Just Right In Front
Through the years, the Burning Man festival has also become an annual gathering where artists and attendees boast of their outfits. Judging from the photobombers around, we can say that this girl took all the pride in posing right in front of the enormous arc. It's sure easy to spot her with a getup like that.
This confident girl is Danish model Nina Agdal. She is best known for her brand endorsements relating to sportswear and summer outfits. She did a good job combining both concepts to look her best in the 2016 Burning Man event.
Matching With The Bestie
More than coming to the event to celebrate a common cause, Burning Man has become a safe space for everyone to express whatever they celebrate personally. In this case, it could be the gift of friendship between the two ladies.
According to Steal The Style, our friends greatly influence what we wear. Chances are, the more important styling is for you, the greater you will influence others or be influenced by companions yourself. This is especially true when you go as a pair to a special event where anything is free and can be worn.
The Surprise Leader Of The Band
This iconic picture made it to The Mercury News. It depicts how our choice of style can affect our role in society, in this case, in the Burning Man event. The website advised going to online shops, thrift stores, or heating things up the old-fashioned way.
Whatever fits your spirit, come in with complete confidence and see what you can contribute to the hype, just like this woman who found herself leading a band of guys. Her outfit might have matched the pack, but her energy and assertiveness made her stand out as the lady boss she is.
Maybe The Car Got Shy
The turtle car has attended the Burning Man event for years, like in 2007 and 2013. Maybe it came to celebrate with all the other artists, but it has also become a mini attraction! It's even perfectly positioned in a spot where anyone who would visit the beach can take a look.
Like real turtles, maybe we can assume that this vehicle got a bit shy too when this pretty woman stood beside it. Although turtles are naturally shy, as shared on the Pets on Mom website, they will eventually come out of their shell when they get comfortable with a person's presence.
Friendships Are Hot, Sweet, And Cool
Although Burning Man is focused on highlighting community togetherness, art, self-expression, and self-reliance, the idea of friendship also plays a key role. Many people consider going to the event only if a friend accompanies them. Not to mention the excitement as they decide to go with matching outfits.
As cliché as it sounds, a good friendship replenishes the soul! According to research, close friends make us more confident, physically and mentally. As seen in the photo, these two besties are having the time of their lives, side by side. Indeed, a key role in creating a celebration more worthwhile than ever.
Redefined Bed Of Roses
Staying true to its essence of promoting self-expression and freedom, this event has seen some of the most redefined classics the attendees have to offer. While the bed of roses ideology is often romanticized, especially by women, this girl proudly showed the world what her bed of champagne looks like!
And it is not just a bed; it is a wheeling cart for anyone who wants to join the fun. Seeing that she can successfully neck two champagne bottles at once, we are pretty sure she was accomplished in making the most out of the rest of the drinks.
Where Runway Superstars Bond
Two of today's highest-paid and most well-known models, Karlie Kloss and Cara Delevingne, enjoyed the Burning Man Festival in 2016. It is not a surprise to spot superstars in this event, as it has also become their outlet to maximize the freedom of style they can get.
Even if we see them all glammed-up in almost all of their events, it's another take when they prepare their gear-up for something not related to work. This photo went viral after they posted it on Instagram, and Vogue had made a list of the pieces they wore.
When Clothing Becomes A Matter Of Survival
Any outfit, costume, or design is welcomed at Burning Man. However, given that it is a nine-day art event in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, there comes the challenge of making the most out of any piece of clothing you have.
In almost all cases, clothes become limited and, for some, optional. Not to mention the hot and dry weather, which highlights the less-is-more concept of wearing something. So, seeing outfits like this in the middle of the event is pretty normal. And even if that is the case, the styling would never go wrong, like these ladies in the photo.
Where Sculptures Are Styled Too!
The Burning Man Festival 2017 saw the magic of this horse sculpture. Like most people, maximizing the overall experience included taking photos of everything sweet, spicy, and nice! The event also saw art designs like lighting torches, temples, and art installations of different materials.
That is one aspect that boasts about letting human and art materials come together to celebrate each other. It is created within, from, by, and for the community. The woman in the photo even acted as if she was in a once-in-a-lifetime shoot, which she is!
