40 photos in gallerySpeaking of: This was the second Coachella photo I saw. And I tweeted it and said that I was fairly sure it would stand as the stupidest one of all. And then some people gave her some REALLY stiff competition.

Woooohoooooo!
Let us all rejoice
Been waiting for this after I stumbled upon the Coachella youtube live/rebroadcast you tube channels a couple of days ago
First thing on my mind was Fugnation and the fug that springs eternal each year from Indio, California.
Then I watched the Broken Bells set and happiness overtook me in anticipation of this post… perfect timing as office hours are officially over where I am
Really, Coachella is just the Southern California version of Burning Man, but with celebrities instead of tech geeks.
Yes! Coachella is sort of a Burning Man wannabee but music-oriented (watched a documentary on Burning Man and it looks insane, like Bai-Ling-came-up-with-this-stuff-insane) and Vanessa Hudgens is its spirit animal / mascot
I was thinking Burning Man Wannabe with try-hard celebrities.
I just wish Kellan was wearing as little (or less, actually) than the women.
a) the moment where beyonce came on to dance with solange was awesome. they both looked like they’re having so much fun
b) i’m really sick of all the cultural appropriation going on here- seriously, with the native american headdresses and the indian nose rings and the bindis. people, these things are actually important and mean things, they’re not just pieces of a costume to make you look like an idiot
c) selena gomez is merging into vanessa hudgens and that is scary
I’m Indian, and I won’t speak for the Native American headdress. But on the issue of cultural appropriation, I’m just offended that these people are RUINING the loveliness of nose rings and bindis by wearing them totally out of context!
Don’t be ridiculous- these are not sacred symbols in India either – people wear them as fashion accessories all the time!
Yeah I read online where people were giving Hudgens crap about her bindi and most Indian people say that it doesn’t offend them, that it can be and is used as a piece of fashion.
“fashion” being the part that is missing here. Well anyway, some starlet adding a bindi to her getup is I guess no more offensive than Courtney Love defacing a very beautiful multi-thousand-dollar handbag by carrying it with her Festival of Navel outfit.
Agreed. I should have said “fashion.”
Ugh.
After seeing several shots of really unappealing looks of spawn of so -called celebs I shut it down. Oh, the horror…
Please:more Prince George, more Emma and Garfy, more Sam Claflin, more CLooney ( where has he been?)
We can only give you what we have available!
And some of us love this. The Willis sisters are a definite highlight for me!
Me too! I was the Willis girls’ camp counselor way back in the day. It’s a little scary to see them all grown up, and in such terrible clothes. Lulah was so cute when she was 9!
Bieber’s giving Kylie a run for her money, but seriously. That nose ring might get yanked out before the night’s over.
Oops, Kendall. Sorry, Kylie.
all the same…
I totally wonder how many of those people actually enjoy the music. Coachella seems to be what Woodstock would have been if populated by douches.
Looks like they all *wish* they were at Woodstock. But with an adequate supply of bottled spring water, pot-a-johns, and wireless voice/data coverage, of course.
You could use “Murder of Asshats” to refer t almost everyone pictured.
In regards to the port-a-johns: there are SO MANY JUMPSUITS in this slideshow. Jumpsuits + port-a-johns = NIGHTMARE SCENARIO.
As someone who was actually a teenager in the 70s (I am ancient), I find that this is bringing back a shitload of horrific sartorial memories I’d rather stay unrecovered.
I, too, am ancient, but my old hippy clothes (and yours), were at least legit, and didnt cost $200.00.
Well, Justin Bieber was there performing, so it can’t be about music anymore.
He was not an official performer at Coachella, FYI.
Rose McGowan’s outfit is a bit young for her, but she looks 10x better than basically everyone in this slideshow, so I’ll give it to her. (Dianna Agron is better dressed, but she’s basically it.)
And I kind of like Emmy Rossum’s outfit. The flower crown is fun hippie instead of ridiculous hippie.
I agree, Emmy’s outfit looks comfortable and festival-appropriate.
A simple flower wreath is something fun and hippie-ish without being too over the top and where else would a girl wear one that not there
Emmy’s outfit was cute but her expression seemed to be asking the question, “Am I Coachella-ing correctly?”
