00:00Coachella takes place over two weekends, but the first half of 2024's festival offered
00:05plenty of celebrity examples of what not to wear.
00:08Megan Fox's ensemble was all over the place, and we're not sure what she was going for
00:11with any of the pieces she chose. While a plain white top, denim short shorts, and an
00:15oversized leather jacket wouldn't have been the most exciting fit for the year's biggest
00:19music festival, this certainly could have worked for Fox with some different accessories.
00:23Cowboy hats may be in for festival season this year, but this one contradicts the outfit's
00:28the peep-toe, over-the-knee boots are a different aesthetic altogether.
00:31At Coachella, Ice Spice sang Taylor Swift's Karma, with the song's originator herself
00:36in the audience. That may have been a nerve-wracking experience for Ice Spice, but it couldn't
00:40have induced as much anxiety as wearing head-to-toe lace. The lacy, tied-on IMGIA jumpsuit surely
00:46showed off the star's curves. Yet while Ice Spice's beauty shined through, this ensemble
00:50itself just wasn't cute. To make matters worse, she made the shocking choice to pair it with
00:54big, furry boots, making this look even busier and more confusing.
00:58It's a vibe, it's for the baddies that get it, for the confident people."
01:04Somehow it seems that rapper Bia got the same memo as Ice Spice did. As almost a compliment
01:08to Ice Spice's black lacy jumpsuit, Bia's skin-tight Maison Margiela jumpsuit was made
01:13of solid white, slightly shiny fabric. It had the same mess of ties as Ice Spice's,
01:18and by some coincidence, she also paired it with fluffy boots, a gray Ankuta Sarka pair.
01:22She took things a step further, adding alien-esque shades for an aggressively all-over-the-place
01:27look.
01:28Gwen Stefani's looks have changed a lot over the years, but her sense of style has always
01:31been consistent. Stefani loves high fashion, daring looks with punk influences. While we
01:36can often appreciate the star's one-of-a-kind fashion sense, the outfit she wore to perform
01:40at this year's Coachella was a flop.
01:42Along with her band, No Doubt, Stefani joined fellow pop-punk princess Olivia Rodrigo on
01:47the stage. She layered tattered pants and a long-sleeved shirt made of various plaid
01:51fabric scraps over a plaid bralette and fishnets. It was print overload.
01:55"...I know what's gonna happen. Like, I know I'm gonna get on stage with those guys and
01:59just start busting up laughing."
02:02What in the name of Cowboy Carter is going on with this outfit? Clearly, Teyana Taylor
02:05wanted to channel two of the biggest trends taking over this year's festival season — see-through
02:09clothing pieces and cowboy-inspired accessories. While attending RevolveFest, the singer wore
02:14a very revealing sheer dress with denim-inspired boots and a white cowboy hat. These elements
02:18may have been aligned with some big current trends, but they just didn't work together.
02:22And overall, the ensemble came across costumey.
02:25We know, we know, loafers and tall socks are totally in at the moment. However, Emilia
02:30Hamlin's Coachella look made us really wish they weren't. Pairing this footwear trend
02:33with wide-legged shorts just didn't give off a cohesive vibe. Swapping out the shorts for
02:37a maxi skirt or the shoes and socks for a pair of sneakers may have salvaged this look.
02:41But as it is, it just looks like Hamlin was confused about how to execute her favorite
02:46The single brouette and Y2K sunglasses didn't help matters, either.
02:50In the 2010s, Coachella fashion had a very specific aesthetic. Between the over-the-knee
02:54socks, see-through crochet skirt, a wide-brimmed hat, flowy floral sleeves, and reflective
02:59sunglasses, Heidi Klum seemed to pile on at least 90 percent of the popular festival items
03:03from that decade.
03:04It seems as though the supermodel got caught in a time warp and thought she was on her
03:07way to Coachella 2015 rather than Coachella 2024. For this year's festival, though, she
03:12could have swapped some elements of her outfit for more paired-down options.
03:16Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards is another celeb who got the country-inspired
03:21trend all wrong at this year's Coachella. She paired weathered-looking cowboy boots
03:24with a plain black cowboy hat. These accessories could have complemented a different outfit,
03:29but she paired them with basic skinny jeans, a black top, and a hot pink crossbody bag
03:33that looked like classic 2016 mall trip attire. The bright, polished look of this bag really
03:37clashed with her other accessories and would have looked much better paired with a sleeker
03:41outfit.
03:42Y2K style is clearly here to stay, but Keith Powers didn't bother to modernize his early
03:47aughts outfit. He wore it just as it would have been sported two decades ago. The skin-tight
03:51long-sleeve tee paired with baggy, wide-leg jeans was enough of a vintage overload. However,
03:56the addition of dated sneakers and silver jewelry and belt buckle just made it look
03:59like he was doing some kind of NSYNC cosplay. Any one of these pieces could have worked
04:03with other more updated, elevated elements.
04:06Doja Cat performed at Coachella in a full hazmat suit. We have a feeling that when she
04:10made this choice, she wasn't exactly hoping for a Best Dressed award. Instead, she was
04:14probably adding this to her long list of looks that have revived camp over the years. Even
04:18so, performing in a full face of makeup and a hazmat suit simply belongs on the Worst
04:22Dressed list. Furthermore, when she took her hood down, she had knee-length, pin-straight
04:26platinum blonde locks, which made this whole ensemble even more perplexing.
04:30We can't imagine why Amber Rose sported this ensemble to Coachella, unless she was just
04:34trying to give Doja Cat a reason to wear the hazmat suit. This color combination of lime
04:38green and gold is truly terrible, and something about the stringy pattern of the jumpsuit's
04:42print makes the ensemble look even more reminiscent of seaweed, eels, or other generally unpleasant
04:47motifs. The only thing that could make this outfit worse would be a matching bag and baseball
04:51cap. Oh wait, she had those, too.
04:54Due to its desert location, Coachella is a notoriously hot event, and it's hard to imagine
04:59what would be worse to wear to a hot event than lots and lots of leather. Tyga sported
05:02a bulky, oversized leather jacket and heavy, baggy leather pants. Not only did this outfit
05:07totally overwhelm the star, but it just looked too heavy and winter-ready for this classic
05:11springtime festival. Pairing either one of these pieces with a lighter alternative would
05:15have worked much better.
