Every music festival has its own fashion identity: Glastonbury claims the gumboot-clad rocker, Ultra’s EDM festival boasts a neon wonderland of rave-core dressing, and Coachella is synonymous with boho.
However, as Coachella content rolled out over the weekend from the Indio Desert in California, it was evident that the beloved musical festival had a rebrand. Gone are the days of crochet knits, denim cutoffs, and tie-dye T-shirts as the festival ushers in a new era of understated style. Think simple sundresses, a great pair of jeans, and a leather jacket that could easily transition from desert to everyday wear.
This new era has been a long time coming. In 2014, the conversation around the cultural appropriation of festival fashion — kimonos, bindis as makeup, and Native American feather headdresses — came into the foreground, causing a seismic chic in the music festival dress code.
When Coachella returned in 2022, following a Covid hiatus, supermodels of the moment, Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid, declared the former archetype of festival fashion officially dead. In her place, a cooler, more understated younger sister was born.
As weekend one kicked off on Friday, it was clear that celebrities were continuing to stand by the minimal dress code. Singer Lorde made a guest appearance during Charli XCX’s sunset set wearing jeans and a simple black T-shirt, while a star-studded crowd brought effortless fashion to the barricade.
Girl of the moment, Tate McRae opted for simple black shorts and an oversized leather bomber jacket, Kylie Jenner wore a plain white Tee and jeans with boyfriend Timothée Chalamet in tow, and Hailey Beiber sported the perfect LBD.
But for those hankering for the spectacle of over-the-top festival fits, the headliners did not disappoint. On Friday, Lady Gaga brought gothic glamour to the main stage and revived some of her most iconic fashion moments, including her infamous lace white crown from her “Bad Romance” music video.
Meanwhile, Jennie of Black Pink, who did her first solo show, brought tech dressing to another level with an ethereal LED ensemble. On Sunday, South African singer Tyla marked her first Coachella performance with vintage Y2K style.
