It’s that time of year again when music lovers, A-listers, and fashion-forward festivalgoers descend on Worthy Farm for the legendary Glastonbury Festival.
This year’s kickoff was no different, with famous faces making bold appearances and soaking up the electric atmosphere under the open Somerset skies.
Lily James and Billie Piper Step Out in Matching Festival Looks
Lily James made a fashionable entrance, joining her longtime friend Billie Piper as the festivities got underway.
The Cinderella actress, 36, looked effortlessly chic as she wandered through the grounds in a light grey quilted Barbour jacket, black welly boots, a sporty bra top, and casual drawstring shorts.
Billie, 42, matched the vibe with her own take on festival flair—rocking the same boots but teaming them with a dark green wax Barbour jacket and black hot pants.
The duo looked like pros when it came to combining practical gear with red-carpet-ready edge.
Holly Willoughby Kicks Off the Weekend with Her Signature Boho Style
TV favorite Holly Willoughby also arrived in style, fresh off a helicopter from London.
The 44-year-old presenter, known for her love of Glastonbury, wasted no time diving into the fun.
Dressed in a dreamy white mini dress with lace details from Free People (worth £158), she paired it with a matching frilly cardigan and sturdy brown Grenson boots.
Toting her essentials in a fringed suede-look bag and pulling along a sizeable suitcase, Holly completed her look with oversized sunglasses and a wide-brimmed brown hat.
Beaming from ear to ear, she looked thrilled to be back at the festival she adores.
Margot Robbie and Anya Taylor-Joy Add Star Power to the Scene
Barbie star Margot Robbie was also spotted, radiating joy while chatting and drinking with friends.
Meanwhile, Queen’s Gambit actress Anya Taylor-Joy returned for her annual Glastonbury tradition and was seen enjoying Alanis Morissette’s performance from the side of the stage.
Pixie Geldof Keeps it Cool and Casual
Model and singer Pixie Geldof kept things relaxed with a stylish twist, donning an oversized brown wax jacket layered over a white boob tube and belted straight-leg jeans.
She completed the look with rugged boots and massive sunglasses—perfect for that “don’t-look-at-me-but-also-do” festival vibe.
Lewis Capaldi Makes Surprise Return with an Emotional Set
One of the biggest moments of the day belonged to Lewis Capaldi, who stunned fans with a surprise appearance on the Pyramid Stage.
Marking his first public performance after a two-year hiatus, the Scottish singer debuted his new single Survive—a powerful track that many interpreted as a reflection of his mental health journey and battle with Tourette’s.
Back in 2023, Lewis had emotionally exited the stage at Glastonbury after visibly struggling mid-set.
His voice gave out during Someone You Loved, prompting the crowd to take over and sing for him.
It was a beautiful yet heartbreaking moment, after which he decided to take a step back to focus on his health.
A Powerful Comeback After Time Away
This year’s return was kept secret until just days before the festival.
Lewis admitted in past interviews that his diagnosis with Tourette’s Syndrome, a neurological condition involving involuntary movements and sounds, had deeply impacted his life.
His candid Netflix documentary How I’m Feeling Now, released in 2023, detailed the emotional rollercoaster he’d been on.
Despite the vulnerability of performing again, Capaldi’s set was seen as a major step forward—a moment of triumph after a long and difficult pause.
Holly Shares a Festival Flashback That’s Too Relatable
Earlier this year, Holly Willoughby had everyone laughing when she recalled one of her past Glastonbury adventures.
On The Graham Norton Show, she told a hilarious story about cleaning a toilet at the festival after Elton John’s headline set in 2024.
After queuing forever in the post-performance rush, Holly finally got into a stall—only to find a disaster waiting inside.
Instead of just holding her breath and exiting, she pulled out her trusty wet wipes and gave the place a thorough scrub.
“I couldn’t leave it like that,” she said, laughing.
“The next person would’ve thought I did it!”
Glastonbury 2025 Set to Be Even Bigger
If day one was any indication, Glastonbury 2025 is on track to be another unforgettable year.
With artists like Rod Stewart, Olivia Rodrigo, Neil Young, The 1975, Nile Rodgers, and Noah Kahan all slated to perform, the excitement is only just beginning.
As the festival continues, one thing is clear—Glastonbury isn’t just about music.
It’s about stories, style, spontaneity, and unforgettable moments that live far beyond the muddy fields.
