Kate Moss’ Best-Ever Glastonbury Outfits—And Where to Shop Them
I trawled the Glastonbury archives so you don’t have to


It’s hard to overstate the impact Kate Moss’ wardrobe has had on millennials like me. Just yesterday, for example, I was browsing Gimaguas’ new pop-up on Greek Street, minding my own business, when I drifted past a whisper of a dress that instantly recalled Mossy’s lurex micro-mini—the one she styled with a black leather belt studded with the word “Glastonbury” (iconic!) and muddy Hunter wellies. And just like that, I had to have it. Suddenly, that otherwise minimalist crochet dress felt like a slice of fashion history. And since I’m heading to Glastonbury this year, I saw no reason not to buy it—bank balance be damned!
Rockstar girlfriend, Britpop muse, boho babe—whatever the era, Kate Moss has always embodied the quintessential Glastonbury-goer. This is a woman who has trotted around Worthy Farm in heels—high heels—prompting my friends and me to ask, “Should we pack stilettos for a famously muddy festival that spans acres of rolling Somerset countryside?” Regina George may have inspired girls to cut peep-holes into their tank tops, but Kate Moss made pin-thin heels at a music festival feel not only possible, but aspirational.
Tassels and tailoring, micro shorts and muddy wellies, leather and lurex—Kate Moss’ Glasto style might be idiosyncratic, but it’s never chaotic, but that’s not to say she sticks to a strict dress code, either.
Here, we revisit some of Kate Moss’ most iconic Glastonbury outfits of all time—and where to shop Mossy-approved staples today.

First up: the aforementioned itsy-bitsy burnt gold dress. Destined to live on ‘festival fashion’ Pinterest boards till time immortal, this will go down as one of Kate Moss’ most iconic outfits of all time. Comprising a few of the model’s hallmarks—leather, gold, studs—it’s hard to imagine anyone else in this outfit and yet, year after year, countless Kate Moss acolytes (complimentary) try.

2005 was a legend-cementing year for Kate Moss as this outfit—from the first day of the festival—proves. For years, rumours swirled that the model was wearing a pair of (then-boyfriend) Pete Doherty’s boxers, but she recently told Vogue that they were, in fact, Alexander McQueen hot pants, natch.

The year was 2007: The Who, The Arctic Monkeys and The Killers played, and Kate Moss and Pete Doherty were the generation’s Keith Richards and Anita Pallenberg. Looking every inch the supermodel rockstar girlfriend, she paired vinyl skinny pants and a batwing blouse with heeled boots, naturally.

It’s not all black leather and studs, as this 2003 outfit proves. Enter ballet slipper pink and the most inventive use of a bandana since Carrie inexplicably turned her Hermès scarf into an arm cuff.

Another Glastonbury, another outing for these heeled knee boots. For Glastonbury 2013, Moss went uncharacteristically minimalist, teaming her noteworthy heels with black skinny jeans and a love-worn aviator jacket. Styling was low-key with a pair of oversized shades and yet another black leather belt.

Simply iconic. This is Kate Moss at her most Rock ‘n’ Roll with lashings of studs, leather and borrowed-from-the-boys hallmarks in the form of an oversized leather jacket, and, if memory serves, Pete Doherty’s trilby. The eagled-eyed amongst us will notice *that* gold mini peeking out—Glastonbury vets know it’s all about the layers when it comes to day-to-night festival dressing.

Fishnet tights bring an unexpected element to this classic Kate Moss formula: relaxed black tee, hotpants, and an oversized jacket. Layered pendant necklaces and a gem stone ring nod to the festival’s hippie origins.

In 2003, Kate Moss gave festival dressing a boho-pirate spin with this flouncy blouse and sheepskin vest. Signature skinny jeans were switched out for black leggings to balance the oversized proportions.
