Never Stress About Festival Outfits Again: Meet Your Personal Rave Stylist
We've all been there—scrolling through pages of rave outfits at 2am, trying to piece together the perfect look for an upcoming festival. Many ravers, including myself, put a lot of thought and spend countless hours finding the right pieces to create that unforgettable outfit. But sometimes life gets in the way. Maybe you're juggling work, school, or just don't have the bandwidth to DIY your festival look. Or perhaps fashion just isn't your strong suit, and you'd rather spend your energy perfecting your flow arts or memorizing set times.
This is exactly where Styled By Glitz comes in—a game-changing festival styling service that takes the stress out of outfit planning while helping you express your truest rave self.
Meet Ricky: The Stylist Behind the Glitz
Styled by Glitz is the brainchild of Ricky Barnett, a festival fashion expert who understands rave culture from the inside out. Her personal Instagram is @rickyyyraptor, and she's constantly posting incredible outfit inspiration and festival content—definitely worth a follow if you're looking for fresh ideas.
I met Ricky when she was working at Freedom Rave Wear with me, and what immediately stood out was how much of her vibrant personality shines through every outfit she creates. Whether it's her everyday street style or her festival looks, Ricky has an uncanny ability to translate someone's energy into a visual statement.
When a Stylist Saves the Day
I've personally experienced the magic of being styled by Ricky. On Groove Cruise, my luggage didn't make it to our room while everyone else already had theirs. In a moment of pre-party panic, Ricky swooped in and put together an outfit for me from what we had available. When my luggage finally showed up right before we were about to leave, I realized something: I actually liked the outfit she created better than what I had originally planned to wear. That's the power of having a trained eye and someone who understands how to make pieces work together in unexpected ways.

Rave Bae Package
Want to coordinate with your significant other without looking too matchy-matchy? Ricky offers a special Rave Bae package for couples rave outfits that complement each other perfectly. Pricing and package details are customized based on your specific needs and vision—just reach out to discuss options.
Hair & Makeup Add-On
If you're local to the Scottsdale, AZ area, Ricky also offers professional hair and makeup services to complete your transformation. Imagine rolling up to the festival with not just a killer outfit, but also braids, glitter roots, or whatever beauty look matches your vibe.
Payment Options: Ricky accepts Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, or cash—whatever works best for you.
The Styling Process: How It Works
One of the best things about working with Styled by Glitz is how personalized the experience is. Ricky doesn't do cookie-cutter festival looks—she creates outfits that feel authentically YOU.
Getting to Know You
The styling process can happen in-person if you're local, or completely remotely through phone calls, texts, emails, or FaceTime. Ricky will ask thoughtful questions to understand your style, comfort level, and vision, such as:
- What are your favorite colors to wear? (Are you drawn to pastels, neons, earth tones, or dark rave vibes?)
- Which event are you attending? (EDC? Coachella? A local underground? Different venues call for different energy.)
- Are there any items you're uncomfortable wearing or would like to avoid? (Maybe crop tops aren't your thing, or you prefer rave bottoms with more coverage.)
- Is there a theme? (Many festivals have themed nights—knowing this helps create a cohesive look.)
- What are your sizes and measurements? (Accurate sizing ensures everything fits perfectly.)
- What is your spirit animal? (This might seem random, but it's brilliant—your spirit animal can inspire color palettes, textures, and overall vibe.)
- Do you have a price range? (Honesty about budget helps Ricky source the best pieces within your means.)
- What is your favorite genre of EDM? (House heads dress differently than bassheads—your music taste absolutely influences your style.)
Approval Before Purchase
Here's something crucial: Ricky will never purchase anything without your approval first. She'll present you with options, explain her vision for how pieces work together, and make sure you're 100% excited about every item. This collaborative approach means you won't end up with anything you don't absolutely love.
Why Hire a Festival Stylist?
You might be wondering if a styling service is worth it. Here's the thing: festival fashion has evolved into an art form. The outfits you see on Instagram that make you think "how did they even put that together?" usually come from hours of shopping, returns, DIY modifications, and styling experience.
A professional stylist like Ricky brings:
- Insider knowledge: She knows which brands run small, which materials hold up in desert heat, and where to find unique pieces you won't see on everyone else.
- Time savings: Instead of spending 10+ hours shopping and second-guessing yourself, you get a curated outfit delivered to you.
- Confidence: There's something powerful about knowing a professional designed your look. You'll walk into that festival with your head high.
- Fresh perspective: Ricky might suggest combinations you'd never think of—and that's exactly the point.
