Lily James, Billie Piper and Gemma Chan all made stylish appearances as were spotted in Glastonbury's swanky VIP area.

Actress Lily, 34, was seen walking through the exclusive area of the Worthy Farm festival wearing a Barbour waxed jacket and a pair of short wellies from the traditional country clothing brand – appearing to be braced for a downpour.

She donned a chic black ribbed mini-dress underneath the coat which had a metallic mesh cowl neck detailing and trim around the skirt.

She was joined by fellow actress Billie Piper, 40, who was also prepared for all weathers in a long coat with brass buttons, which she wore on top of a lilac shirt and matching shorts set.

Perhaps less concerned about mud, she opted for a pair of sturdy clogs rather than rubber boots.

Both Lily and Billie had their tanned legs on show and opted for a pair of dark sunglasses as well as small crossbody bags as they smiled while making their way through the VIP area.

The pair – who have been pals for years – worked together for the first time last year when Billie directed Lily in her debut film, Rare Beasts, an ‘unhinged comedy’ which was released in March 2023.

Also spotted in the exclusive VIP pocket of sprawling Worthy Farm in Somerset was Lily’s Mamma Mia co-star Dominic Cooper, 45, and his girlfriend Gemma Chan.

Gemma, 40, wore a white miniskirt and slogan T-shirt, with wellies and a chunky Barbour jacket thrown on top.

The Don't Worry Darling actress shielded her eyes from the Glastonbury sun with a pair of dark shades and wore her short ombré locks in a wavy down hairstyle.

Meanwhile, Gemma's boyfriend Dominic, 45, got into the festival spirit as he donned a trilby hat, dark sunglasses a white T-shirt with a dark coat, black trousers and matching boots for the occasion.

Tonight Glastonbury revellers can look forward to watching Guns ’N’ Roses, and Elton John will round off his “last ever tour” on the iconic Pyramid Stage tomorrow.

Fans fumed when they realised that white male acts dominated the top slots – with Arctic Monkeys headlining last night.

But it seems American pop sensation Lizzo had been intended to fill one of those slots, but ruined her own chance by responding to a request too slowly.

Glastonbury organiser Emil Eavis has explained that the 35-year-old About Damn Time singer – who will take to the Pyramid Stage on Saturday – scuppered herself.

Emily told Anita Rani on Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour: "Lizzo confirmed way after.

"So when people think, ‘Why didn’t you put her there?’ it doesn’t really work like that.

"It would have been a great idea. Lizzo would have been an amazing headliner and hopefully she will headline."