Going Viral For A Wholesome Reason
This beautiful woman is best remembered for the Burning Man event in 2013! While everyone is well-celebrated in the course of the event, some personalities just make it big outside the camera. This happens when their photographs get viral online, making them a sort of representative of the event for that specific year.
Times of India said it best when it discussed the powerful stance of bubbly and stylish personality. Sometimes, a character speaks louder than the external style. Indeed, this woman got viral not for her random pretty face but for her overall charming appeal that spoke loudly.
Sweet, Spice, And Everything Nice
The idea of what to wear while attending the Burning Man event is often a challenging one. However, they made it simple when they developed themes every year. As such, attendees are encouraged to wear something according to the year's theme.
In one glance, we can say this woman successfully pulled off a sweet yet sultry vibe. While every style is welcome at the event, it has been noted that it is rare to see something butterfly-themed. Butterflies in fashion are believed to represent personal transformation and freedom, as reported by Gardens with Wings.
Less Is Indeed More
Bikini pictures flood the Internet when it is Burning Man time! However, as aesthetic as they may look, the accompanying symbol of every piece of clothing is something to be thought of, valued, and respected. While many questioned the aggressiveness of style during the event, each outfit represents something more valuable than what we just see on the surface.
Letting women wear whatever they want boosts confidence and awareness, leading to a better self-perception. Moreover, wearing anything gold-colored symbolizes status, prestige, and elegance. It makes the person appear more sophisticated, especially if she knows how to play with angles, like this woman.
Assuming The Supermodel Status The Best Way Possible
Having a unique bicycle is one thing, but to be able to pose like an actual professional model is another. They can even pass off as endorsers, but they are not there for a brand deal. They are just trying one of the art installations that made it to the annual Burning Man festival.
Whether a bike or a horse sculpture, Pixpa has some beneficial advice for us! When taking a photo, position it at your best angle while following the photographer's direction. Most importantly, it is best to keep the poses moving and alive even when sitting.
The Queen And The Empress
The art installation of a lady who looks like a queen of the land is just one example of how sculptures and art installations were developed during the Burning Man festival. The emergence of such forms is a significant event in the history of art and celebrations.
The mid-20th century saw the rise of installation art, and artists warmly accepted it. They began experimenting with the materials and the environment to create a deep meaning out of what they wanted to express. Hence, this is just an example of what's celebrated at the festival.
Looks Like Someone Escaped From A Video Game
The Burning Man 2018 saw numerous flaky, snowy, and bohemian-themed outfits. This gorgeous lady seemed to capture all three elements in one adoring style. It would take a little more armor, and she would look like someone who has escaped a video game digital world.
Organizers of the event highly encouraged everyone to adhere to the theme, which also enhances the creativity to express ourselves in the most imaginative way possible while following a common fashion ground. Some of the most recent themes include evolution, hope and fear, the future, and dreams.
Who Says Panda Can't Rule?
While many critics have openly pointed out that the Burning Man festival has changed, many people still patronize it. Comments emphasized how the essence of the festival has somehow changed. Readers from Pinterest have expressed their views on how it shifted from being a genuinely radical event to an assertive one now.
Despite all these, loyal patrons still keep up the hype. And if few things genuinely remained, that would be the beauty of art installations and sculptures, which people adore. Take this girl, for example, who seemed to be looking up to the king of the day.
Truly A Desert Empire
One glance at this picture makes it easy to assume this was taken from a tourist spot somewhere in Egypt or Europe. However, this is one of the beautiful sceneries built during the 2018 Burning Man festival.
The event is perceived by many as full of booze and partying. Yet, this photo depicted what it's like to experience the happening in a serene and light atmosphere. We can imagine the figures still standing out at night because of their white and silver color. According to the organizers, one goal is to make yourself and the art visible at night.
Because Mirror Balls Shine Despite The Heat
The Burning Man 2018 followed the theme "I, Robot." The giant mirror ball/high orb/silver Earth replica was one of its main art features! People were impressed by the colossal orb that also reflected the location.
The designers of the art piece were Bjarke Ingels and Jakob Lange from Denmark. They shared that it is a model of Earth that could also pass as a shiny sphere of a mini planet. Lange also mentioned to Business Insider that it is a tribute to nature and human expression celebrated in the festival.
