The Best, Worst and Most Oops Moments of Coachella — from Julia Fox’s Rear to Timothée Chalamet’s Scorching ‘Fit

Check out the most head-turning celebrity Coachella outfits — including Cardi B at the Red Bull Mirage and Benson Boone’s glam stage look

Coachella 2025 fashion is hotter than hot!

Performers and guests alike are hitting Southern California once again for the annual music festival, which is taking place over two weekends: April 11 to 13, and April 18 to 20. Weekend one is already one for the record books, with headliner Lady Gaga taking her dramatic stage aesthetic to new heights with several jaw-dropping costume changes.

Other performers like Charli xcx, Benson Boone, Tyla and Blackpink’s Lisa and Jennie took the stage in their best desert-chic looks, from custom designer duds to Y2K-inspired style.

There was no shortage of shock value, with some Coachella looks being more polarizing than anything. From Julia Fox’s exposed butt to Troye Sivan’s climate-defying ensemble, here are the Coachella style moments that are most likely to make it to the group chat — for better or for worse.

Benson Boone’s backflips weren’t the only thing catching the audience’s attention. The 22-year-old singer took the Coachella stage in two custom looks by Dolce & Gabbana, one of which was decked out in Swarovski crystals.

His opening ensemble consisted of a custom cotton gabardine sleeveless jacket and wide leg trousers accented with gold buckle details and buttons. The star accessorized with a leather belt with a gold Devotion Heart buckle.

Boone then changed into a custom printed lurex long sleeve bodysuit with flared pants completely adorned with Swarovski crystals and a custom velvet regal cape with train trimmed in faux fur and bijoux jewelry. He added a leather belt with silver hardware.

Best Venue for Fashion: Red Bull Mirage

Red Bull made its big Coachella debut with the Mirage, a 20,000-square-foot structure that was the place to see and be seen during the festival. The multilevel party spot hosted festival goers while they took in sets on the Quasar stage by Tiësto, Odd Mob and more.

But it was truly the fashion that couldn’t be missed. Charli D’Amelio rocked an all-black lace and fringe set on day one, baring her midriff and showing off cute braids. Cardi B made an appearance on day two in an all-black look of her own, rocking lace-up leather pants and a black tee. She wore her black hair down and in a middle part.

The Y2K fashion resurgence is going strong. Queen Latifah joined Megan Thee Stallion on stage in a simple black outfit, but turned up the heat with a ’90s-inspired hairstyle and accessories. Tyla, meanwhile, opted for an itty-bitty vintage Dolce & Gabbana look from 2000 and an array of Pandora jewelry, including hoop earrings decked out in her favorite shark tooth charm (the “Water” singer was named the brand’s new ambassador before her performance). “It was just really fun to wear that outfit,” said Tyla of her stage look while speaking with PEOPLE after her sexy debut.

Troye Sivan wasn’t sweating the 100 degree weather in the Coachella Valley. The singer and actor attended the festival in a long-sleeve T-shirt, baggy jeans and boots, which surely caused some discomfort in the intense desert heat. Contrast this look with that of Timothée Chalamet, who took in the festival in a sensible ensemble of loose clothing, a backpack, hat and sunglasses.

These looks might be consistent with their signature styles, but wouldn’t one expect a little more from John Mayer and Post Malone at Coachella? The annual event is not only star-studded but fashion-focused, however, these two each opted for a simple ensemble of jeans and a T-shirt.
