Ah, the Coachella Valley: Every April, celebs and influencers from all over the country jet into Southern California to see the music industry’s biggest acts and to be photographed while doing so.

After the festival took a two-year hiatus due to covid-19, Coachella sprung back to life this year with boho chicness and a group of Gen Z influencers posting TikToks about their first time ever in the desert, making me feel like a straight-up fossil. And in an Easter/Passover/Ramadan miracle, flower crowns were nowhere to be found—thank you, God.

This year’s festival was headlined by Billie Eilish, The Weeknd, and Swedish House Mafia. Kanye West was initially set to headline, but amidst potential stalking behavior and online harassment towards ex-wife Kim Kardashian, West was pulled from the festival and replaced by The Weeknd and Swedish House. Cancelled men aside, my sources tell me it was a good, sweaty romp in the desert this year, made infinitely hotter by Harry Styles bringing Shania Twain onstage for a surprise performance of “Man, I Feel Like a Woman.”

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the fanny packs, pasties, and bodysuits wedgied up the butts of our favorite celebs and degenerates!!!

Adding fishnets to any outfit makes it high art. This silver Wonder Woman bodice on Megan, she’s more like Megan thee (perfect!!!) Medallion.

After showing up to the Grammys in my favorite dress of the 2022 awards season, Doja can do no wrong. This ensemble is an explosion of 90s subcultures (sequins! flames! spikes! leather harness!) and also looks like it was spat out of an arcade. I am nonetheless obsessed with it.

I know she’s doing the whole anti-glam transformation, but I fear she may blend in with the desert sand.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, she looks good, but I’m not entirely convinced these photos are from this year. I wore a similar outfit to Coachella in 2015 when crocheted dresses were actually cool??

Thank you for saving me from boredom, Michelle! I also love that this look lightly emulates a Peep in honor of Easter weekend.

She nailed it, as much as I hate to see someone actually looking good in low-rise jeans. Effortless.

It’s giving Xtina. The dangly butterfly belly ring and the spiky buns are sending me back to middle school.

Starting a new conspiracy theory that this little neon lady is a martian who kidnapped the real Paris Hilton, who would never wear space buns in public.

Bretman actually looked fantastic all weekend, but this is far too Alanis Morissette-borrows-her-grandmother’s-shall for me.

I know I literally just said the crochet dress moment is over, but Halle actually knows how to pull it off. Chloe looks angelic even in her pink stompers.
