The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is underway and for some music fans, it’s a way to express their style with the Empire Polo Club in Indio acting as one big grass-covered runway.
In 2023, we saw lots of metallics, fringe and bright colors pop on the polo field.
Even the musicians are into the fashion for 2024. Tyler, the Creator, Saturday night’s headliner, has multiple fashion brands to his name in addition to his musical credits.
Take a look through the photos to see some of the stylish festival-goers at Coachella and some of the best festival fashion we’ve seen this year.