Emmy is such a NYC girl, though; she can’t quite go full hippie.
I wore Rose McGowan’s EXACT outfit to a school dance when I was 14. In 1990.
Puffy (Diddy, Sean Combs) or whatever he s calling himself now is wearing a sweatshirt with embellished with Biggie’s face. This is surely the best thing worn at this shit show. This post was hilarious. thank you!
I thought it was hilarious that he was wearing a sweater and pants at an event where many people are basically naked because it is so hot.
I think he is the stupidest thing there- the Jenner girl does not even come CLOSE!!!! HE looks so freaking stupid he’s making me stabby- and those ugly boots!!!!
At least Kellen doesn’t NAB?
I swear, I think this slideshow broke my brain. It’s not any worse than previous years of Coachella. I guess I’m just not in the right frame of mind. Too stark a contrast with Kate and Wills, maybe.
heh, I was going to post that maybe Kellen needs a bracelet.
Dianna Agron looks cute. So does Lea Michele and Emmy Rossum, and I actually like Joe Jonas’s shirt. But the rest of it, I just…don’t understand…
First off, “A Fleet of Douchecanoes? A Murder of Asshats?” made me laugh out loud at my desk. Both would be great band names.
Also, I am old, and went to Coachella way back in 2005. It was one weekend. We camped. It was very hot. There were very few recognizable celebrities. I did wear a heinous skirt that I bought at the festival, but that was only because it was so hot that I needed a change of clothes. The douche-osity? of the festival now is unparalleled.
I ALSO went in 2005. I had on like a tank top and shorts, and yeah, vanity does go out the window — but in a way that doesn’t yield this carefully sculpted hideousness. And it was totally chill and Vincent Gallo was serving curry at one of the food booths just to help out, and the biggest celeb we saw otherwise was Nurse Jerry from ER (Abraham Benrubi). It was SO NICE. We had the best time. One weekend, two days only… perfect. No paparazzi anywhere.
Also, New Order was one of the headliners that year. I fear the current crop of Coachella attendees would not even know who they are.
I feel like the current crop of attendees would not even know who the CURRENT musical acts are. Imagining Selena Gomez rocking out to Outkast makes me want to die a little inside.
The fug it burns! Thankfully, I didn’t encounter any of those celebs this weekend, except Lorde, since I was at her set (amazing btw).
I implore people not to judge this festival by the celebrities, it’s really pretty amazing.
I agree. From my friends that have gone, it is a very different experience than what you get from the celeb photos. Music fans can actually see a lot of bands and have a good time.
I’m an old too. I went to a festival in Southern Illinois way way back in the day, at Bull Island. It was the real deal, we bathed in the river, bartered pot for bathroom privileges in an RV, etc. I would never ever do anything like it again, but it was great when you’re 19.
That being said, these pictures are like the Disney TV Movie version of a rock festival.
Aren’t these kids just absolutely exhausted from trying so hard?
Fleet of Douchecanoes officially wins the internet this week for Heather. She should be running out of room on her mantle for these awards.
All of this [conversation] has happened before, and all of this will happen again
So, I think an entire March (April?) Madness could be run from Coachella alone and the matches would be fierce.
That nose/ear thing reminds me of the bass player from Skid Row. Wasn’t a smart look 25 years ago, isn’t a smart look now. Someone, intentionally or not, is going to get caught on that chain and then only pain will commence.
Yes! Even eating would be dangerous.
There’s no way it’s not a clip-on, so I think it would just slide ride off if it got caught.
Oh yeah – Good point.
Coachella Madness would be a great contest … although this year, the sheer volume of Jenner/Kardashian representatives beat out the rest of the offenders, even Beiber. I am shuddering at the fact that we need to endure the emergence of Kylie and Kendall into the Kosmos, in the wake of Kim et al. Someday, they will all be the equivalents of what Paris Hilton is today … but that day is too far in the future for my taste.
And horribly they are pathetic, soulless versions of their big sisters, who in turn are pathetic, soulless versions of most everyone else in the world.
I just love the idea of Paris Hilton’s slogan just being “Meeeee!”
