The outfit inspo is endless at the Calgary Stampede<\/a>, with folks hitting the grounds in their best western attire, coolest vintage finds and more. Here\u2019s a look at some of the most eye-catching ensembles we spotted on the 2026 Calgary Stampede grounds.<\/p>\n

The main event of Pitoscia\u2019s outfit is a vest she found at one of Calgary\u2019s coolest vintage shops. \u201cWild Rabbit Vintage<\/a> in East Village is absolutely iconic. I went in there and I literally saw this [vest] hanging, got it and walked right out. It was a must,\u201d says Pitoscia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really wanted a cow print skirt,\u201d says Demsky. \u201cI actually had to order this skirt twice, because when I originally got it shipped from Amazon, they sent me a cheetah print one. Now I own a cheetah print one, which I\u2019ll wear eventually, but I just really wanted a cow print skirt to go with the brown boots.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indra and Al have been attending Stampede together for 25 years. The husband and wife duo\u2019s style reflects a longstanding love for the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been in Calgary for 50 years, so I\u2019ve got lots of Stampede outfits. I like being different,\u201d says Indra.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis shirt is kind of a rodeo shirt. It has sort of a southern, southwestern design to it. I\u2019ve had it for about 10 years. I\u2019ve got a bunch of shirts and this is my favourite,\u201d says Al.<\/p>\n

Senini\u2019s ensemble, which features fun accents like handmade earrings, includes several locally sourced pieces. \u201cThe belt is actually from the Rangeland Derby, where we were a sponsor. I work at Suncor so we sponsored [a chuckwagon] this year,\u201d says Senini.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m kind of known for the cheetah print, a lot of jewellery and a lot of layering,\u201d says Edwards.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy boots I got from Lammle\u2019s, as well as my belt, which is one of my favourite places to shop for country wear,\u201d says Main. \u201cI like a lot of unique patterns as well, like all the lace and polka dots.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former Calgary Stampede Princess Chris Murray is dazzling in a self-made outfit that made its Stampede debut a decade ago. \u201cThe top I made and I wore it 10 years ago in the parade. This year, we\u2019re celebrating the 80th [anniversary of the] Stampede Queens Alumni so I had to make [the outfit] better and I put the sequins down the legs,\u201d says Murray.<\/p>\n

Nurhayati has been coming to Stampede for 20 years and has several coordinated outfits planned for this year\u2019s festivities, including this all-white ensemble.\u201cI love Stampede. I have so many outfits. I love boots \u2014 tall boots, short boots. I got [these boots] from Boot Barn in Houston, Texas. And the dress is from Le Chateau,\u201d says Nurhayati.<\/p>\n

Flack says her outfit is inspired by her \u201ccow obsession\u201d that started years ago. \u201cYou know when you go into Zellers and you pick your kitchen paper towel holder, canisters, napkin holder set? My one friend picked blue geese and my other girlfriend picked roosters. I could have picked the cow or the pig and I picked the cow, and my collection just grew from there,\u201d says Flack on how her appreciation for cows started.<\/p>\n

Casanova picked up her fringe jacket at a booth on the Stampede grounds this same day to complement the rest of her outfit. \u201c[The dress] is from Brazil, that\u2019s where I\u2019m from. The belt came from Brazil too,\u201d says Casanova.<\/p>\n
