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.
