As one of the most copied fashion icons in the world Alexa Chung's festival style is always on point. The star made dad-fave Barbour jackets and Hunter wellies cool again, teaming them with Burberry mini dresses and red carpet-worthy separates. Her take on high-low dressing makes Alexa one to watch every festival season. Her squad is normally the coolest crowd, too. Daisy Lowe, Caroline Flack, Nick Grimshaw et al all end up partying on her Instagram. Top tip: when she's hungover Alexa slicks on red lippy to help distract people from the rest of her face.