That last slide really made me laugh. And how scary is it that Paris actually looks pretty good compared to the rest of these yahoos? (Well, Lea Michele looked legit nice, I think.)
Oh Coachella, I have been awaiting the Fug girl’s take on your sartorial splendor.
May I humbly resubmit “douchecanoe flotilla” from the Seyfried thread?
There is so much try in this slideshow. So. Much. Try.
Kendall Jenner’s stiffest competition for worst look is… Kendall Jenner. Just – stop. Stop now, while you still have time to acquire life skills.
Also, I believe the term you are looking for is “a gaggle of twatwaffles.”
That or the simpler, “A conclave of cretins.”
“a travesty of Trustafarians.”
I agree. I voted “no,” but that’s because other things she wore were worse.
Heh. I actually MEANT to say that her worst competition is KYLIE Jenner, but my boredom with them is such that I can’t be bothered to remember which one I’m talking about even halfway through a sentence. But yes, all Kendall’s outfits were awful.
And don’t worry, whichever Jenner was in the heinous sweatshirt, I’m sure your mama will buy you some tits as soon as that’s legal.
Wow, there is a LOT of magnificent wackitude here, but no. 8 is my fave. Vanessa Hudgens in Not Without My Shopping Cart: Portrait of a 25-Year-Old Bag Lady.
Apparently there is a 10 accessory minimum at the gates.
LOL at the massengill quip.
Yes, well done quality snark there. Oh, and looook at all the fake hippies!
Dr Scholl’s needs a booth next door to treat all the stank-boot feet.
these are hilarious. everything is so deliberately fake and weird and stupid. however i like kellan’s bag. it’s the only practical accessory in the bunch and better than a fanny pack.
I liked it, too. In fact, I could really use one of those.
I full-on laughed out loud – loudly!! – at the first Vanessa Hudgens photo (#8). She had no competition in the WTFug department, at least on that day!
This was HILARIOUS and made me so happy! Is there a tumblr of Kellan Lutz doing or saying funny things? Because there should be. And the Jenner girls are just SO TRY-HARD. God, I can’t.
After all of this craziness, Viking Eric at Coachella is a breath of fresh, normal air: http://www.celebitchy.com/360722/alex_skarsgard_has_arrived_for_the_viking_beer_other_coachella_photos/
Note that the picture of Paris Hilton in that article could ALSO be captioned, “MEEEE!!!!”
WORDS!!!!!!
Kendall Jenner looks like she could be the daughter of Sandra Bullock. Never noticed that before. e
Except…well…would Sandra allow a daughter of hers to do that to her nose? Come to think of it, I think she might (Sandra seems like she wouldn’t stress out over it).
Massengill really ought to have a tent at Coachella.
Yes. I saw some college age girls wearing shorts so short I wondered how they aren’t constantly feeling like they have a wedgie.
Is this just a festival of ridiculous clothing?
My lady parts hurt just looking at those short shorts. Ouch.
Me too! It just looks so uncomfortable, I DON’T UNDERSTAND THE DIAPER SHORTS.
Can we just stop with the bindis?
Ps. Fug Girls – Please do your Lindsay recap asap. I’ve been dying to hear your thoughts!
I am working on it! These things take time and the MTV Awards took precedence.
Probably the only time the MTV Movie Awards will ever take precedence over something.
It’s a close run thing, but Tallulah Willis actually does look worse than Kendall Jenner. Ugggh! Is there any decent music at this thing or is it just a bunch of minor-to-mid level celebrities wishing that they were their own grandparents circa 1969?
Oh, Jennerettes. Please stop.
To be fair, I saw a picture of Paris and Nicky Hilton, looking reasonably festival-normal, in long boho dresses – but obviously Paris can’t pass up a chance to MEEEEE!
Jennerettes *snicker* LOVE it..
I have been waiting for this post too. It just cracks me up seeing people wear stuff like this. I watched a video, where a stylist dressed some celeb in’ Coachella wear on a budget’, which pretty much looked the same as all the stuff here, except it was all from Forever 21.
Ratty shorts, crop top, flimsy robe and too many accessories, including flowered headband.
