This summer we saw some incredible fashions at music festivals like Coachella, Governors Ball, and Bonnaroo, but none more exciting than what the artists wore at Lollapalooza.
The festival’s diverse lineup, including 30 Seconds to Mars, Lana Del Rey and Lainey Wilson, results in a mix of fashion influences from different musical genres.
Heading to Burning Man on August 27th and don’t know what to wear? Attendees at Nevada’a’s annual event are encouraged to express their individuality through their clothing choices. FEMAIL is inspired by the artists who stole the show in Chicago.

Sophie Hawley-Weld of Sofi Tukker was unforgettable in a pink PatBO look at Lollapalooza. The 31-year-old singer wore an ombre cut-out sheer jumpsuit with statement sleeves, trimmed with multi-colored feathers.
Opt for over-the-top garments that adhere to the principles of the festival.
Lollapalooza takes place in various cities and has a vibrant and energetic atmosphere, which is often reflected in the fashion choices of its performers.

While feathers are just the right amount of style for a Burning Man look, leaving no trace is one of the festival’s Ten Tenets.
So instead of wearing feathers that can fall off (think cheap boas) and turn into MOOP (misplaced matter), go for a fringed garment!
The ‘Daisy Jones and The Six’ actress wore a lace jumpsuit with a ruffle-trimmed neckline that showed off her stunning bra.
The Burning Man style allows attendees to freely express their identities and artistic sides.
In fact, there’s no limit to how you can show your personality through your wardrobe – or lack of clothing – choices in Burning Man.
Joining Sophie at Lollapalooza in a unique ensemble was Suki Waterhouse.

Burning Man is known for its emphasis on radical self-expression, creativity, and non-commercialism.
Take a tip from Suki and stand out with a look that tastefully shows off some skin, keeping in mind that an outfit that allows movement for dancing and participation in various activities is key.
A string bikini under a fringed kimono, paired with short shorts, will keep you cool and looking cool in the desert.

Burning Man contestants often wear unique costumes that are whimsical, fantastical, or themed. Jared Leto nailed the look at Lollapalooza
Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone
Burning Man contestants often wear unique costumes that are whimsical, fantastical, or themed.
These costumes can range from futuristic to historical to provocative, and often blur the lines between everyday wear and stage attire.
Jared Leto mixed elements of rock, indie and art in his eclectic look at Grant Park.
The Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman brought the Lollapalooza crowd to their feet with a scarily cool look.
Jared wore a black shirt embroidered with ivory beads that mimicked the appearance of a human skeleton.
Red leather gloves and blue eye makeup completed her glamrock look.
Sabrina Carpenter brought pop culture vibes to the Chicago stage in a hot pink crop top and matching skirt.

On top, the star’s ensemble consisted of a heart-shaped bustier with diamond-encrusted straps, and on the bottom, a micro miniskirt with attached shorts.
She completed the look with white platform boots.
Burning Man attendees often make bold, offbeat and creative clothing choices, so tap into your inner Jared or Sabrina and go kitsch.
Some guests even lean into performance attire, like circus-inspired outfits or steampunk outfits.
Country singer Lainey Wilson stayed true to her Southern roots while performing at Lollapalooza in Western-inspired style.
American rapper Yung Gravy also showed off his taste for Western fashion in a patterned shirt and cowboy hat.
Take advantage of your roots but give it a provocative touch of Burning Man
Burning Man’s diverse and inclusive community often results in attendees incorporating elements of various cultures into their outfits.

Burning Man style encourages bold choices and eclectic combinations, so don’t be afraid to mix and match different textures, patterns, and styles.
Do you want to wear your favorite western-inspired peasant blouse? No problem! But pair it with latex underwear and a fun headdress!
Many attendees create their own outfits by repurposing clothing, adding handmade decorations, or incorporating recycled materials, as recycling and DIY are central to the sustainable spirit of the event.
Experiment with accessories and apply body paint or face makeup, but be practical when it comes to footwear so you can enjoy the amazing interactive art pieces, music, and people.
