Best Venue for Fashion: Red Bull Mirage
Red Bull made a splash with its debut at Coachella, introducing the Mirage—an expansive 20,000-square-foot venue that became the hot spot for festival-goers. This multilevel space offered a vibrant atmosphere while guests enjoyed performances on the Quasar stage featuring Tiësto, Odd Mob, and others.
Fashion stole the show, however. On day one, Charli D’Amelio turned heads in an all-black lace and fringe set that highlighted her midriff, along with playful braids. Cardi B made an entrance on day two in her striking all-black ensemble, featuring lace-up leather pants and a classic black tee, with her hair styled down and parted in the middle.

Worst Place to Worry About Applying SPF: Julia Fox’s Exposed Butt
Always a showstopper, Julia Fox brought her most eye-catching accessory to the desert: her bare backside. The actress turned heads at the festival and several parties, wearing a cream-colored corset and a brown leather mini cape that left her backside exposed as she posed for photos.
Best Fashion Theatrics: Lady Gaga (of Course)
Lady Gaga graced the Coachella stage with her spectacular presence. Her nearly two-hour performance featured multiple costume changes, including a dramatic white gown adorned with large feathers and a sleek black dress with a sheer lace veil.
Best Glow: Charli xcx
Charli xcx achieved her radiant Coachella glow with the help of Dermalogica skincare, courtesy of makeup artist Yasmin Istanbouli. Her soft, smoky glamour complemented her strikingly girlish look, featuring a delicate pink-and-white tank top paired with a brown skirt.
Worst Dressed for the Desert Heat: Troye Sivan’s Long Sleeves and Jeans
Troye Sivan seemed unfazed by the scorching 100-degree weather in the Coachella Valley. The singer and actor sported a long-sleeve T-shirt, baggy jeans, and boots, a choice likely to induce discomfort in the heat. In contrast, Timothée Chalamet showcased a more suitable festival outfit featuring loose garments, a backpack, a hat, and sunglasses.
Most Snooze-Worthy Fashion: John Mayer and Post Malone
While these looks reflect their signature styles, one might hope for more from John Mayer and Post Malone at Coachella. The celebrated event, known for its star-studded lineup and fashion focus, saw both artists opting for understated outfits of jeans and T-shirts.
Strongest Case for the Return of Cat Eye Liner: Clairo’s Stage Glam
Clairo captured the audience’s attention in a partially sheer, patchwork ensemble, but the highlight of her look was undeniably her soft yet glamorous makeup that featured a striking cat eye liner. Is this makeup trend set for a comeback in 2025?
Best Hairstyle: Becky G’s Slicked-Back Look
For her surprise performance at Coachella, Becky G complemented her flowing white two-piece ensemble with a sleek hairstyle crafted by hairstylist Glen “Coco” Oropeza, who utilized the new Garnier Fructis Sleek & Stay to combat the desert conditions. The singer accessorized her look with Kendra Scott’s Kaia Gold Hoops, Kaia Gold Cuff Bracelet, and Kaia Gold Band Ring.
Most Unique Bikini: Lola Young
While not the most practical option for a day at the beach, Lola Young’s fur-covered bikini top and coordinating hat certainly made a statement on the Coachella stage. She delivered a memorable performance of her hit song “Messy” while dressed in a distinctive olive green outfit, complete with low-waisted pants and wrist cuffs.
