Glastonbury has long been the epitome of festival fashion and setting summer trends for decades. From Kate Moss's iconic slip dresses to Sienna Miller's boho chic of the 2000s to Alexa Chung's beloved Barbour jackets, it's a cornerstone of British style.
This year was no different. Sienna Miller traded her usual boho staples for a striking plaid jacket paired with airy white trousers and casual Barbour 'Wilton' Wellingtons. Meanwhile, Alexa Chung debuted a lemon yellow DOEN dress and a piece from her eagerly awaited Barbour collection.
In contrast, Stormzy and Maya Jama opted for coordinated designer outfits from Valentino and Christian Dior. Actor Florence Pugh embraced a nostalgic 2014 Tumblr aesthetic with a flower crown, black slip dress, and Doc Martens boots, while Janelle Monae shared her wavelength and took the stage in a full floral ensemble reminiscent of Florence's look.
Cara Delevigne and Anya Taylor-Joy rocked coordinated Mui Mui and Rabanne looks with matching Sorel walking shoes, while Bel Powey kept it down-to-earth in a khaki Nobody’s Child cargo set.
While these off-duty celebrity looks were impressive, the on-stage outfits stole the show. Dua Lipa wowed with multiple custom Versace and Chrome Hearts ensembles during her headline performance, and Lil Simz turned heads in a y2k-inspired custom Ed Hardy jacket emblazoned with 'Lil Simz' and paired with a kilt. Charli XCX channelled her viral BRAT summer vibe in Diesel set for her rave-ready PARTYGIRL DJ Set.
Among festival-goers, there was a noticeable trend inspired by Charli XCX, featuring vintage running glasses, white ruffle skirts, and knee-high boots. Large fluffy hats reminiscent of Jamiroquai’s lead singer Jason Cheetham were also popular, alongside gorp-core looks ranging from Arcteryx waterproofs to Salomon XT6 sneakers, favoured by the under-30s.
Another standout trend was 'eurocore,' influenced by Euro 2024, featuring football shirts and Adidas Sambas worn by everyone from band members to young festival attendees.
Amidst the anticipation for Shania Twain's headline set, cowboy hats and boots made a notable appearance, giving Glastonbury a western edge.
Glastonbury's beauty lies in its blend of diverse styles and age groups, uniting everyone in celebration of the world's greatest festival. Whether you're a festival-goer or a celebrity, Glastonbury fashion is a spectacle to behold and celebrate.
