Lollapalooza isn’t just a place for artists to be heard: it’s one of the biggest venues for them to be seen. And as you might imagine, everyone The FADER talked to at Lollapalooza 2026 had that shit on. We snapped 35mm portraits of everyone we talked to, and got some great style advice and perfume recommendations along the way. Check it all out below.
INJI

“Either the jasmine one from Tom Ford or Chanel No. 5,” INJI says of her signature scent. “Sometimes Miss Dior.”

INJI’s stage outfit was a modified prom dress, though its’ big 80’s skirt was already ripped off by the time we chatted backstage. Underneath, she’d worn a reworked hot pink skirt with a shimmering fringe from Amazon she’d sewn on for extra coverage. The look was topped off by an enormous custom sash, some gold jewelry, and red-spattered knuckles – “I had some blood on my hands,” she joked of her performance.

horsegiirL and Six Sex.

How does horsegiirL keep her skin so clear? “Right now I don’t do much to my skin besides the usual retinal light against wrinkles,” she said. “And a little bit of anti-aging, a little bit of hyaluronic acid… lots of good apples, good carrots, being outside, drinking water, and sweets.”
Jae Stephens

Backstage, Jae Stephens was wearing a pair of lowtop Air Forces and cargos with a lace trimmed leopard-print bra by Agent Provocateur emblazoned with a bright red “A.” While the high-end lingerie brand was likely nodding to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Scarlett Letter, as part of Jae’s ensemble, it was obvious the A was for Audacity, as in the title of her upcoming album: speaking on the title, Jae says, “I think women could use the audacity a little bit.”
Bella Kay

54 Ultra

54 Ultra was rocking a Yankees cap, a vintage Rolex (he’s a watch buff), and a beautiful pair of diamond bracelets he’d found secondhand in London.
Snow Strippers
Vivian Medithi / The FADER
I loved the tiny bow details on Tati’s preppy Lolla outfit, which included a rope belt that made her outfit feel more nautical than dark academia; Graham’s balaclava-and-tank-top combo kept the emphasis on his arm muscles (please drop the workout routine).
Cruz Beckham
When I ask Cruz Beckham what perfume he wears, he reaches for his phone: “I don’t know the name of it, but I could show you a picture… I just have to search up ‘red and gold perfume.’” Yes, it was Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdijan. As for his accessories, a pair of necklaces and a watch? They belong to his older brother. “Don’t tell him – he’s going to see this now anyway.”

Love Spells
Vivian Medithi / The FADER
Lollapalooza brought out the bracelets and Love Spells was no exception, rocking a pair of strappy leather wraparound fingerless gloves. He was also rocking a pair of black ostrich leather boots despite the rain and mud.
CORTIS

When we asked CORTIS for style advice for our readers, JUHOON told us, “Show your skin – T-shirts, sleeveless, shorts.” How much skin should they show? “As much as they want!”
Claire Rosinkranz
Vivian Medithi / The FADER
I loved Claire Rosinkranz’s turquoise statement necklace, a perfectly bold accessory to dress up a lowkey fit.
Sunshine Benzi
“I could never afford to come to Lollapalooza,” says Sunshine Benzi. “And as an Illinoisian, I always dreamt of it.” For her Sunday performance, Benzi wore a paneled leather dress with a bevy of silvery chrome accessories.
Six Sex

Will Swinton
Vivian Medithi / The FADER
“My roommate gets sent a lot of free cologne, and I usually will just burst in there and just take whatever,” Will Swinton says of his scent profile. “For a long time I had this signature cologne which I thought was this super mystique, international thing – it was Abercrombie. But we didn’t have that in New Zealand.”
MUNA
Vivian Medithi / The FADER
“I want to gatekeep my shit so bad, but I am gonna give you one,” Naomi McPherson says when I ask about perfume. “I wear Moss by Perfumer H – their scents are amazing. I want to get their scent Ink that apparently smells like Ink on paper, and they have a scent called Charcoal I really want to get too.”
“I’m not wearing any [perfume],” says Jo Maskin. “Naomi started making deodorant and I’m wearing deodorant by Naomi.” “I am as well,” Katie Gavin chimes in. Does it work? “Yes!” MUNA reply in unison.
Frost Children
Vivian Medithi / The FADER
“One time I spent $100 on used Balenciaga glasses on Depop and they came in while I was on tour and then when I got back it was just stolen,” says Lulu Frost. “But now I got some anyway so it’s okay.” On the fragrance side, Angel Frost says she wears Ralph Lauren Beyond Romance: “It smells like the store, at least the women’s section.” “I just smell really good raw, “ Lulu adds.
aespa
Vivian Medithi / The FADER
When we asked aespa to walk us through their festival outfits on Sunday, Giselle joked, “it’s just what you would expect Kpop girls to wear to a festival.” Both Giselle and Ningning wore pieces by London brand 1xblue, specifically the brand’s Cross Torque Leotard and Biba Dress.
As for their perfume preferences, Ningning wears BVLGARI Blue, and Winter wears one of the blue-bottled citrus perfumes by Kilian Paris. Karina wears THÉ NOIR 29 by Le Labo and Giselle wears Portrait of a Lady by Frederic Malle.
