Description

Coachella takes place every April for 2 consecutive weekends. The first festival was in 1999. The 22nd Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival took place on the weekends of April 14th, 2023 and April 23rd, 2023.  It was held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA. (about 23 miles east of Palm Springs/ 127 miles out of Los Angeles.

Tickets prices were tiered (1 thru 5) ranging from $549 to $649 - VIP tickets started at $1,069

Celebrities, influencers and surprise performers show up yearly.  Typically…you can expect the 2nd weekend to go smoother as a whole.

Celebrities and Influencers typically show up on the first weekend to make sure they get the first look at everything.  So for sure…influencers are always there for weekend one and The Revolve Festival which took place April 15th and April 16th.  A Lot of my favorite fashion looks went down at the Revolve Party. 

Coachella Headliners & Top Musical Performances 

Blondie -Debbie Harry is a legend.  She wore a sheer long sleeve top with leather vest and gray acid wash gloves that matched her acid wash pants - but the mirrored poncho that she came out in and later took off just made it for me.  I absolutely LOVED IT!

Bad Bunny -Bad Bunny made history being the first Latin artist to headline Coachella - This gorgeous man wore a custom all-black Mugler look consisting of a leather jacket, buckle-waist pants, and a zipped hoodie with sheer corset paneling at the torso for one of his sets (my personal favorite). He also rocked an open puffer jacket and was showing a beautiful new chest tattoo, six-pack abs and diamond chains.

Rosalía - Holy Smokes, is she fantastic or what??? YESSSSSS! Rosalía wore as custom Acne Studios, including a sheer pink robe with lace-up detailing, a black bustier top, and leather pants. Then came out with black bustier shiny leather pants and a sheer blouse much like the light pink. She rocked Rick Owens futuristic Kriester Sunglasses (one of the hottest products in 2023) Oh and if you missed Rosalía  in a white  bodysuit, shiny white sarong and white block heeled boots.  WHAT…YES!!! Here is a link to see it!

Rachel’s Favorite Coachella Looks and Fashion Highlights

Zendaya rocked a pink corset-style top and matching frayed skirt, layered over a white tank, with black thigh-high, lace-up stiletto boots. Accessories -  large silver hoops and rings. She performed with Labrinth on the songs “I’m Tired” and “All of Us”

Hailey Bieber wore a crisp white cropped tank top, faded oversized light-wash jeans, a black Streets Ahead belt, Mejuri earrings, a gold body chain and several layered gold necklaces. Let’s not forget the streak of yellow eyeliner and bright lime green nails. Loved it!

Irina Shayk wore a sheer black slip dress with diagonal ruffles from Rat and Boa, plus a black choker and cross pendant rosary necklace.I also especially liked her in the Etro Skirt, Versace Top and Burberry Shoes - I had to look 3 times to make sure that it wasn’t a matching look.  Amazing way to wear patterns with similar color schemes.
