Thanks To Kate Moss, Your Fantasy Festival Wardrobe Is Now Within Reach
Among the thousands of famous photographs of Kate Moss, there's one that has come to be emblematic of several things at once: a sybaritic British summer, the early noughties boho aesthetic, the dawn of festival fashion, the supermodel's own inimitable style. She's walking through a field at Glastonbury in 2003, wearing a pale pink tunic dress with black fringed moccasin boots, a printed silk scarf knotted around her hips and her face semi-obscured by a combination of sunglasses and a curtain of dirty-blonde hair.
'I went to get some breakfast on my own,' Moss recalls of this Glasto outing.

The look pre-dated Instagram and influencers, and yet it had the sort of impact today's young tastemakers could scarcely dream of. Some 22 years on, now that festival wardrobes are curated with military precision and documented ad nauseam online, it's interesting to contemplate exactly how much thought went into Kate's oft-emulated outfit. Not a lot, it turns out.
'Planned outfits never work for me,' says Moss with a shrug. 'I don't do that.' She couldn't have known the clothes she threw together that year would ultimately become a sort of cultural touchstone, but she did get some inkling of the stir she'd created over the course of the weekend. 'I went to get some breakfast on my own, and there was one photographer,' she remembers of that morning outing in her pink dress. 'It wasn't a paparazzi-fest then.' The next day, a friend told her she'd made the papers. 'We'd gone to see Chas & Dave and he told me: 'You're on the cover of The Sunday Times,'' she says with her signature cackle. 'I was like, 'Don't be stupid!''

Osimhen or Isak? Gags and Grizz Break Down the Options
Liverpool Transfer Plans Heating Up: Isak, Osimhen and Ekitike in Focus as Gags and Grizz Weigh In As Liverpool navigate their most pivotal transfer window in years, the conversation around who leads the line next season is intensifying. On the latest episode of Chat G & G, Gags Tandon and Grizz Khan dived deep into the club's plans, weighing up the merits and possibilities of high-profile strikers Alexander Isak, Victor Osimhen and Hugo Ekitike. Isak: The Centrepiece of Liverpool's Summer? 'Isak is the one,' said Gags, emphatically backing the Swedish forward. 'If we do get him, that's the banger.' Grizz was equally enthused by Liverpool's intent. 'This is world record bid territory. We're prepared to make that move,' he revealed. Both agreed that Liverpool are lining up a statement signing and are ready to strike—if Newcastle United open the door. Advertisement However, Grizz raised a cautionary note on timing: 'If Isak says, 'Let me give Newcastle a Champions League run-out,' it's over. Liverpool won't wait. Not at 28.' Gags added, 'This is now or never. It's very clear we've got plans B and C, but Isak is the gem.' Osimhen: The Certified Goal Machine While Isak may be the club's top priority, the discussion pivoted compellingly to Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. Grizz labelled him 'the most certified goalscorer available right now,' while Gags passionately defended the Nigerian's character and resilience. 'People talk about his attitude, but if you've been racially abused by your own club's social media, would you just take it?' Gags said. 'Victor Osimhen is a lion, a killer. Why wouldn't you want someone with that fire in him?' Advertisement If Liverpool cannot prise Isak away from St James' Park, Osimhen may become more than just an alternative. He fits the bill physically, technically and mentally, and Grizz believes he could be 'absolutely electric' with the likes of Salah and Diaz around him. Ekitike: Raw Talent or Future Star? The wildcard in the conversation was Hugo Ekitike. While less experienced than the others, the former PSG striker was cited by Gags as 'one for the future.' He noted Liverpool's ability to scout talent just before it explodes: 'They want to go for the real deal, but if that doesn't happen, they go for the next best… younger, more room to grow.' Grizz, however, wasn't sold on Ekitike as a standalone solution. 'We're not bringing in two number nines. If we go for Ekitike, it cannot be at the expense of a proven starter.' Ruthless Rebuild Under Slot What stood out most in this Chat G & G instalment was the club's intent to act like a heavyweight in the market. 'This is what you call succession planning, future-proofing for the next four or five years,' Gags declared. 'We've got the funds, the project and the vision. The only thing left is the execution.' Advertisement Grizz, while usually measured, agreed: 'We've said for years, 'When will we act like a big club?' The time is now.' As the Liverpool faithful await official movement, the names of Isak, Osimhen and Ekitike remain at the heart of a potential frontline evolution. And if Gags and Grizz are right, the Reds aren't just buying players this summer—they're building a new identity.

Glastonbury Organiser Says Those Who Don't Agree With Festival's Politics 'Can Go Elsewhere'
Michael Eavis has insisted that politics still play an important part of Glastonbury's identity. The 89-year-old festival founder was recently interviewed by the Glastonbury Free Press about whether he thinks that the huge-scale music event still stands for something (as reported by The Guardian). 'Oh heaven's above, yes, of course it does,' he said. 'And I think the people that come here are into all those things.' Michael added: 'People that don't agree with the politics of the event can go somewhere else.' As well as musical performances, this year's Glastonbury will include a number of political events. These will include a talk about 'what['s] next for the Left' by commentators like Ash Sarkar and Gary Younge, as well as a debate about the rise of the 'far-right' in our contemporary society with Labour's Zarah Sultana. Green Party MP Caroline Lucas will also make an appearance for a discussion titled Saving The Planet But Not Leaving Workers Behind, while Gary Lineker will take part in a panel called Standing Up For 'Getting Along' In A World That's Being Pushed Apart. One of the most talked-about acts at this year's Glastonbury will be Kneecap, who are due to appear after one of its members was charged with a terror offence. Kneecap have long maintained that they've been the victims of a 'witchhunt' and 'smear campaign' ever since their set at the Coachella music festival in April, where they expressed solidarity with Palestine amid the current conflict in the Middle East, leading the crowd in a chant of 'free Palestine' and projecting the message 'fuck Israel' onto the screens behind them. Days later, it was reported that counter-terrorism officers were assessing a resurfaced video filmed at one of the group's gigs that took place five months earlier, during which they reportedly declared 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah'. It was subsequently confirmed that musician Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh – better known to Kneecap fans by stage name Mo Chara – had been charged with a terror offence, for allegedly brandishing the flag of the proscribed terrorist group Hezbollah, after being handed it by a member of the crowd at Kneecap's London show in November 2024. Kneecap responded: 'We deny this 'offence' and will vehemently defend ourselves. This is political policing. This is a carnival of distraction. We are not the story. Genocide is.' Prime minister Keir Starmer has voiced the opinion it is 'inappropriate' for Kneecap's Saturday afternoon slot to go ahead, to which the group wrote on Instagram: 'You know what's 'not appropriate' Keir?! Arming a fucking genocide…' Michael Eavis' daughter Emily is now one of the event's organisers, and shared her take on the Kneecap controversy during an interview on Wednesday morning. 11 Must-See Performances If You're Watching Glastonbury From Home This Year The BBC Sets The Record Straight About Why They Won't Be Airing Neil Young's Glastonbury Set Glastonbury Organiser Breaks Silence On Controversy Over Kneecap's Spot On This Year's Line-Up
