Awards season is out, and festival season is fashionably in.
Coachella 2026 is finally here, and thousands of people are headed to Indio, California, for three days of nonstop music and must-see fashion.
“Styling for Coachella is different than other events because there really are no boundaries when it comes to the style,” celebrity stylist Lisa Marie Cameron exclusively shared with Us Weekly before Sabrina Carpenter takes the stage on Friday, April 10. “You can really take risks you usually wouldn’t, play on self-expression and mix fabrics/metals and patterns. There really are no restrictions or guidelines here, which we love, and clients don’t always get to do when attending other events.”
After styling Bachelor Nation’s Hannah Godwin and Jason Tartick, YouTuber Niki DeMartino and more stars for the festival, Cameron is happy to share a few priceless tips to make sure your outfit steals the show in the desert.

“My advice for those wanting to make a memorable look this Coachella season is to focus on comfort, bold choices and playing to your own personal style,” she said. “Choose functional pieces, like boots or a simple silhouette, to start and amp them up to extremes.”
In honor of festival season, Us asked some famous Coachella regulars to share which look they still can’t get enough of. Keep reading for some serious fashion inspiration:
Serene Russell
“My favorite Coachella look I’ve ever worn was really simple, actually! This orange plissé set from showpo was silky and comfy for the cooler weather at night- I wore it to Frank Ocean, and the inspo was his album Channel Orange! I paired it with jumbo rainbow earrings from Feed Me Gems and necklaces I had in my closet with a rhinestone eye appliqué and orange aviator sunglasses!” — Bachelor Nation’s Serene Russell
Kaylee Ricciardi
“It’s honestly hard for me to choose just one! Each year, I’m drawn to different cuts, textures, colors, patterns and trends depending on how I’m feeling. My outfits really reflect my mood in the moment.
I wore this last year. The body suit is llluo.o and the pants are Revice Denim.
Going into festival season, I’m always so excited and energetically charged. It’s high season for me, so it’s this chaotic blend of work and play. I love expressing myself through style, so Coachella is one of my favorite times to really have fun with it — and keep it playful.” — Selling the OC star Kaylee Ricciardi
Nicole Young
“My favorite Coachella look was this playful Western‑meets‑editorial moment I wore to several daytime brand events surrounding the festival. I remember feeling completely in my element, sun‑kissed, relaxed and ready to seize the moment. My vibe was ‘urban desert cowgirl, but make it fashionable,’ with the House of CB thigh-high snakeskin boots doing all the heavy lifting. It was one of those outfits that felt effortless but still told a whole story.” — Selling Sunset star Nicole Young
Tammy Kay Ly
“Oddly enough, I feel like the take on a cowboy mix can never go wrong for Coachella. I have to say that Nylon and Neon Carnival are both a couple of my favorite events at Coachella. I remember hearing about how iconic this massive festival was and thinking, ‘Wow. I need to attend one day.’ It lives up to the hype! The desert is healing for the soul
.” — Bachelor Mansion Takeover star Tammy Kay Ly
Joe Bradley
“This was my first ever Coachella experience, and I highly underestimated the high level of fashion I was about to dive into. Safe to say, I was unprepared, but luckily, my more fashionable gay best friends/POSSE came to the rescue. It kind of speaks to the cultural experience of Coachella. You not only share amazing memories and vibes with your squad all weekend, you also share your wardrobe.” — Southern Hospitality star Joe Bradley
Maddi Reese
“I was going for Y2K it-girl with a hint of desert cowgirl. It’s always my goal to rock effortless, but curated festival style, without coming off as too costumey. I have a passion for fashion and festival outfits are my favorite to put together.” — Southern Hospitality star Maddi Reese
Kaity Biggar
“My favorite Coachella look was from last year when I went with some of my closest girlfriends from The Bachelor. I wanted something chill, but still stylish. I went for a flirty, chill, western vibe and called it a day! I’m definitely not someone who goes over the top. For me, it’s all about wearing something I feel comfortable in because that’s when I feel the most confident. Especially at Coachella, you’re walking around all day, so being comfortable is key.” — Bachelor Nation’s Kaity Biggar
Charity Lawson
