance. Advertisement As for the celebrity pool? Let's be real — Druski, Kai Cenat, Gillie, Kevin Costner (legend, but he's 70), Sketch, and DJ Khaled aren't sniffing the top three either. Now let's get to the sleepers — the under-the-radar names who could actually take this thing home. Yes, beat some of the greatest athletes of all time. First up: IShowSpeed Laugh all you want, but the kid is pure chaos in the best way. He's got the energy, the athleticism, and the unpredictability to shock the field. My top categories for him? Soccer and WWE entrance — he's built for spectacle, and this stage might be where he explodes. Advertisement Second: Julian Edelman He's not the biggest name in the lineup, but he might be the grittiest. A multi-sport athlete who thrives on pressure and wins off straight hustle. Don't let the retired dad look fool you — the man has rings for a reason. Never underestimate the heart of a champion. And third: CJ Stroud Now, some would argue he shouldn't even be on a sleeper list — he could flat-out win this thing. He's dangerous in anything involving a ball. But while his football and basketball skills are top-tier, I worry about how he'll stack up in the more offbeat events. Still, CJ is a competitor through and through. He won't go down easy. Advertisement Now, here are the top five — based on purely theoretical odds. No sportsbooks, no analytics, just vibes, gut instinct, and a lot of common sense. At -20,000: LeBron James. The only thing stopping LeBron from winning this is if he decides not to try. Yes, he's 40 now — but he's still the greatest athlete of all time. The real question isn't if he'll win, it's how the Fanatics Games will impact his legacy. Some are already saying a win here gives him an edge over Jordan. If he pulls this off, it's another accolade to add to the GOAT debate — and one MJ will never have. At -15,000: Tom Brady Some might say these odds are too generous. Brady's a multi-sport monster — football, basketball, golf, even baseball — and he might just be the most competitive person in the entire event. And that's saying something. The man doesn't show up to participate, he shows up to win. It wouldn't shock me one bit if he walks away from this with $1 million and yet another trophy to stuff in that already overcrowded case. Advertisement At -100: Travis Hunter A steep drop from the top two, but make no mistake — Travis Hunter is built for this. Arguably the most athletic person in the entire competition, he already dominates on both sides of the football field. If there's any event that requires raw explosiveness or versatility, he's a serious threat. Honestly, if the Fanatics Games included bass fishing, his odds might be even better. Sleeper pick? Maybe. But don't be shocked if he finishes on top. At +250: Peyton Manning This one might raise some eyebrows — but don't sleep on the Sheriff. The Manning family tree is loaded with athleticism, and Peyton's skills go well beyond the gridiron. If he locks in on golf and football — which he absolutely should — he could be the surprise of the tournament. He may not be the youngest in the field, but don't be shocked if he schools the competition and leaves with more than just laughs. We might just witness an old man's masterclass. At +300: Joe Burrow Joey B might just be the best value pick in this entire theoretical odds game. Cool, calm, and unbothered by pressure — the man does everything with a quiet confidence and a little extra swagger. Don't be surprised if he casually drops top scores while looking like he barely broke a sweat. He's got the skills, the poise, and most importantly, the people behind him. The crowd will certainly be rooting for Joey Brrr. Your collection deserves a community. Download Mantel today.

Review: Bri Sudia shines in ‘Always… Patsy Cline' at Drury Lane Theatre
Cowboy hats and Nashville-style dresses proliferated Thursday night in Oakbrook Terrace. Not the first time I've noticed that fans of country music are more common in Chicago's western suburbs than many people think. All had assembled at the Drury Lane Theatre for 'Always … Patsy Cline,' a remarkably resilient revue by Ted Swindley that now has enjoyed a longer life than did the actual Patsy Cline herself. (Cline died in a Tennessee plane crash in 1963 when she was just 30 years old.) Based on the real-life friendship between Cline and one of her fans, Louise Seger, the revue has a long and auspicious history in Chicago. It was a massive, late-1990s hit for Northlight Theatre with folk singer Megon McDonough appearing in the title role, before the late Hollis Resnik took over when the show moved into a commercial run at the Apollo Theatre. I've reviewed this two-person (plus live band) show several other times, too, most recently about five years ago when it was staged in an intimate setting by Firebrand Theatre. Over the years, I've found that its simplicity is its biggest asset. 'Always… Patsy Cline' avoids the usual jukebox tropes of record label suits and managers who don't understand and focuses instead on delivering Cline's greatest hits within the context of a simple female friendship. Louise tells the singer's story from a fan's perspective and Patsy delivers 27(!) of the hits, mostly in honkytonk-style settings. And at less than two hours with an intermission, the show doesn't outstay its welcome. All that said, and despite my familiarity with this material, I really had an uncommonly great time on Thursday night, mostly because of the presence of Bri Sudia in the role of Louise. Sudia, recently back from appearing on Broadway for a year in the Neil Diamond musical 'A Beautiful Noise,' is far and away the best Louise I've seen. She's funny, empathetic and just so very warm; it's easy to condescend to Louise, as to all superfans, but Sudia simply refuses to do anything like that. She honors her character's obsession — at one point, she leans so far and lovingly toward Aja Alcazar's Patsy that Sudia's body occupies a diagonal plane — but also never takes her character too seriously. As a result, she feels both like Cline's great protector and also one of us. I don't exaggerate when I say this is a truly fabulous performance, a piece of acting that wrestles with this little show and makes it seem so much more than it has felt in the past. Clearly, Sudia has learned that even jukebox revues need to have stakes and they have to be able to drive the action forward, too. On the night I was there, the audience simply adored her goofiness. Alcazar is the ideal foil for that: elegant, honest, and rich of voice but also self-protected and slightly unknowable, as is the case with all stars. I suspect the skilled director, Scott Weinstein, had a lot to do with that. He knew who the real star of the piece was, even though her partner is essential to the enterprise. Colette Pollard's set is like an A-frame, a lovely evocation of small-town Tennessee, even if the band (under the lively direction of Ellie Kahn) looks a bit scrunched. And Lee Fiskness knows where to shine the kinds of lights Cline never knew. I suspect lots of my readers already know and have seen this show and, if choosing whether or not to lay down the credit card and go and bathe once again in the pleasures of 'True Love,' 'Crazy' and 'Walkin' After Midnight,' perhaps with a sweetie on hand, will merely want to know that their affection for the piece will be protected (guaranteed) and that they'll have some fresh fun (yup). Aside from admiring the straightforward artistry here and enjoying the pleasure of others, I kept thinking about Taylor Swift's famously close relationships with her fans, turning up at their bridal showers and whatnot; maybe Patsy and Louise were far ahead of their time. Review: 'Always Patsy Cline' (3.5 stars) When: Through Aug. 3 Where: 100 Drury Lane, Oakbrook Terrace Running time: 1 hour, 50 minutes Tickets: $75-$150 at 630-530-0111 and
