We all know that there are lots of ways to become immortalized at a massive outdoor music gathering like Ultra Music Festival. Say, dancing naked while getting arrested. But your momma would probably prefer if you were immortalized among the below ravers shaking their shit at Ultra 2013.

When it's hot outside it's important to create a bit of air by staying in motion.

In terms of fashion, there's something so liberating about going to an event like Ultra Music Festival. Certainly, each year, some looks are more in and some are more out, but overall, there is a lax unity, an agreement, that you can get away with wearing whatever the hell you want. You don't have to attempt to dress like Alexa Chung, you can kandi or bro; you can just you.

Even so, a few fashion statements uniformly trended this year in Miami. Here, the top seven fashion statements of Ultra 2013.

From land sharks to killer whales, pink flamingos to African zebras, UMF 2013 is starting to feel a lot like a World Wildlife Foundation fundraiser, complete with endangered species and cuddly critters.

Attention, ravers: The inflatable chimp won't hurt you! He is your friend. He loves you. He loves everybody. Check out some of our favorite inflatable props at Ultra 2013.

Orca Whale
Like a fish out of water (or in this case a mammal), a killer whale has no business at Ultra. But it's mating season, and these bros are taking full advantage of Shamu's flukes.

If the colorful and magical land of Ultra Music Festival sits at the end of the rainbow, then perhaps the music is the gold, and the ravers? They're leprechauns. At least they were yesterday when the fest coincided with the second most costumey of holidays.

And if you've ever wondered what Saint Patrick's Day looks like at a rave, wonder no more. We've got plenty of photos of the green folks who swarmed downtown Miami. Here are 75 photos of those who channeled the energy of the rainbow and morphed into beat-freaking leprechauns.

When you were getting dressed today, what made you put on the tutus?
It actually takes weeks of preparation. We just wanted to incorporate as many colors that we could find. Pretty much anything goes. We've been going to these things for a while. So the first time we came, we really didn't dress up, until we saw how everyone was dressed. It's just: Express yourself.

Do you feel emasculated in your tutu, or more masculine in it?
The weirder the shit I wear, the more I get hit on. So, no. My footsie pajamas -- it's ridiculous.
