It’s that time of year when celebs take a pilgrimage to the California desert for all the sights and sounds of Coachella . This year, we saw the usual packs of Victoria’s Secret models and festival mainstays (hello, Vanessa Hudgens, Alessandra Ambrosio and Paris Hilton). And while cutoffs and florals still reigned supreme, there were a couple of surprising trends at this year’s festival.
The pattern of the weekend was definitely polka dots with several celebs showing their spots via matched sets and frilly dresses. Neon was also huge — and not just at the Neon Carnival. From hot pink to bright green, it was one of the sartorial highlights. And Gigi Hadid was almost single-handedly trying to keep the tie-dye wave going.
Now that we’ve whetted your appetite, here are all the must-see getups celebs wore for the first weekend of Coachella.
