According to a CNN report by Rosa Rahimi, the fashion landscape at the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival appears to be evolving, moving away from the bohemian-chic styles that once dominated the event. This shift is exemplified by Vanessa Hudgens, previously known as the "Queen of Coachella" for her signature boho aesthetic, who now seems to favor a more subdued and universally accepted style. The changing fashion trends at Coachella may reflect a broader desire among attendees, including celebrities like Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner, and Justin and Hailey Bieber, to blend in with the crowd rather than stand out.

Despite the prevalence of more understated looks, several high-profile artists and celebrities made bold fashion statements during the festival's first weekend. Lady Gaga, for example, delivered a memorable performance in a custom feathery ensemble by Fecal Matter, complemented by striking bird claw accessories. Blackpink's Lisa also turned heads with a custom reptile suit designed by Asher Levine for her debut solo performance, a departure from her character's wardrobe in "The White Lotus." Jennie, another member of Blackpink, embraced a cowgirl theme, donning a leather Georges Hobeika jacket and custom mini shorts.

Julia Fox further embraced the Wild West aesthetic, pairing heeled cowboy boots and a cropped leather jacket with daring chaps that left little to the imagination. Micro-shorts were a popular choice among performers like Megan Thee Stallion, Ciara, Tyla, and Victoria Monét, who showcased the revealing style during their respective sets. However, perhaps the most unexpected style icon of the weekend was US Senator Bernie Sanders. Known for his unconventional approach, Sanders stood out in his signature navy blazer and light blue button-up shirt—an outfit more commonly seen in a boardroom than at a music festival. Nevertheless, Sanders was present to deliver a speech before Clairo's performance.