You could do what we did, back in the day, and go to Goodwill, and come out dressed pretty much the same, but for about $10 (and thats allowing for inflation)
I’ll have to go back through the train wreck and see what the non-famous ppl are wearing, now.
It cracks me up that Lea Michele is always posing cleanly in front of one of the sponsored tents, instead of getting down and dirty with the rest of the unwashed. Also, that has to be the most relaxed and natural Beyonce has looked in public in… ever. That shot of her and Solange is wonderful. Also also, Dianna Agron FTW: she looks cute and practical.
The rest of this is just exhausting.
Also, the Lea Michele photo doesn’t lend much credence to her denial that she’s being paid by Lacoste to attend Coachella.
Yes! I was going to say “Izod Employee Golf Outing” for that pic, but you beat me to the concept.
I’m just so thrilled that little sideways-seersucker thing is not a romper that I can’t ding her too hard, though.
While we’re on the subject of collective nouns, I think slide 15 is a lovely example of an Exaltation of Knowles.
Yay! That picture of their sister dancing is pure joy, I will tolerate the whole of the rest of the slideshow for it.
They all need a bath and a decent stylist
“Murder of Asshats” was totally my favorite part. (Altho, Edith, I also dig “gaggle of twatwaffles”! Thanks for the giggles!) I cherish you, Fug Girls! Never change!
For a hot minute I thought Jared Leto was Dave Grohl.
Understandable. Leto’s mission to obscure his good looks has finally succeeded. He’s unrecognizable, and he looks like hell. Which is basically Dave Grohl’s stock in trade.
I should note I mean no insult by that – I love the Foo Fighters, and Grohl is a superb musician of long standing! I have every respect for him. But he does seem to enjoy looking like an unmade bed.
Once again, HelenBackAgain expresses my own thoughts and feelings to utter perfection. Oh, Helen, you are Back Again reading my mind. =)
I like Grohl and the Foo Fighters but always want to scream, “Grunge is over! OVER!! You can just do good music without looking like hobos.”
Except that Grohl seems like a genuinely nice man, and for some reason Jared Leto strikes me as the kind of dude who could launch an entire flotilla of douchecanoes all by himself. He creeps me out.
Jared is actually a nice person who happens to be good friends with Dave: http://spd.fotolog.com/photo/13/44/26/darkvalley/1194288560_f.jpg
These pics pretty much killed any desire I might have had to ever attend Coachella (hint, I had no desire whatsoever). I just can’t even with these people and their stupid shit.
Coachella looks like it stinks to high heaven, literally.
It all just looks so ridiculously uncomfortable, impractical and hipster wanna be. Plus, it make me feel itchy because they all look like they need showers. I must be getting too old to find any appreciation in this entire dog and pony show. I don’t know if that makes me sad, or remarkably happy.
Um, not sure I should give you another reason to scream, Heather, but many of these tragically hip people are actually PAID to attend Coachella. Yes! Is that stupid or what?
Oh, I know. Everyone’s paid to do everything in this town.
I wonder how much they make. What a great — if cynical — way to promote an event. Nothing is ever as it seems to be in Hollywood.
…and I spent my twenties studying things like biochemistry and cell biology and neuroanatomy. wth?!?
See I like the Jenner girl with the nose ring. I mean, I don’t actually like the look but I feel like it’s age appropriate and festival appropriate and I feel like she will be suitably embarrassed with hindsight, but it made me smile!
Wow, this post made me feel really old, as there were several people I did not recognize AT ALL.
Also, I had a dress from Free People back in the 90s, and it is one of my favorite dresses ever, so I can appreciate the boho vibe here. Of course, I didn’t pair it with a thousand mismatched, tacky accessories, and it did cover enough of me that I could wear it to school/visit my grandmother/etc.
Wow, my standards for what looks good really went down as I looked through the pictures. By the end, anyone who looked bathed seemed good, comparatively.
By the time I reached Courtney Love, I thought for a moment, “Hey, she actually looks pretty decent.” Then I realized her dress isn’t lined, and her navel and bra (small favors: she’s wearing one) are just all … out there.
Yeah but at least she’s Courtney Love and she’s supposed to look like that.
