Technically Coachella is supposed to be about the music, but we all know that hasn’t necessarily been true for quite some time. These days, the photo opportunities, the brand-sponsored parties, and, above all, the looks can overshadow the actual performances. From the onstage performers to those just wandering the grounds, every day of the festival is an opportunity to turn out a look. And while bohemian style used to takeover the Coachella Valley during the two weekends in April, this year there were way more low-key, denim-forward looks than long lace maxi skirts (though those did appear as well). Of course, the performers on stage did still very much bring the drama in the form of bright, bedazzled, often custom looks. The differing choices between attendees and artists made for quite the range of aesthetics across the festival grounds, and we’re breaking down every look from the two weekends, because even though Coachella is over, the summer fashion inspiration provided should not be missed.

Zendaya surprised everyone when she joined Labrinth onstage during his set to perform live for the first time in six years. For the big comeback, the actress wore a pink ruffled Roberto Cavalli 2004 minidress she got from Aralda Vintage, which she paired with black lace-up, over-the-knee stiletto boots from Christian Louboutin.

The group stuck with the light pink theme they started last weekend and arrived to their second headlining performance in matching looks in the same color courtesy of Mugler. Each girl later changed into individual outfits to perform some solo songs, with Jennie wearing Alessandra Rich, Jisoo in Aadnevik spring 2022, and Rosé in Paco Rabanne. Later, they reunited onstage in coordinating white, silver, and black ensembles courtesy of David Koma and Mugler.

Blackpink wasn’t the only headlining act to wear custom Mugler. Bad Bunny also donned two looks from Casey Cadwallader for weekend two. The first was a corseted sweatshirt with matching pants, while the second was a Canadian tuxedo, which showed off Cadwallader’s classic denim design featuring sheer panels.

Rosalía

For the second weekend in a row, Rosalía wore custom Acne Studios, trading out her ruffled pink cardigan for the same one in black.

Jodie Turner-Smith

Backgrid

When Turner-Smith attends Coachella, she does so in style. The actress made an appearance during weekend two wearing a long, flowing Versace dress over hot pink cutout jeans, with an added feather boa to bring a bit more drama.

Charli XCX

Weekend two called for a complete custom Valentino look for Charli and her dancers. The singer took the stage in a black, sequin-covered bra, tie, and pants, which she wore with a cropped white button-down. The glasses, meanwhile, were courtesy of Hellcat eyewear.

The model embraced quiet luxury this year at Coachella, promoting her tequila brand in a look from Australian brand St. Agni, featuring low-rise black pants with a raw waist edge and a backless black tank top.

Hailey Bieber

Like Jenner, Bieber also embraced a simpler look for Coachella this year, wearing a cropped white Éterne tank top and oversize Acne Studios jeans held up by a Streets Ahead belt. A Jacquie Aiche body chain, Gucci sunglasses, and Aupen shoulder bag completed the look.

Kylie Jenner

The younger Jenner kept a low profile at Coachella, but she did share her look on Instagram—a custom one from Courrèges featuring a white leather moto jacket, wet-looking cropped top, and jean skirt, inspired by a look from the brand’s spring/summer 2023 collection.

Rosalía

Rosalía wore a custom Acne Studios look for her performance at Coachella, which featured a long, baby pink ruffled cardigan. The piece is just one of 128 looks Acne created for Rosalía’s tour, all of which were inspired by the brand’s recent fall/winter and spring/summer collections, but with an added Motomami flair.
