Zilker Park saw it all during ACL Fest 2025: incredible live performances, bites and sips from Austin’s top restaurants, surprise celebrity sightings, and of course, some of the most fabulous festival fashion around.

So, what were people wearing this October? A little bit of everything, but maximalism was the unspoken dress code. From Western to Y2K, festivalgoers showed out in vibrant prints, detailed textures, glittering accessories, and bold silhouettes that screamed self-expression.

Check out a few iconic outfits that caught our eye in the crowd.