The Whole Is Greater Than The Sum Of Its Parts
Seeing sculptures everywhere during the Burning Man festival is not new, but it is different when we spot a huge-sized horse sculpture made of unusual objects. It's not a surprise that people flock to take photographs.
The genius creators of the art were artist Elko and inventor Barry Crawford. The kinetic horse sculpture named Rearing Horse was made of objects found at home and in the streets. Crawford shared that the art was inspired by a smaller horse sculpture he had made previously. It was an excellent move to put it on the event for the world to see.
Channeling Your Digital Game Dreams
Dinosaurs often come in just two ways: through movies and video games. So, we can't blame this lady when she came in her most suitable outfit coupled with the perfect armor to meet one in person. Special mention to the blue locks that complemented everything.
We just hope the armor was only for costume purposes, though. Because even though we delight in seeing cosplay on the ground, we don't want to be caught up in an attack and defense scenario on the field! Digital games are independent video games that aim to produce a high-quality mobile experience.
You Can Never Go Wrong With A Ray Of Colors
While most people prefer to maintain a strict color palette on their outfits during Burning Man festivals, this lady testified otherwise. She opted to come in a full-color-themed ensemble, which blended well! And it is safe to assume that she stood out with all those bling and crystals.
Travel Fashion Girl Blog provided some tips when packing clothing for the festival. Aside from prioritizing main outfits following the theme, we should also consider bringing warm and snuggly ones for sleeping. The venue will only be comprised of tents, and although the night is alive in the event, it's still better to be safe than sorry.
Memo: Come In Pairs
The Burning Man 2018 has proven that it is indeed a lively festival. Happy smiles don't lie whether we pose in front of a large artistic sculpture or the middle of nowhere. Happiness is evident whether we sport the most colorful outfit out there or stick to a simple palette.
All those are especially true if we come with our best pal; as cliché, as it sounds, good things come in pairs! Judging from their happy spirit, we know they had a good time reliving the best time of their lives in what is considered a privileged moment to celebrate.
A Classic Icon Spotted
Putting up an annual theme for every Burning Man event makes attendees' lives easier, as they are given more specific outfit choices. The theme is an underlying foundation for everyone, and individual styles are still the highlight. This idea makes it a fun challenge for everyone who wants to look great.
We would like to believe the Hollywood legend came back to life and enjoyed a festival that suits her personality best. However, this girl just successfully pulled off a Marilyn Monroe-inspired outfit! The legendary actress is among Hollywood's most iconic stars, and seeing her remnants in events like these is always a delight.
Charlie's Angels On A Special Mission
Going in pairs is lovely, but seeing groups of three in a coordinated outfit is another special sight! These three beautiful ladies decided to show up in their Charlie's Angels-inspired looks, and they came prepared with all the props and blocking.
Nylon Manila has laid out reasons why friendship trio works best in many situations. They explained that it could get intimate but also casual. A team of three ensures a better emotional balance and understanding, needed not just for teamwork but overall life support. This trio surely didn't just share a good time at the festival but also developed a stronger bond!
Why Festival Friendships Are Important Too
Festivals such as the Burning Man carry similar economic benefits to other events. This includes attracting visitors, stimulating the growth of tourism, and expanding businesses in a region. However, as the University of Minnesota explained, the social benefits of attending festivals are as significant.
Events like this foster community pride and expose people to new ideas, experiences, and relationships. That is why building friendships in the middle of the festival is something that many people expect. More so when the bond would extend outside the event premises. That is why, aside from going in with friendships by our side, going out with new friendships formed is essential too.
Family Day But Make It Extra
While families often bond in supermarkets, playgrounds, and picnics, this adorable family decided to spend nine days in the Black Rock Desert to participate in the Burning Man event. Many people perceive the festival as full of music, booze, and aggressive habits, but the organization considers it a kid-friendly event.
Business Insider reported little children are given the opportunity to celebrate within the premises. Children under the age of 18 are allowed to enter as long as a legal guardian accompanies them. One of the best things? They can join for free!
Sweetness And Sophistication Rolled Into One
Outfits, arts, and people of all walks of life are welcome and celebrated. This photo made it to newspapers as one of the beautiful moments captured in the 2018 Burning Man festival. Aside from embracing the essence of the event through its glam style, the girl's colorful outfit speaks a louder meaning.