“For Coachella last year, I really wanted to channel and live up to the western desert vibe — but make it elevated, not your typical festival look. This crochet cut-out maxi dress from Fashion Nova gave me so much confidence and ended up being my most complimented outfit of the entire weekend. I always say an outfit is all about how you feel in it and wear it, so I kept the styling intentional with a chunky western belt and bold earrings from Free People and Jeffrey Campbell cowboy boots, letting the rest speak for itself. Festival season always reminds me to be bold, show a little skin, yet stay true to who I am — and this look felt exactly like me.” — Bachelor Nation’s Charity Lawson
Sophia Culpo
“The vibe was definitely futuristic cowgirl, but with a big early 2000s twist — the metallics, chunky necklace and tinted sunglasses all giving that Y2K energy. I was super inspired by everything around me, like the ferris wheel glowing in neon and the rainbow towers, so I wanted my outfit to feel like it lived in that same color world. I remember feeling really confident and playful, like I could push it a little and have fun with it. That’s kind of my Coachella approach, match the energy of the space, but still make it feel like you.” — The Culpo Sisters star Sophia Culpo
Jasmine Goode
“My favorite Coachella look was all about comfort! I wore oversized pants with a cropped top, which gave it that effortless slightly boho feel. I remember wanting to be comfortable enough to walk around all day so I paired it with sneakers but still feel styled. I added a loose boho twist to my hair to tie everything together and when it got cold at night, I threw on a jacket. It felt easy and perfect Coachella vibes.” — The Valley star Jasmine Goode
Sarah Trott
“This is definitely my hottest festival look, which kept me the coolest all day while I was running around having fun. I’ve reworn this Superdown x Revolve cover-up a million times since then and love that it brings back festival memories every time. I was going for a coastal cowgirl look with the camel colored suede fringe crossbody from Dolce Vita and matching boots. One of my absolute favs!” — Bachelor Nation’s Sarah Trott
Morgan Willett
“I’ll never forget the look I wore for Lady Gaga last year for Coachella. One of my all-time favorites! I wanted to do something funky and bold because hello! What would Gaga do? I got this gold and silver sequin set from Akira and paired it with some chunky combat boots. I felt like a sparkly disco ball ready to dance the night away in the desert — and I did!” — The Challenge and Big Brother star Morgan Willett
Nicole Williams English
“I’m such a nostalgic person by nature, so this look is inspired by growing up watching Ninja Turtles with my two brothers. I love to vintage shop and find pieces that look worn and have a story behind them. I found this vintage Ninja Turtle men’s T-shirt on eBay and gave it a biker twist with this vintage leather fringe jacket that was hand-beaded by the person who owned it before me. The statement piece was a custom necklace designed by Danny Fisher, who used real Ninja Turtle toys.” — Model Nicole Williams English
Barbie Blank Coba
“This look was full Coachella Barbie energy — fun, a little extra and totally unapologetic. I wore it out in the desert at night and remember feeling so confident and in my element with all that Coachella magic around me. The vibe was edgy meets glam, mixing my White Fox top and skirt with a Levi’s jacket and Prada combat boots, plus a crystal bag to pull it all together from CLD PR. It’s one of those looks that instantly takes me back to that moment.” — Model Barbie Blank Coba
Isabel Alysa
“Heading to Revolve Festival in this felt like the perfect mix of festival and put-together. I wanted something clean and chic but still cool, so I kept it monochromatic with a subtle western edge. The vibe was effortless, sun-soaked and confident — like you didn’t try too hard but still nailed it. The glow pulled everything together — I was testing formulas for our just-launched Sunnee BAESkin BAE-Phase Self Tanner, and it gave (and still gives) me the smoothest, bronzed finish that looks so good in the desert light. Plus, it smells like fresh watermelon, so the compliments were nonstop all day (even in the desert heat).” — Dolce Glow CEO Isabel Alysa
Chanel West Coast
“I’ve always loved Coachella. It’s one of my favorite music festivals to attend. The diverse music, fashion, parties and vibes are always all around amazing. I always run into old friends and make new ones. Some of my best friends currently I actually met at Coachella, and it’s a place where people from all walks of life can connect. I just love anything that brings humans together.” — “Wild West” singer Chanel West Coast
Paige Lindgren
“Coachella 2025, Day 2. Comfort is always my priority, so I go for something breathable that stays in place and I can actually move in all day. Free People is always my go-to for Coachella. Every piece just nails that effortless boho vibe. My favorite look last year was a blue romper from FP. Stack some jewelry, throw on boots and you have a Coachella fit!” — Content creator Paige Lindgren
