I Went To Coachella 2024 & These Were The Biggest Fashion Trends
Naked dresses, cowgirl vibes, and Lana Del Rey core all made appearances.
Nothing was more the vibe this weekend than Coachella. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce came to watch all her besties perform, Billie Eilish had a surprise DJ set, and despite turning down the Super Bowl, Justin Bieber even made an appearance at the music festival. With music’s biggest stars all in attendance, you can guarantee that the Coachella 2024 ‘fits were at their peak.
This year, there were so many notable fashion trends resurfaced from the past (and made better!), aesthetics that are currently beloved on TikTok, as well as new trends that will give you the perfect starting points for planning your Weekend 2 style.
True to form, headliner Lana Del Rey rocked her signature coquette aesthetic (aka Lana Del Rey core) — only amplifying her whimsical periwinkle blue dress with glitter to make her cottagecore look stand out on the stage — while her pal Swift opted for a hint of tennis-core with a pleated mini skort.
Some of the biggest celeb fashion trends at Coachella were actually kind of surprising, though. Below, you’ll see what stars like Megan Fox, Paris Hilton, and Ice Spice wore to this year’s big event, most of which were a far cry from Coachella Queen Vanessa Hudgens’ earthy attire.
Cowgirl Aesthetic
Paris Hilton decided to go with an all-black, full-on Cowboy Carter ‘fit on Day 2 of Coachella weekend. She paired her cowboy hat with knee-length cowboy boots, a total vibe for casual cowgirls everywhere.
Megan Fox also rocked a cowboy hat under full cotton candy blue hair at the NYLON House party the night before, which made the straw hat stand out even more.
Lana Del Rey went full on goth cowgirl during her Weekend 2 performance in a custom-made Dolce and Gabbana number.
Shield Sunglasses
Shield sunglasses are still having their Y2K resurgence and it doesn’t look like they’re going away anytime soon. Scheana Shay from Vanderpump Rules, for instance, was spotted in shield sunglasses all weekend.
Hilton rocked shield sunglasses on stage for her surprise appearance with Vampire Weekend, but we wouldn’t expect anything less from the queen of Y2K fashion herself.
Naked Dresses
Sheer and naked dresses have been a mainstay on awards show red carpets all year, and the trend got even more skin-baring at Coachella under the hot sun.
Long, flowy skirts that are sheer, crocheted, or even made of lace (more on that later) are a great way to rock the naked look, and so many stars proved it this weekend.
For instance, Charli D’Amelio created a naked look by pairing an oversized skirt with a barely there top and underwear. Yes, the no-pants trend is still going strong.
Bikinis As Tops
If your Coachella vibe is all about reducing, reusing, and recycling, wearing a bikini top as part of your outfit is the trend for you. Camila Mendes wore this look at the Aperol Spritz Terrazza activation in the VIP section Weekend 1, and it was spotted all over festival grounds.
You can pair your bikini with a sheer tie top like Mendes did, rock it with a full-length skirt for a mix of high and low coverage, or just keep it simple with a pair of shorts.
Mendes’ bestie Lili Reinhart wore a bikini top with a lace skirt to Revolve Fest, while influencer Tessa Brooks opted to pair a bikini top with silver pants for the festival events this year.
Lace
Attendees rocked everything from lace catsuits (see: Ice Spice) to full-length lace coverups (see: Heidi Klum). Even Gwen Stefani wore a lace camisole and matching shrug that she changed into midway through her Coachella set. Is it an addition to Lana Del Rey core or a style all its own?
No matter how you incorporate lace into your festival ‘fit this year, it’s definitely one of the top three trends I saw at the festival, so you can’t go wrong with it.
Moto Boots
Did you even go to Coachella if you didn’t sport a pair of moto boots at least once? Influencer and podcaster Brooke Schofield wore moto boots on multiple days of Coachella, while actor Cierra Ramirez wore them with a leopard print number.
Animal print’s another big 2024 trend, so we’ll see if more pop up during Weekend 2.
Statement Tees
Camila Cabello wore a shirt that read “Pepsi Cola” at her surprise performance with Lana Del Rey during Weekend 2 of Coachella, Alix Earle rocked a tee that read “Do My Boobs Look Big In This?”, and Sabrina Carpenter won the weekend by rocking a shirt that read, “Jesus Was a Carpenter.”
Kesha mixed things up a little by wearing a graphic tank vs. tee that read “I Am Mother.”
Have nothing to wear to the next festival? Go with your favorite statement-making tee and pair it with shorts and boots.
Pleated Skirts
Taylor Swift dropped jaws by attending festival sets as if she wasn’t Taylor Swift! Plus, she rocked the cutest black pleated mini skirt from Halara with a flirty thigh strap.
Sabrina Carpenter also wear a pleated mini on stage, and pleated skirts and pleated dresses were all over the festival grounds.
