Celebs and Influencers at Coachella truly owned the desert this year, and we are absolutely living for all the representation and pure talent on display! From the high fashion moments in the VIP tents to the legendary surprise guests on the main stage, the energy was just on another level. It is so beautiful to see our favorite stars not just attending but completely dominating the festival culture, proving once again that they are the blueprint for everything cool. Whether they were rocking custom designer sets or keeping it effortless in vintage streetwear, the vibe was strictly unapologetic excellence.

Can we talk about the performances for a second because our hearts still haven’t recovered! Seeing Swae Lee and Jhene Aiko bring those “Sativa” vibes to the stage was a literal dream, and their chemistry was just as ethereal as we imagined. Then, the energy completely shifted when Sexyy Red hit the stage and brought out the one and only Lizzo for a moment that basically broke the internet. They looked like they were having the absolute time of their lives, and seeing that kind of genuine sisterhood on such a massive stage was everything.

The soulful side of the festival was just as heavy, with Giveon and Kehlani delivering performances that had everyone in their feelings in the best way possible. Their voices together are like pure velvet, and they brought a level of sophistication and raw emotion to the desert that felt so intimate despite the massive crowds. We also saw so many of our favorite lifestyle girlies like Winnie Harlow and Tems serving looks that defined “festival chic”. From Tems’ effortless oversized button down look to Winnie’s stunning tan mini dress and boots, the fashion was a masterclass in how to do Coachella right.
