Coachella 2019 is upon us.
Sure, the popular double weekend-long gathering is technically a music and art festival but it also doubles as a fashion show. Celebrities, influencers and regular folk alike descend upon the Coachella Valley in Indio, Calif. for one weekend apiece where they enjoy a high volume of concerts from music’s top talent and even more Instagram uploads.
This year, Ariana Grande, Tame Impala, Childish Gambino, Zedd, Khalid, Kanye West‘s Sunday Service and more are bringing their best to the stage. Idris Elba will have his own DJ set as well. The festival announced on April 7, however, that Solange will no longer be performing due to “major production delays.”
Coachella is the place for attendees to show off their best style moments and inspiration. From colorful accessories like sunglasses and cross-body bags to visors, hats and boho dresses, everyone dresses to impress despite the desert temperatures.
Celebrities are no different. Many of them, including Rihanna, Kendall Jenner,Kylie Jenner, Katy Perry and Vanessa Hudgens, bring their A-game and have cemented themselves as style icons at the festival.
There have been many history-making moments at Coachella as of late. In 2018, Beyoncé turned Coachella into Beychella when she became the first black woman to headline the show. She’s now getting her own documentary about it.
Bey brought her fellow Destiny’s Child members onstage, accidentally stumbled while attempting to lift her sister and generally just took over the show during her long-awaited return to the stage.
Also last year, Justin Bieber took an iconic selfie with “Walmart yodeling kid” Mason Ramsey and generally danced his heart out in his Hawaiian shirt. There’s never a shortage of moments both in terms of style and personal.
Check out the photos below to see some of the most iconic celebrity outfits from Coachella over the years.

Cardi B
The Grammy-winning rapper shows off her growing baby bump at Coachella 2018 just one week after revealing on SNL that she and Offset were expecting their first baby. Her all-white outfit at Coachella bore some resemblance to her SNL dress, which was also body-hugging and white. While onstage at the music festival, she rocked a white corset top and white pants designed by Alejandro, which were apparently inspired by TLC.

Solange & Beyoncé
Coachella 2018 might as well have been named Beychella because who run the fest? Bey. The Lemonade artist performed onstage with her sister Solange and they both wore sparkling silver outfits. We repeat: who run the fest?
