COACHELLA 2017

Coachella 2017: Crop Tops, Florals and the Best Street Style From the Ancestral Homeland of Festival Fashion

Photographs by Emily Malan

Beyoncé may not be putting in an appearance at this year’s Coachella festival, but she’s just about the only one who isn’t descending on Indio, California, for the first weekend of the music festival, including Lady Gaga, new couple Selena Gomez and The Weeknd, Yara Shahidi, and more.) Coachella is the unofficial start of summer festival season—east coasters will have to wait for Governor’s Ball and Panorama later in the summer—and as such, it sets the benchmark for festival fashion for all the weekends to follow. This year, festival-goers who made the pilgrimage to Indio came equipped with festival staples—crop tops, florals, mesh, denim, and a bohemian attitude—demonstrating why Coachella has a reputation as the ancestral homeland of the festival look. See a few of our favorites from Coachella’s first weekend, here.