In this article, no less a fashion maven than THE SEV reports that she refers to the ubiquitous daisy dukes as “denim diapers.” PEOPLE. When THE SEV is disparaging your shorts, it’s time to go home.

(sorry for ginormo link)
“…Vanessa Hudgens will net $15,000 from McDonalds (will she dress like The Hamburgler?)…”
No clue how this happened, but man, I wish she WERE dressed like the Hamburgler.
….OR IS SHE?
The Jenner girls look like they’re heading out to meet their Wiccan Coven. I guess Coachella truly is a magical place.
The girls trying to hide from the photographers is just too much. Too too much. That along with the dust storm made this slideshow extra special.
Is it bad that my first reaction to Courtney Love was relief because at least she’s wearing a bra. Yes, we can see it… and that’s why I’m so glad she’s wearing one…
‘A Murder of Asshats’ will be the name of my grunge band.
And Kellan Lutz may be the most genial doof around… but he’s also a damn hot doof. I would cougar him in a heartbeat! (“Shh, Kellan. Don’t speak.”)
Kellan Lutz does not NAB !
Don’t hate me but I like Audrina’s outfit. It looks so comfortable.
Honestly, they all look like they smell.
Can “Murder of Asshats” PLEASE be the new name of the festival? Clearly sponsored by everyone in attendance.
You know those SNL skits in which Will Forte and Jason Sudekis color-commentate women’s sports? Those are the voices I was hearing in my head as I read these.
Pete Twinkle and Greg Stink! I love you, Will Forte.
I love how all these celebs at Coachella think it’s 1968.
I’m not a huge fan of Emmy Rossum, but she looks way out of place — she has too much innate class to be at this gaggle of grossness. And by “too much class,” I mean she looks clean.
Agreed. Her outfit is actually pretty cute and festival-appropriate, but she looks like she’s wearing a costume.
They’re all wearing a costume – it’s just that unlike the other douches, Emmy seems to not take herself seriously. I think she looks cute.
I saw another picture from Coachella of Cara Delevingne and her sister (Poppy?). Poppy? was wearing a bikini top with high waisted bikini bottoms, and maybe also a jacket, and she looked fairly awful and desperate for attention, but Cara actually looked reasonably normal. She was just wearing shorts and a t-shirt, and it seemed like it was something that she just grabbed off of her floor, not something that she spent 3 hours picking out. I liked that she didn’t seem to try really hard (as opposed to everyone else who probably used a stylist and spent hours of their time trying to look like they weren’t trying very hard).
Captions and comments are hilarious! One question: I thought Coachella was cool. Why is Bieber there?
LOL! I thought the exact same thing!
My question is: what on earth is he wearing and why?
Maybe he was sad about being left out of Fug Madness this year.
At least he appears to have only spent about $10 on the whole look.
Coachella stopped being truly cool at least five or six years ago and has morphed into the parade of asshattery you see here. Shudder.
OMG. Who are all these ghastly ppl, & who chose their hideous outfits for them?!
But still. The hippie nose-earring attached to the hippie ear-earring with a chain caps all of it. Especially when paired with a girly little necklace. I think my head just exploded.
How do companies look at these people dressed like this and think ” yes we want to give you thousands and thousands of dollars to promote us” ?
I… think I’m too old for this shit (at the ripe old age of 30). Is Coachella basically an excuse to dress like an idiot?
LOL at “A Fleet of Douchecanoes”… made my morning.
I am also too old for this shit (at 30)! A few weeks ago one of my friends, who is 27, was telling me all about how her and her friend are going to Coachella and it took all my power to not roll my eyes.
I’m older than 30, but frankly I think I was BORN too old for this shit.
The only one who can pull off the look is Oscar Winner Rock & Roll Jesus.
He’s just so pretty.
Prettiest Jesus ever.
Not as pretty as Jeffrey Hunter’s Jesus.
WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ugh, so when will Coachella stop being a music festival and just be a bunch of celebrities in terrible faux- hippie clothing in the middle of the desert?
Hasn’t that already happened?
