Our Favorite Celebrity Style Statements at Coachella ’22!
Let’s be
real, Coachella is more like a global holiday than a music
festival. Every year, for two weeks, the most fashionable and
trendy people in the world gather to show off their statement
festival wear in front of the famous outlandish Coachella art
installations. No one is more susceptible to this shiny allure than
celebrities, giving them a chance to blend in with the masses and
enjoy the headlining artists without much public pressure. However,
they don’t skimp on the fashion, and we’re here to talk about it
all!
1. Devon Lee Carlson and
“Balletcore”
Wildflower Cases co-founder and trendsetter Devon Lee Carlson brought the emerging
“balletcore” style with her to Coachella, where she wore a nude
silk mini-dress with strategically gathered material. This dress,
paired with a slicked-back bun and wire-rimmed glasses, made for
the perfect dainty, soft look, which is the whole basis of
balletcore. TikTok has popularized this look, using specific items
from the traditional ballerina’s uniform to create the perfect
Parisian-luxury blend. Key elements include neutrals and soft
pinks, legwarmers, and slicked-back buns and braids.
2. Hailey Bieber’s Blue
Under-Eyeliner
Hailey Bieber rocked the early-2000s with some
low, low-rise parachute pants and a cropped Aerosmith baby Tee, but she wanted everyone to
note her light periwinkle under-eyeliner. This is an emerging
trend, particularly popular among the “fox eye” and smokey eye
lovers, but the pop of color is becoming more beloved as summer
approaches and everything becomes inherently more bright. Hailey
even gave credit to the inspiration of her make-up look — a random
photo off of Pinterest. Stars: They’re Just Like Us!
3. Kelsey Kreppel in the Casual
Maxiskirt
Kelsey Kreppel, ironically gaining some of her
initial fame from providing social commentary on Coachella outfits,
rocked the casual maxi-pencil skirt. She paired this with a
micro-cropped statement Tee that read “Booobs!” This look is
especially popular among the “model off-duty” corner of the
internet, where fashion lovers attempt to gain that ever-so casual
look that many models adopt when not on the runway. Key elements
include tailored jeans, simple crop-tops, white button-downs, and
carefree updos.
4. Harry Styles and Conan Gray Make a
Rosy Statement
While both
Styles and Gray were performers this year at Coachella, they
certainly still brought the noise to their stages – Conan
Gray wore a hot pink jumpsuit with flowing accordion
fabric his first weekend of performances, giving him a positively
ethereal look, while Harry Styles wore a matching
hot pink leather pants and vest set with a larger-than-life fuzzed
coat on top. These matching pops of color set a high fashion
precedence, and we expect to see this color palette embraced on the
runway sometime soon.
5. Doja Cat in Post-Apocalyptic
Chic
Like Doja Cat once wisely rapped, “yes I eat, I eat, I
eat.” While that might have been in reference to the revival of a
certain popular fast food item, it is also true of the look she
brought to the Coachella stage. Wrapped in loose linens in bright
colors and lots of netting, Doja embraced the recent trend of
post-apocalyptic wear ‘n’ tear made popular by the fashion school
attendees in the modern age. While Doja Cat created a slightly more
colorful look with her bright blues and oranges, the look was
impeccable. Key elements include unconventional fabrics (think
netting and nylon rope), black and neutral colors, space boots, and
strategically exposed skin.
