The 10 Best Onstage Looks At Lollapalooza 2026, Ranked<\/h1>\n
\n

One designer was a clear favorite.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Rain or shine, the music-hungry fans of Chicago show up and show out for Lollapalooza<\/a> every year. In 2026, the stakes were especially high, and we spent the weekend running around Grant Park trying to catch all of our favorites. (We lost count of how many previous It Girls<\/a> had sets.) Equally as important as the setlists and surprise songs are the looks our top artists wear on stage, and there were some surprising themes this year. <\/p>\n

After we declared it the year of Ann Demeulemeester, three stars wore looks inspired by her signature military jackets, with Jennie and Mar\u00eda Zardoya<\/a> actually<\/em> pulling from the designer. The black-and-white theme was everywhere, from the on-trend Ellie Rowsell of Wolf Alice clad in leather to Zardoya of Not For Radio sporting feathers alongside emo prince Sombr<\/a>. Of course, it wouldn\u2019t be a Zara Larsson<\/a> set without glitter, dolphins, and a rainbow of color, and she injected the otherwise monotone weekend with her signature panache. See who else made our ranking below.<\/p>\n

Wolf Alice is no stranger to the festival scene, but they\u2019re continuing to find new legions of fans everywhere they tour their latest album, The Clearing<\/em>. Lead singer Rowsell has as new fan in us with her signature matching black-leather look, orange-red lip, and studded belt. It\u2019s deceivingly simple and effective at proving her badass-ery (as if her voice didn\u2019t get the job done). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

From Slayyyterchella<\/a> to Slayyyter Ball all the way to Slayyyterpalooza, our favorite girl in America<\/a> has been seeing larger and larger crowds for her rowdy, riotous festival set. Her stop in Chicago was also a detour through truck-driver couture, with a tackle belt, vintage trucker hat, and a corseted plaid shirt that makes the gas station feel oh-so fashion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The prince of sad-boy pop<\/a> made a striking entrance onto the main stage in a feather-trimmed band jacket custom-made by Yarden Dachut and flare-leg pants. Honoring style icons like Mick Jagger and Prince is never a bad move, and he pulls it off with his lanky frame and hyper-energetic stage presence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The second military-jacket look came from the princess of K-pop,<\/a> who took to the main stage in a full runway look from Ann Demeulmeester.<\/a> It was punk, moved well with her, and showed off her covetable abs. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We have seen moss-covered runways, and now it seems musicians are going for a subterranean look for their stages. Not For Radio<\/a> leading lady Zardoya brought the high fashion with a feathered top and lace skirt from \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 Ann Demeulemeester. It captures her gothic romance and also looks great laid out against the greenery onstage. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

91,000 people for a Saturday night is not a bad date. Dean<\/a> made literal waves with her custom Versace dress, which felt like both something made for a Gen Z crooner and also fitting for Diana Ross, which shows just how timeless Dean really is.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Primadonna girl, all she ever wanted was the world… and she\u2019s getting it. Ad\u00e9la<\/a> brought her neon-pink-covered set to the girls with a sexy, stylish matching bra and panty set topped with a band-style vest, periwinkle stay-ups, and her signature pointe-toe Louboutin boots. Not only do the beads on her panties move like a dream, the mix of references and inspirations results in something fresh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

You can practically hear this picture, both with her powerhouse vocals and the sound of her boots clacking on the stage. Larsson\u2019s folded-over sequined denim shorts with the \u201cPuss Puss\u201d underwear peeking through? It doesn\u2019t get better than this: sassy, sexy, girly, best seen doing the \u201cMidnight Sun<\/a>\u201d hip movements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We have a sixth sense that Issey Miyake will make a resurgence this year, and Lorde<\/a> is of course right at the forefront. She paired a highlighter-fuschia pleated top with plain black bottoms, and revealed a neon bra<\/a> (our trendy queen!) after peeling the top off. With lots of silver jewelry, some well-placed highlighter, and an especially off-putting coin belt (complimentary), she struck the perfect weird-meets-high-fashion balance she\u2019s been pulling off all festival season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