Too true
My fashion style has often been described as Wicked Witch Meets Wild Gypsy, and most of the ladies working at the local Free People know me by name. HOWEVER, I think my personal sartorial choices put me in a really good position to say with authority that these people are all batshit crazy.
This made me laugh oh so hard.
http://noisey.vice.com/blog/the-basic-bitches-guide-to-coachella-2014
“How to do Coachella at home, in three steps: Take a bedsheet, Poke arm holes through it. Wear.” Don’t forget, swirl it around your body as you walk so that the crowds will have to part to make way for YOU.Have there ever been so many people in one place with so much money trying so desperately to look cooler than the next person and failing so spectacularly?
Uuuuuggggggghhhhhhhhhhh, Coachella. I know I’m going to sound like a cranky hipster, but back when it was about the music, I so wanted to go. Nowadays, no. No. All of these people are trying way too hard to look like crap. It’s insincere, crap fug. Ridiculous.
What is weird to me are the random festival-goers in the background of many photos looking on in surprise and awe at the “celebrities” being photographed. I mean, do people really recognize who these people are in the sea of other people who look EXACTLY the same? I only knew who about four or five of the people featured (ok, maybe six or seven) even were, but then I am old (40). But even so, except for Leto and Beyonce, it’s not like these people are stars or anything. The Jenner girls? lol Do those security guys have any idea of who they are? Probably not.
Oh everyone looks the same. I miss early Lollapalooza days. *sigh* we probably all looked the same then too, though it couldn’t have been this douchey. Could it?
They probably are looking at them because they’re being photographed, if they don’t recognize them, and thinking, “wait, who’s THAT now?” (This is exactly what happens at Fashion Week, also.)
That’s what I was thinking too. It must be. I bet I could hire a gaggle of photographers to follow me down the street and people would fall all over themselves thinking I was famous or something. Man, I’m totally going to do that! lol
And yeah, I have been involved in fashion week in Amsterdam (not nearly as huge as the main fashion week locations around the world, and with hardly any international celebrities), but you do get people craning their necks to see who’s being interviewed and photographed, but there you know it’s just the Dutch celebrities. lol I have always said I could blindly throw on about ten items in my closet all at the same time, pair it with some whackadoodle shoes and a hat, some neon makeup, and I would have people lining up to take pics of me. Anyone could do this! haha I am too lazy and shy though.
The annual Coachella posts always make my head explode.
I feel like Ive said this all before but it here it goes again: I get the dressing skimpy to stay cool (Vanessa’s shorts and bikini top for example) but then they slap on headscarves and hats and all that jewelry and then a giant bag and then for shit, glue shit on their FACES and then finish the look off with giant ass combat boots. It makes no sense at all. How are they not dying from the heat? When I’m at a music festival I want as little on as possible (but enough to not be obscene of course), no jewelry (sweat!!!), certainly nothing stuck to my face, maybe a hat, a small purse for essentials, sunglasses and a light sweater just in case. How are they comfortable? Are they even watching the shows? I don’t get it.
No one actually watches the shows. Well, maybe a first three rows crushed up against the stage, but that’s because they have no where to go.
I don’t understand this comment at all, except for the people who make it cannot possibly have ever been. There is a lot of STUPID fashion, for sure, but there are also masses of totally normal people who are just dressing to stay cool and go to normal shows. There are 80,000 attendees. Is everyone so cynical that you honestly believe “no one actually watches the shows”? My friends and I averaged 8-10 hours every day watching music this year and we were certainly not alone.
I was obviously being sarcastic, though I am sure there are loads of people who just go for the scene. Believe me, I have been going to music festivals for 20 years specifically for the music. No need to get all worked up about it.
Thank you for confirming for me that I should never, ever, ever go to Coachella; should defriend anyone who does; and should teach these lessons to my children.
To be fair, some people do go there for the free music and not to be photographed looking like homeless hippies!
“He’s in pants, but she’s barely in ANYTHING?”
I find myself saying this way, way too often.
Week of 1000 Hudgens? It’s like a zombie movie where contact with a zombie turns you into one. Replace zombie with Hudgens, and you have Coachella.
EVERYBODY becomes Vanessa Hudgens!
And… I’d be okay with that. It would be a goofily adorable world.
