Coachella 2025 just wrapped up. And if you were expecting flower crowns and fringe vests, think again. This year flipped the script. Fashion took a sharp turn from the boho staples of the past. Think less fairy festival, more off-duty model meets high-concept runway.

The vibe was more low-key cool than a costume party. Even Vanessa Hudgens, once Coachella’s unofficial queen of boho, traded in her earthy layers for something far more muted.

A-Listers Played It Chill

Coachella 2025 showed us something new: Celebrities ditching the spotlight and blending into the crowd. Stars like Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner, and the Biebers went incognito. But don’t mistake “chill” for boring. The looks were still polished, just subtler than years past.

This was fashion that whispered confidence. It was not about grabbing attention. It was about owning a personal style. That is part of why this year felt different. No one was dressing for Instagram. They were dressing for themselves.

Gaga’s ‘Fashion’ Chaos was Iconic

Lady Gaga didn’t just headline, she took over. Fans dubbed it “Gagachella,” and honestly, it was fair. Her wardrobe was a wild ride. One minute, she was in a feathery custom piece from Fecal Matter, and the next, she looked like a circus illusionist with a joker-style headpiece.

Fashion Gal / IG / Gaga’s set lasted nearly two hours and had enough outfit changes to fill a small boutique. She gave us drama, fantasy, and pure performance art.

It was everything you hoped for when a true icon hits the stage.

Blackpink’s Solo Stars Brought the Heat

Lisa came ready. Ditching pop princess looks, she wore custom reptile-inspired bodysuits by designer Asher Levine. The suits were slick, fierce, and a total crowd-pleaser. You could feel the energy shift the second she stepped on stage.

Jennie, on the other hand, leaned hard into a desert cowgirl aesthetic. Think tiny vinyl shorts, cowboy hats, and confident swagger. It was playful, sexy, and just weird enough to feel high fashion. Both looks killed, just in totally different ways.

Micro Shorts Were Basically a Dress Code

If there was one trend that owned Coachella 2025, it was tiny bottoms. Performers like Tyla, Megan Thee Stallion, Glorilla, and Victoria Monét all went the micro-short route. We are talking shorts so small, they were basically belts with confidence.

Rapper GloRilla, 25, took things even further. She paired her ultra-minis with fishnets that went all the way up to her chest.

You bet! It was not just a look. It was a statement that said: “I wear what I want, and I’m gonna crush this stage doing it.”

Statement Headgear Took Over

Michelle Zauner from Japanese Breakfast rocked a massive ruffled headpiece by milliner Heather Huey. It was soft, sculptural, and completely unforgettable. Meanwhile, Marina matched her glittery pink headscarf to a full sequined outfit by Deniz Blumenstein.

Headwear was a theme. From cowboy hats to couture-level headpieces, it helped performers stand out. It was also a clever way to beat the desert sun while looking runway-ready. Win-win.

The Guys Stepped Up Big

Boyband Enhypen showed up in custom streetwear from “Who Decides War,” giving coordinated but edgy vibes. T-Pain brought steampunk to the sand with gears and goggles in full effect. It was bold and kind of brilliant.

Coachella / IG / Fashion at Coachella 2025 wasn’t just about personal style. It sparked conversations, claps, and in some cases, clapbacks.

Even Senator Bernie Sanders made an unexpected splash. No wild outfit — just his classic navy blazer and pale blue shirt. But there he was, giving a speech on stage before Clairo’s set. In a sea of rhinestones and latex, his look somehow stood out the most.

Fashion That Sparked a Reaction

Not every look landed smoothly. Egyptian singer Mohamed Ramadan wore a pharaonic outfit during the first weekend, meant to honor his roots. But the reaction back home wasn’t great. Many felt it missed the mark.

For weekend two, he switched to a regal jacket and silver crown, a course correction that still had flair.

K-Pop group XG looked totally transformed thanks to green-tinted makeup and pink highlights that gave alien-chic energy. Their look was weird in the best way.
