Britain's most famous music festival is approaching for another year this weekend, and each time thousands of people gather at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, England, some of England's favorite celebrities and It-girls follow suit.
There's no debate that the reigning queens of Glastonbury Festival include Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, Pixie Geldof and Cara Delevigne, and over the years, their style moments have become canonized as the traditional Glastonbury dress code. From Hunter Wellington boots to striped shirts, anorak jackets, and oversized sunglasses, Britain's leading ladies have set the stylistic tone, and everyone else has followed suit.
Similarly to Coachella, Glastonbury has it's own brand of festival style, and across the pond, things are a little grungier. Instead of relying on Western sensibilities and questionable cultural references, the Brits embody almost everything that makes them, them—complete with mildly crappy weather to ensure everyone stays adequately English-looking, in boots fit for rain and mud, and outerwear fit for wind and drizzle. (See: Kate Moss' iconic gold lamé belted mini dress, Alexa Chung's Daisy Dukes and silver slip dress, Sienna Miller's 2010-era neon aviator sunglasses, and so much more.)
Below, see all of the most iconic Glastonbury looks throughout the years.
