Coachella tends to be our cue that summer is about to hit. The two-weekend festival - running from April 11th–13th and April 18th–20th - isn’t just about music (though with headliners like Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone, and Travis Scott, it definitely delivers). It’s also a springboard for fresh fashion inspiration and outfit ideas, where trends are born and soft-launched straight onto our Instagram feeds. From butter yellow dresses to sheer layers and cowboy-core, we’ve already clocked some of the season’s biggest looks making their desert debut.
Spotted on the ground? Style stars like Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Love Island TV personalities Ella Thomas and Leah Kateb - all serving serious looks. Scroll on for our favourite fashion moments from weekend one so far - and trust us, you’ll want your screenshot button ready.
Kendall Jenner
Kendall Jenner has fully leant into the colour of the season, which is, of course, butter yellow. Her dress is from Proenza Schouler's White Label and, while sold out, we've found some Kendall Jenner butter yellow alternatives.

Tyla made sure her Coachella debut was one for the books – the star stunned in archival Dolce and Gabbana.

Julia Fox
Never shy, the model butt-barred last weekend in a cream corset, topping the look off with a cropped brown leather jacket and knee-high heeled boots.

Lady Gaga
Gaga oh lala! In a nearly two hour set, the Bad Romance star pulled out feathers, studs, and capes - needless to say it was a spectacular production.

Charli D’Amelio
Howdy! Charli went for a black edgy western look because brown is so predictable. The fringed skirt steals the show here.

Jayda Cheaves
This faux wet top has made several appearances on our timelines recently and against the backdrop of the palmed festival it works. Jayda paired hers with ultra mini leather shorts and vintage Chanel boots - it’s giving serious Lara Croft vibes.

Ella Thomas
TV star Ella Thomas was best dressed on Love Island and we can see not much has changed. The black-on-black set - complete with a rope belt and micro bag - is Y2K with a grown-up spin. Bonus points for the statement chain necklace and sunnies.

Hailey Bieber
This was our favourite look from Hailey Bieber over the weekend: a red leather flame corset top balanced with black trousers. Sleek hair, bronzed skin, and a glossy nude lip gave her signature clean-girl beauty with a rockstar twist.

Charli XCX
The divisive bloomers were huge last summer, and maybe Charli XCX is proving they're still big for 2025.

Cardi B
The best thing about Coachella are all the little events that take place, too. Cardi B had a blast at the Revolve Festival event, dancing on stage. On Saturday she went for a full periwinkle look, and surprisingly, it works.

Leah Kateb
Leah’s take on festival dressing? All-out glam. She wore a fiery red two-piece covered in lace and appliqué details with cowboy boots to ground the look.
