Coachella might be a music festival, but it’s quickly become one of the most anticipated events of the year when it comes to fashion - and 2023 was no different.
Whilst all eyes are often on the star-studded line up of influencer and celeb attendees’ outfits, there’s often a lot of anticipation surrounding what the performing artists will wear too.
With style and trends ever changing, each year is different, and 2023 has given us a whole diverse range of on stage festival fits. Here’s the best:
Kali Uches
Showing that denim truly never goes out of style, Uchis wore a cropped corset style top decorated with crystals and blue butterflies paired with a matching denim pleated miniskirt.
Her shoes were knee high denim boots which, of course, matched the rest of her outfit and were also decorated with blue butterflies.
Tying the look together was her bedazzled statement belt, which featured a plaque displaying her name - very early 2000s, truly proving that the noughties fashion is here to stay!

As always, Charli XCX pulled off a strong look for her performance, going one step further in matching with all her background dancers in custom Marni looks.
The ‘Hot In It’ singer wore a bedazzled leather bodysuit, paired with a cropped leather bomber jacket and, of course, matching boots and gloves.

A clear fan favourite of Coachella has definitely been Becky G, and it’s clear to see why.
The singer looked absolutely incredible in a blue, rhinestone covered lingerie set, which she wore under some loose fitting blue cargo trousers.
Topping off the look with a blue cowboy hat and chain necklaces, her fit was super fun and matched her energy on stage perfectly.
She even took colour co-ordination to the next level with a blue mic to match the look!
WILLOW

Not only did WILLOW sound incredible during her Coachella set, but she looked it too. Once again, another denim look that stole the show - rocking a full denim jumpsuit that had strings of distressed denim fabric adoring her legs which added a grungy tone to the fit.
Saweetie

Saweetie certainly caught everyone's attention with her pre-performance outfit that she posted on her Instagram, captioned ‘howdy.’
The all brown look featured a lace up corset and flared fringe-decorated Stinson pants, topped off with a brown belt worn around her neck as a choker. The entire look was cohesive, fun, and played with aspects of classic throwback festival fashion.
Rosalia

Rosalía wore a custom Area look for her performance at Coachella, which featured a long, baby pink ruffled cardigan.
The delicateness of the sheer cardigan was paired with an all leather look underneath, which was a black bra and black trousers. Topped off with a rather large pair of statement sunglasses, the outfit brought two contrasting styles together perfectly, and was a balanced blend of classic ‘femininity’ and grunge.
