The most outrageous fashion spotted at Burning Man 2016

Some 70,000 people ventured to Nevada's Black Rock Desert for this year's Burning Man festival, which ended September 5.

And they certainly did it in style.

Burning Man fashion often looks like characters from "Mad Max" meet those from "Star Wars." Many Burners this year sported things like rainbow goggles, neon shorts, and unicorn horns — that is, if they didn't go naked.

Here are a few of the most outlandish outfits spotted at Burning Man 2016.

Model Cara Delevingne came with a rainbow fur coat.

Some who weren't covered in fur opted for bejeweled jackets instead.

This woman donned a flower crown with a skull attached.

At night, the playa lit up with Burners' glow-in-the-dark and LED-decorated garb.
