The much-anticipated Coachella 2025 festival has once again graced Southern California with its presence, bringing together a mix of performers and guests in their most daring and stylish outfits. Lady Gaga stole the show during the first weekend with her dramatic stage presence and multiple costume changes, while other artists like Charli xcx, Benson Boone, Tyla, and Blackpink’s Lisa and Jennie showcased their unique desert-chic looks, ranging from custom designer ensembles to Y2K-inspired fashion choices.

Benson Boone, the 22-year-old singer, wowed the audience not only with his backflips but also with his custom Dolce & Gabbana outfits adorned with Swarovski crystals. Jennie from Blackpink put a twist on the cowgirl aesthetic with a crimson crocodile-embossed jacket and matching bra top, paired with tan thigh-high boots and a cowgirl hat. Meanwhile, Julia Fox made a bold statement with her exposed butt, donning a cream-colored corset and brown leather mini cape at the festival.
As expected, Lady Gaga brought her signature theatrics to Coachella, with striking costume changes that included a dramatic white gown and a slinky black dress. The Y2K fashion trend was also prominent, with Queen Latifah sporting ’90s-inspired accessories and Tyla flaunting a vintage Dolce & Gabbana look from 2000. Charli xcx radiated a glowing look with her Dermalogica skincare regimen, complementing her soft-girl outfit at the event.
On the flip side, Troye Sivan’s choice of long sleeves and jeans in the scorching desert heat raised eyebrows, contrasting with Timothée Chalamet’s more practical festival attire. Other performers like John Mayer and Post Malone opted for simple jeans and T-shirt ensembles, deviating from the fashion-forward statements usually seen at Coachella. Clairo’s stage glam featuring cat eye liner hinted at a potential comeback for the makeup trend in 2025.
Becky G stunned with her slicked-back hairstyle at her surprise performance, showcasing a white two-piece ensemble while Lola Young made a splash with a unique fur-covered bikini top and matching hat. The festival also witnessed a mix of surprise guest appearances, musical performances, and some headline-worthy moments that kept attendees and fans entertained throughout the event.
With Coachella 2025 setting the stage for a blend of music, fashion, and artistry, attendees and fans alike were treated to a visual spectacle of creativity and self-expression. As the festival continues to evolve and push boundaries, it remains a cultural landmark where artists and enthusiasts converge to celebrate music and style in the heart of the California desert.
