Best Street Style Looks From The Muddiest Years at Glastonbury
As Glastonbury 2024 commences, L'OFFICIEL takes a look back at some of the most awe-inspiring ensembles from years past.
Glastonbury, one of the year’s most high-profile live music events, has arrived. While headliners such as Dua Lipa and SZA will undoubtedly stir up conversation and produce viral clips online, eyes and cameras will be drawn off the stage to the spectator’s outfits and the off-duty style of everyone’s favorite celebrities.
Aside from the event’s staple shoe consisting of Wellies and other rugged boots designed to be coated in muck and gravel, Glastonbury elicits a more versatile style than a festival like Coachella, which for a long time had a particular unspoken visual code of flower crowns and boho-chic skirts. While Glastonbury street style typically contains a common thread of indie sleaze, the plethora of re-wearable silhouettes betray an underlying sense of normalcy, freedom, and fun.
There are countless stylish moments from the star-studded festival grounds. From the iconic shot in 2005 of Kate Moss trudging through the mud in Wellies and micro shorts to the understated chicness of Gemma Chan’s 2023 ensemble, join L’OFFICIEL in remembering the best ways some of your favorite style savants (and general attendees) have flexed their fashion muscles at Glastonbury over the years.
Florence Welch and Daisy Lowe
The “Cosmic Love” singer and English model have each had their fair share of memorable looks at Glasto, but their outfits from one day in 2015 were especially unforgettable. Lowe’s navy blue boilersuit and lace waterproof boots possessed a slight modern tomboy varnish, while Welch’s retro shearling coat with a floral print transported you back to the 1970s.
Kate Moss
We would be remiss to exclude the 1990s supermodel’s rugged yet influential look from 2005. Moss transformed a piece of gentlemen’s work attire into the quintessential It girl day trip top and paired it with micro shorts. Her wearing of Hunter Wellies made the tall, rubber shoes a cool girl must-have and created a lasting effect on future fashion collections.
Suki and Immy Waterhouse
They are not known as one of the most stylish celebrity sister pairs for no reason. In 2019, the Waterhouse girls coordinated aesthetics, channeling a rock and roll swagger. Suki sported a leather biker jacket with silver hardware and a cheetah print collar with a matching strapless mini dress, while Immy wore a striking blood-red leather jacket with a black crop top and wide-leg stripe pants.
Poppy Delevigne
The English socialite embodied peak 2016 fashion. Her fur shearling crop leather jacket paired with a floral sketch print mini tea dress and leather lace-up ankle boots and accessorized with a navy crossbody established a sunny yet assertive femininity.
Gemma Chan
The Externals actress played it stylish but safe last year. She took a page out of the books of Glastonbury fashion icons of years past by adorning a sturdy pair of black Wellies and a waxed jacket by Barbour but elevated the look with a white denim mini shirt paired with a funky graphic tee.
