It's that time again – the biennial music extravaganza that is Glastonbury Festival. The OG music festival for celebrity spotting, and cult-like recreation of fashions on the field, Glasto has a special place in the hearts and wardrobes of anyone old enough to remember its fashionable patron saints: the inimitable Kate Moss (although we all tried), the rockstar girlfriend Alexa Chung, music movers and shakers like Lily Allen and Florence Welch, and of course who could forget the British IT girls Sienna Miller and Cara Delevingne?
And dare we add to that list of Glasto legacies with the latest British emblems of pop princess Olivia Dean and Daisy Edgar-Jones- who too agrees the formidable Hunter wellies are a must for the soggy festival. Where Paul Mescal seems to be levelling the bar for men, reigning as the shorts king it felt fitting he brought them to the festival, to only match it with a cropped t-shirt.
Here we round up some of our favourite Glastonbury style moments from the people who made festival fashion what it is today, paving the way for the flower crowns and bejewelled faces of Coachella, showing us how to put together an effortlessly chic look while streaked in mud.
Kate Moss

When you think of Glastonbury fashion, there's no argument to be had over who is the first to come to mind. British supermodel Kate Moss had us all in a grip-hold with her early-2000s looks, and racing to our nearest camp gear store to fight over a pair of oversized Wellington boots to pair with our micro-mini denim and low-slung belts.
Lila Moss

Following in her mother's footsteps, Lila comes to the festival prepared and in style. Of course, wellie boots and a flowing mini dress is the adequate dress code. Where she can even be seen wearing some of Kate Moss's hand-downs, such as her iconic leather satchel bag from her early days at the festival.
Olivia Dean

The neo-soul pop princess hit the pyramid stage this year at Glastonbury with a bedazzled top that had her grandmothers face on it, while rocking a tartan bubble skirt, and black sunglasses of course. Her debut playing at the festival, Olive Dean is the cool girl where her on stage and offstage style are pretty much the same. A tank, bubble skirt, trousers with multi-coloured jewellery pieces to adorn her punk- cool attire.
Dua Lipa

It's no secret the festival is a bucket list gig for Dua Lipa to play at, that when she was to headline it, you know she would pull out her best looks yet. And that she did. Her on stage look remains as grunge-chic, where she was adorned in a custom black leather Loewe one piece , where her other looks on set followed in the same rhythm of black leather. Off stage, her style doesn't quite rub off, but rather becomes more casual and ready for the mosh pits as she wears a white Coperni tank top and Ann Demeulemeester leather cargo skirt.
Daisy Edgar-Jones

A Gucci girl, her Gucci handbag is all she needed to fit everything in for the weekend. Paired with some Hunter wellies and all sorts of oversized jackets. Daisy Edgar-Jones and her pal Paul Mescal have become quite the regulars at the festival, also known for dancing up a storm in the mosh pits.
Florence Pugh

The midsommer queen? Pugh seems to be inhabiting one of her past characters for this years Glastonbury style, rocking the flower crown at with her bleached blonde hair, keeping the rest of her fit light and fresh with a black halter neck dress.
Paul Mescal

Ray-ban sunglasses, backwards cap, wearing a crop top all to top it off with his signature rugby shorts. Paul Mescal knows how to dress, but he knows how to conjure an even better group to accompany him. Circulating around him at this year's Glastonbury festival was Saoirse Ronan, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Andrew Scott and his siblings Nell and Donnacha.
Sienna Miller

Sienna Miller was ahead of her time, an IT-girl whose fashion choices would look just as contemporary at Glastonbury 2o24 as they did in the early oughts. The British-American actress and model had an affinity for floaty dresses and crochet, paired of course with the time's oversized sunnies.
Alexa Chung

If Kate Moss is our Glastonbury queen, then Alexa Chung is her next-in-line. Taking Moss's indie sleaze and turning it twee, she donned the micro-minis and gum boots, but paired them mostly with knee socks, stockings, flannels and mock necks.
Lily Allen
Our under-the-radar Glastonbury icon goes by the name of Lily Allen – from her iconic purple hair and jumpsuit on stage in 2009, she's continued to lean into bold colours over the years (whether in her choice of garment or hair dye).
Florence Welch

Bohemian muse Florence Welch is a 70s girl at heart, donning embroidered vests, tunic dresses and Penny Lane-esque coats to create looks straight outta Woodstock.
Cara Delevingne

If the baton had been passed down to anyone in recent years, it's been Cara Delevingne, a repeat attendee who doesn't compromise on comfort. Beanies, windbreakers and sweatpants all feature in her Glastonbury closet, but she won't pass up on donning a pair of Wellies every now and then too.
