Copping Stevie’s Style at the Fleetwood Mac Concert
Photo: Amy Lombard
“Our angel, our poet,” Mick Fleetwood said Saturday night at Jones Beach when introducing Stevie Nicks during a stop on the band’s current tour. The crowd mirrored that devotion for rock’s fairy godmother in their enthusiastic screaming fandom and in their style: They wore flowers in their hair, crescents around their necks, and whatever would allow them to spin and sway with ease. (Nicks herself was dressed similarly, as usual, and even dedicated “Landslide” to New York’s Jada Yuan.) The Cut sent photographer Amy Lombard and reporter Katie Van Syckle to Jones Beach to meet the adoring fans who came in their flowy dresses, bell sleeves, fringed jackets, white lace, and shawls, of course. Click ahead and enjoy.

Diane Moody What were you thinking when you got dressed tonight? I wasn’t. This is how I dress. Have you been a Fleetwood Mac fan for a while? Oh yeah. Have you ever taken any style ideas from Stevie Nicks or Fleetwood Mac? No, but I’ve been told it’s there. I try to just do my own thing. I think it’s a little bit of everything.

Teddi Cranford Where did you get your dress? About six years ago. I have a friend that works at Bally, and I’ve always been obsessed with Stevie Nicks and her style and the dress came out to his store and I bought it underground at his sample sale. The only other time I’ve worn it was four years ago to that Night of a Thousand Stevies. What aspects of her style have you adopted? I like that whole really flowy, long, witchy thing.

Carolyn Bielfeldt What were you thinking when you got dressed? I was thinking Stevie Nicks classics, white lace, denim, sixties. Why do you think she inspires such love and loyalty? She’s a strong, obviously smart woman, who owned it from the very beginning. It’s important for women in the music world and beyond.

Diane Seeley How did you start making the hats? Every time she comes around I make a wreath for that particular tour. And I’ve been following her since Buckingham Nicks, before she was even with Fleetwood Mac. Have you stolen any style habits from Stevie over the years? Oh yeah, love the chiffon. The beads and the chains and all that stuff she does. What does the note say? You know what I don’t really remember because I wrote it after the last concert. I think I just pretty much said I’ve been a fan of yours forever and I named my daughter after you.

Diane Orofino What were you thinking about when you got dressed for the show tonight? This was what we wore back in the day. You’ve got your beads, rings, jewelry ... This is what I do. I don’t really think about it, I just kind of throw stuff together. When I go to rock concerts I wear black. We went to a hippie concert a couple of years ago and I was all hippied out.

Barbara Rich How did you decide what you were going to wear tonight? Well I have my Stevie jewelry and something flowy. Something breezy. Have you been to a show before? I think this is my 54th show. But that’s counting Fleetwood Mac and Stevie tours, the furthest was Vegas.

Bonnie Farello You were saying that you have a Stevie Nicks versus Fleetwood Mac thing going on here? Yeah, I just think my flowy black top, my gypsy look and my pants are a little more retro. A little more boho chic. How did you pick out your outfit? Comfortable, danceable.

Lauri Vanucci How did you pick out your outfit tonight? I always try to reflect what the band is. Like when Pat Benetar was here I had black spandex pants on and a red, black, shiny thing that she would have worn. This is kind of Stevie, the fringe and the long sleeves and the black. Have you taken any style from Stevie over the years? Yeah, I like her look. Actually when I was younger, I kind of looked like her.

Diane McGuirk How did you pick out your outfit today? These were clean. I wear tie-dyes a lot on the weekend. I really don’t take time to look at my outfit at all. It takes me 30 seconds to do my hair, another 30 seconds to do my makeup, I get dressed in another 30 more and I go.

Kathy Kovar When did you get this shirt? 2009 at the Unleashed tour at Madison Square Garden. How long a have you been a fan? Well forever, but I didn’t start going to concerts until this tour, because I just wasn’t a concert-goer.
