Starting with a bang this weekend is the 2023 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, one of the biggest arts and music festivals in the US. For fashion aficionados such as ourselves, the outfits worn by the biggest celebrities, influencers, musicians, and more are why we tune in year after year.
Whether it’s festival queen Vanessa Hudgens channeling hippie caszh in a ruffled crop top, denim short shorts, and a long bolero jacket (oh how we miss 2012), barefoot of course, or a more elevated yet bohemian lace dress worn by Y2K princess Paris Hilton, we’ve seen plenty of inspiration in the blasé yet chic approach attendants of the weekend have towards festival-dressing.
Among a sea of glitter and lace, some of our fave rule-breakers stood out in the most comfortable and effortless fits. Here are the best anti-Coachella outfits.
Zoey Deutch
Serving ~Y2K casual~ in the best way possible was the Not Okay actress in a baby blue tee and a black denim skirt that she paired with white sneakers and a cap to beat the heat. Call us “de-influenced” but we love this new era of dressing up for the sake of dressing up without following a trend!

Kendall Jenner
Arriving in style with her new beau Bad Bunny (with whom she indulged in some good old-fashioned Coachella PDA later) was the supermodel who donned a plain white tee that she paired with black trousers, a shoulder bag, and boots.

The Weeknd and Simi Khadra
Rocking calf-high boots, a bodycon dress with a jacket, with the grooviest shades was Simi Khadra, attending the music festival with her boyfriend The Weeknd, who served anti-Coachella realness in a camo jacket and beige pants.

Kylie Jenner
We thought she’d make the news for reasons other than this (her first public appearance with her rumoured new boyfriend Timothée Chalamet, obvi) but how could we not mention Kylie’s low-key fit featuring a white jacket and a calf-length midi denim skirt that she wore with white sneakers and white shades as she enjoyed the music with friend Fai Khadra.

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello
Captured packing on the PDA at Coachella was on-again-off-again musician couple Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello who turned up the heat in their all-beige + denim ensembles.

Looking cozy and chic on day 2 of the festival was forever style inspiration Emma Chamberlain who donned a white full-sleeved shirt with shorts and a beige gilet, and a pair of trainers to pull the look together.

BLACKPINK’s Lisa
Strutting in an all-black baggy fit featuring a bomber jacket and wide cargo trousers and keeping it as minimal as possible, was Lisa from BLACKPINK ahead of the band’s first-ever Coachella performance as headliners.
