KATE MOSS swapped wellness crystals for cans of lager at the weekend as she partied among revellers at BST Hyde Park Festival.
In scenes reminiscent of her hedonistic Nineties antics, the supermodel, 51, knocked back the booze and enjoyed music by big names including Van Morrison and Neil Young.

Onlookers said she appears to be back on the party circuit.
“Kate was having it large at Hyde Park and was knocking back cans of Peroni,” one told me.
“She was hanging out in Van Morrison’s private backstage area, before watching him from the side of the stage — before she went back to the bar for another drink.
“When she watched Neil Young, she flitted between the audience and the suites to keep the beers flowing.
“Kate sank a fair few drinks with her friends and quietly slipped away before Neil finished his set.
“The whole time she was laughing and giggling.
“Kate was quite literally the life and soul of the party. And there wasn’t a crystal in sight.”
This isn’t the first time fans have seen glimmers of the old Kate in action.
Last month, festivalgoers at Glastonbury claimed they saw her partying on Worthy Farm.
One told me: “People keep saying they’ve seen Kate, but she’s flying so under the radar no one can get a clear sighting of her.
‘Wants to have fun’
“It’s like old times when she’d been partying hard at Glastonbury until sunrise and everyone was looking out for her.
“There was a rumour going around that she was spotted in one of the VIP areas in Block 9 wearing a veil, but no one could say for sure it was her.”
My insiders tell me that Kate was, indeed at Glastonbury, but that she shunned on-site camping for a more comfortable stay at the nearby private members’ club, Babington House.
“Kate wasn’t up until late afternoon and would head over to Worthy Farm around 9pm,” one source explained.
“She stayed at Babington to stay away from the crowds, but she went to Glasto and had a riot.
“Lila, Kate’s daughter, was there, too. They had a lot of fun.”
Fans who have stuck with the supermodel since she found fame as a teenager are, naturally, concerned.
The photographs of her partying with beers at BST came just weeks after the collapse of her wellness empire Cosmoss, which would be a bitter pill for her to swallow.
Just days before Glastonbury began, Kate’s company called in liquidators.
In total, it owes unsecured creditors £2,939,729.
And papers signed by the supermodel revealed that Cosmoss has little more than £5,000 in the bank, with £241,000 of leftover stock.
Kate launched the brand in 2022 after the lockdown put paid to her partying.
Back in 2020, one of her closest pals, DJ Fat Tony, said she had been sober for two years.
And as she launched Cosmoss, Kate unveiled a rebranded version of herself to fans.
She said at the time: “I had time on my hands. I wanted to create something that would help me feel more grounded, something I could share.
“Cosmoss was literally blended at my kitchen table.” The range — which is no longer available to order — included teas, a face oil and a “sacred mist” which is said to “provide a sense of inner peace”.

In the interviews that followed to promote her products, Kate gave an insight into her clean new world and said she had started bathing in the moonlight to cleanse herself.
She revealed: “I like to start my day with tea and meditation, followed by some Pilates or yoga.”
Highlighting her love of wellness crystals, she added: “I put them out in the garden overnight when it’s a full moon to cleanse them. I really believe in their power, and believe in the mystical and spiritual side of wellness.”
Cracks in Kate’s wellness journey began to show in 2023, when she stepped back into the spotlight and was out partying more.
She was seen holding hands with the singer Skip Marley – grandson of reggae legend Bob – during a party in Turkey in May last year.
‘Back out there’
That was before being filmed falling out of a taxi during Lila’s 22th birthday celebrations in Paris in October.
It was Kate’s return to her party lifestyle, pals claim, that influenced the break-up with her teetotal boyfriend of nine years, British photographer Nikolai Von Bismarck.
In December, friends told this newspaper that the pair were going on “different journeys”. One pal revealed: “Kate feels fabulous and she wants to get back out there and have some fun.”
And they weren’t kidding. For her 51st birthday celebrations in January, a month after the split with Nikolai, Kate partied at three different venues across London.
The revelry was in stark contrast to her more demure 50th, when she held a low-key bash in Paris for a tight-knit group of friends.
But this year, Kate hired out a suite in the Dorchester in Park Lane, before throwing a dinner at the hotel’s luxury restaurant, China Tang.
She was joined by celebrity including Nineties party pal Stella McCartney and Jade Jagger.

Kate then headed to The Globe in Notting Hill, West London, with her group, where they partied until the early hours of the morning.
While many fans and followers welcomed the old Kate back with open arms, others were concerned about her behaviour.
Even more so after a bizarre video of her at Paris Fashion Week this March went viral.

‘Prime of her life’
In the clip, from Isabel Marant’s show, Kate was seen acting erratically and jerking from side to side.
One fan said on social media: “Why is she so fidgety? This just makes me anxious.”
Another added: “Why is nobody talking about this? I feel sad every time I see this.”
Meanwhile, on TikTok, another worried fan wrote: “Why did they post this? Kate is seemingly not OK.” Less than a week after the video, Kate was photographed holding a bottle of Corona beer and puffing away on a cigarette as she walked through central London.

It is a stark contrast to the clean-living wellness guru of two years ago.
Friends close to Kate insist there is nothing for people to worry about.
“Kate’s a woman in the prime of her life and she wants to have fun,” one told me.
“She hangs out with Lila a lot, too, and thinks of herself as a ‘cool mum’ who can keep up with the young ones.
“People are shocked because it’s not the Kate they’ve seen for a while, but she likes a few drinks and she smokes like a chimney — albeit she’s using vapes now because they’re ‘healthier’. She’s always the one to get a party started and wants to get back out there and enjoy life.
“The people speculating about her on social media need to stop worrying so much.
“Kate has just come back from Ibiza with Lila and she had a great time at BST.
“She’ll focus on closing down Cosmoss, then will be looking for her next venture. “Kate isn’t a woman who can be kept down for long.”