According to Shondaland, colorful clothing lifts the mood. It makes us happier and more engaged, which is why people prefer sporting a similar theme. In addition, Access Creative also advised finding some cool sunglasses to complete any look. It looked like this girl had just completed the checklist.
Why Less Is More
Looking good in a colorful outfit is as fabulous as looking good in a plain-colored one. In this case, it matters who wears it, what she does with it, and the angles for the trick. This photo pushes us to take a second look because it was captured perfectly.
Nonetheless, keeping outfits simple is best when approached with a minimalist concept. The idea revolves around keeping the essential things rather than wearing too many pieces. Writing Explained blog notes that the idea allows us to focus on what matters more, making the event experience worthwhile.
Hear, Here!
One of the art installations that stood out from the Burning Man festival in 2019 was this telephone booth. Standing in the middle of the vast desert and with the obvious caption "Talk To God," anyone could surely take a second glance at what it is about.
Along with this booth are more art installations like Squid Soap, Dream Swing, The Head Maze, and Stone 27. These art forms represent the theme of transformation seen from different perspectives. Although they are uniquely different, the common thread lies in their ability to let the attendees experience something new and stimulate new ideas, as emphasized by Sense Group.
Take Me To Wonderland
It is a wonder to spot an art installation perfectly blending with our outfit. This girl took the opportunity and struck her best pose to look as if she were posing for a blockbuster Hollywood film. This photo made it to Living Magazine, and they complemented the same thing!
The girl's silver sweater, headdress, socks, arms, and the horse sculpture itself is a perfect combination. In urban legends, horse sculptures are believed to honor the bravery of horses during battle. Whether the artist intended to represent such, we cannot deny how it was crafted, especially for events like this.
Safe And Stylish
While any outfit is welcomed at the festival, there are multiple reminders on what not to bring or wear. Some of the clothing not allowed include costumes with feathers or sequins, glow sticks, laser pointers, drones, fireworks, and even tiny plastic water bottles.
With these, it seemed like the Burning Man was not just all about the fun and glam, compared to popular belief. Everyone is expected to adhere to the rules, and following them reflects how we respect other people and the event itself. For example, this girl chose to pull off a look that abides by the rules yet is stylish enough to stand out.
Keeping My Tiara Polished
This lady chose to keep her outfit simple, but the glam is heavily directed to her crowning glory. Attending the Burning Man festival, she had her fair share of preparations that led to that look. Her golden crowning glory reflected the bliss of youth and can even be compared to an angelic halo, as the Madison Reed website suggests.
Maintaining a golden-colored style also creates an illusion of depth and movement, contributing to an overall look. Indeed, who needs an actual tiara when one can easily embed this kind on the top of one's head.
Beating The Heat, The Fashionable Way
In attending events in a warm place, it's easy to say sunscreen is the key. However, this girl showed us an alternative fashion that combines security, comfort, and style. She even improvised face masks way before they became a regular part of our lives in 2020.
As Simply Masquerade recommended, the petroleum jelly adds the overlapping strength of the mask to the face. We can also add some honey, turmeric, or aloe vera if we want to keep it extra. After such, the fun part comes in designing it in accordance with one's goal getup.
I Got You, Sister!
Going to the Burning Man festival is an experience of a lifetime, and these two best friends have made a vow to enjoy the event together. Not just that, they purposely designed their clothes and accessories so they come out in matching outfits.
Indeed, having someone to enjoy the festival together is special. Yet, it is the connection that matters the most. Elite Daily explained that friendship is a special gift and a unique bond with memories understandable only to the people involved. Aside from enjoying the happening itself, it could also be a place where we can boast of our strong connections.
There's A Lot Going On... But It's Beautiful
The title does not just describe the weirdly great photo captured but also the essence of the whole Burning Man event. A lot is always going on in all corners of this happening, and this photo gives us a glimpse of it. The couple took delight in capturing people's different interests with the art installation at the back.
The process is messy in creating such art pieces, but it always leads to a wholesome result. And for the people at the back, we commend them for experiencing the art in the most realistic way possible.
