How Americans vs. Brits Do Festival Beauty: Kate Moss and Kendall Jenner Face Off

Tomorrow, Glastonbury Festival kicks off in Somerset, England, and our friends across the pond have geared up for five days of festival beauty—albeit of a far different sort than what dominated at Coachella two months ago. There’s no better way to illustrate that cultural contrast than with supermodels Kate Moss and Kendall Jenner, who, as a study in opposites, have come to define each festival’s signature look, with its cultural nuances.
First, there’s Kate Moss, who has been tromping around in mud-splattered Wellies for over a decade. Nowadays, the British icon’s inherently cool style is regularly imitated by the next generation of Glastonbury girls: all tousled second-day waves and foundation-free skin, loose and easy, as though you’ve rolled out of bed and right up to the grounds to play, rain or shine.
Halfway around the world, there's Kendall Jenner, who, fully made-up like a boho dream with shimmering skin, carefully defined arches, and two whimsical knots pinned to the top of her head in years past, has offered up her fair share of all-American inspiration. Evoking the ’70s flower child spirit that Coachella has come to be known for, Jenner’s approach is more playful and costumey—because when you’re roaming through sun-drenched fields of California, why not have a bit of fun with it?
Whichever camp you fall into, at least on one point, all parties agree: A slick set of shades is non-negotiable. Happy frolicking.
