Festivalgoers and fashion enthusiasts are counting down the days until the world’s most notable songstresses, DJs, performers, and artists descend on Southern California's Colorado Desert to play at the world’s most notable festival - Coachella.
As per usual the lineup for this year's festival is more than impressive with the likes of Lana Del Rey, Tyler the Creator, Doja Cat and Mean Girls’ (the reboot) very own Regina George, Reneé Rapp.
Aside from the stellar lineup, Coachella is a fashion spectacle to behold in its own right, described by many as a breeding ground for new trends, reinvented styles and innovative festival must-haves.

Nestled within the legendary grounds of the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, Coachella reigns supreme among the fashion crowd, sharing the limelight with Burning Man and Glastonbury for one of the most fashionable festivals in the world.
What is the fashion like at Coachella?
As Coachella unfolds, festival fashion frenzy reaches its peak. Year after year celebrities and influencers grace the lush fields, showcasing their style amidst the pulsating beats. Last year, tastemakers like Alessandra Ambrosio and Irina Shayk mingled with music icons such as Billie Eilish and Blackpink, setting trends ablaze. In 2023 some of the stand out trends were Y2K, Cowgirl-core, and Boho-chic. Here individuality reigns, and self-expression through eclectic ensembles is encouraged.
What is the Coachella dress code?
The world renowned Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, is celebrated not just for its A-list lineup but also for its star-studded festival fashion scene. While there's no 'set' dress code, attendees embrace comfortable threads that complement the desert setting and the event's bohemian vibe. Think Woodstock and Daisy Jones & The Six, with breezy dresses, playful crop tops, denim shorts, and flowing fabrics. The accessory game is strong with music fans embracing body jewellery, statement bucket hats, retro sunglasses and shoes that are both stylish and practical. In the last few years Miu Miu biker boots and classic cowboy boots have become Coachella staples.
