Each year, the We Love Green festival turns Paris into an open-air laboratory of music and style. And while the weather once again tried to play spoilsport, it did nothing to dampen the flair of the artists on the lineup. Proof that even in the rain, style reigns supreme. Spotlight on five unmissable performers from this year’s edition, ready to electrify the crowd, ponchos or not.
Charli XCX, the ultimate techno queen
Get ready to dance in the mud: Charli XCX is set to hit the Main Stage this Saturday with a raw, high-energy live show, true to Brat, her now-iconic album infused with acid techno beats and a neon green aesthetic. Unfiltered, braless, and unapologetic, the British artist embodies a bold, liberated take on femininity.
A proud fashion icon, she blends Y2K aesthetics with cutting-edge designer pieces. A muse for Acne Studios, Valentino Beauty, and H&M, she effortlessly switches between custom Maison Margiela, Ann Demeulemeester, and rising labels like Luar ou AV Vattev. A brat style, as strong as her music.
FKA Twigs, in a world of her own
She’s back with Eusexua, an album as enigmatic as it is mystical. This Sunday at We Love Green, FKA Twigs promises an immersive performance where R’n’B, pop, new wave, and avant-garde blend easily. A more sensory experience than a concert.
When it comes to style, Twigs channels an almost sacred sensuality. She’s often seen in Rick Owens, Valentino Couture, Alexandre Vauthier, or as a muse for Miu Miu and Chanel. A true chameleon, she transforms with every appearance, blurring the lines between digital avatar and ancient goddess.
Isabella Lovestory, neon green heroine
Friday kicks off with the raw energy of Isabella Lovestory. Born in Honduras, she propels her turbocharged reggaeton into a proudly trashy-pop aesthetic. Mini skirt, metallic bikini, neon wig, everything is dialed up to dazzle.
The Fashion Freak (the title of one of her tracks) also stands out for her bold style choices. She’s often seen in pieces by Sophia Khaled, a Danish brand known for its sculpted knits. It’s a cyber-Latin reinvention of the 2000s, where Britney, J.Lo and Christina Aguilera merge into one neon-clad diva.
Theodora, nouvelle boss lady
Lili put her on the map in 2023, but it’s with Bad Boy Lovestory and its reissue Mega BBL featuring JUL and Juliette Armanet that Theodora truly broke through. A rising figure on the French scene, she delivers a musical and visual aesthetic that’s as hybrid as it is refined.
When it comes to style, she relies on Johan, aka @helvetico.thin.bold stylist to Doechii and Ice Spice. Theodora loves to combine genres, mixing emerging labels like Monique Frei and LARUICCI with leading names like Coperni, Jacquemus (her first runway show), and Acne Studios. The result? A cohesive, confident, and strikingly contemporary image.
She’ll be performing this Saturday, June 7. Not to be missed.
Yseult, a modern-day diva
Yseult will be opening the festival this Friday. Riding high on the critical and popular success of Mental and Alibi and with nearly 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify. The French singer has become one of the most influential voices on the Francophone scene.
Her sense of style is just as powerful. A muse and regular guest of Dior, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, and Givenchy, Yseult commands a dramatic and majestic aesthetic, both on stage and in public appearances. She exudes the presence of a modern-day tragedienne, magnetic, unapologetic, and deeply sincere.
And for those still unsure about what look to rock between showers, no worries, we’ve already put together the perfect guide for you. Because while the stage may be muddy, these five icons remind us that fashion and music are always perfect matches, especially when it comes to shining in the rain.
Whether you’re into oversized trench coats, stylish rubber boots, or full-on waterproof looks, these five trailblazers prove that style doesn’t take a rain check.