I’d be ok with that too. Better than everyone becomes Gaga. Or Miley. *shudder*
Massengill really ought to have a tent at Coachella.
I will owe you forever for this hilarity!
How sad that Demi has something to be even more sad about then how well Ashton is moving on with is life.
The whole Woodstock wanna be-ness of this is just sad and so out of sync.
Though the pic of the sisters Knowles joyfully dancing together is very sweet.
I actually live about 2 blocks from where Coachella is held, but I never see these people in the wild
My gut reaction to seeing the Biebs: “that guy looks like SUCH. a douchebag.”
he’s just confirming what we already knew.
I just can’t even … having attended many music festivals when I was a young thing, the only things I considered were what was going to protect my feet from the grossness (usually converse) and what would be comfy (usually shorts and a tank or t-shirt and/or a cotton maxi dress). Sunglasses and maybe a sunhat for accessories. It’s hot and dirty and gross … WHY ARE THERE SO MANY FLOWING GARMENTS? WHY SO MANY BIZARRE ACCESSORIES? And the shorts? Dear god, someone needs to stop those shorts before those girls damage their nether parts for good. On second thought … maybe that wouldn’t be so bad.
I voted No, Shockingly – Kate Nash’s clown suit edges out Earring Face by – sorry – a nose.
I *know* I’ve seen Emmy Rossum’s dress before, with the wheat sheaves pattern in a dusty blue, someone taller and possibly an african-american lady. Solange? Angela Bassett? I think I reblogged it to my tumblr, I will try to hunt it out. On whoever and without six other pieces of clothing layered over it, I liked it quite a bit.
Got it – it is Solange and it is NOT the same dress, but the pattern feels similar to me.

Cher is going to be so pissed when she realizes Lorde stole her living room drapes. That’s what her stage outfit looks like to me…
Call me crazy, but I kind of like Paris Hilton’s outfit.
Never mind…I’ll do it myself: “You is crazy, Tony!”
I have so many thoughts I can not even articulate them. So I will try and sum them up– Coachella is the most highly planned fugly fest. You KNOW they spent TONS of time planning all the details of those “outfits”!!
I read that they pay celebrities (like Vanessa Hudgens) to attend and takes some of the authenticity out of it, I think!
Fleet of Douchecanoes !!!! The place is clearly crawling with them. Heather, you rock.
I believe I am officially old when I am not 100% positive what some of these garments actually ARE. CapeJacketRobeSweaterCoverupKaftanDress? SkirtShortsDiaperSarong? UndergarmentShirtTankBathingSuitTopAmISupposedToBeSeeingThis? ScarfHeadbandFaceWrapHatCrownShirtDressBackupGarment? Call me old(school), but if you can’t definitively name a garment, methinks it should stay in the costume department.
THOUGHTS. I have so many thoughts …
Do any of you remember your grandma having a bag under the kitchen sink where she kept rags? They were old clothes that had torn against the seams, had bleach spilled on them, etc., and weren’t wearable, so she tore them up and used them to clean the house? 99% of the “celebs” at Coachella look like they picked their outfits from that bag. Yet there is a studied self-awareness about their look that screams, “I thought very long and hard about these cotton eyelet diapers, random belts, combat boots and one million bracelets when I put them on.” It’s all very self-aware. They aren’t dressing for comfort, they are dressing to make a statement. And to me that statement is, “This is how I think hippies dressed back in the olden days, and I want to make sure people look at me and think I’m super cool.” Horrible. How hard is it to throw on a cute cotton sundress and a pair of sandals?
The only people whom I thought looked decent were Joe Jonas and Lea Michele. I can’t sign off on Rosie’s nightgown-and-ugly-shoes combo, and I don’t like Dianna’s dress — the pattern is ugly and looks faded.
Once again, Coachella reminds me of how old I am. I can’t see the appeal of sweating buckets with a bunch of obnoxious, smelly hipsters listening to crappy live music in the middle of the desert. No, thank you.
I don’t consider Pharrell’s or Lorde’s songs “crappy music”!
Youth is wasted on the young makes so much more sense to me now.
I hope I didn’t look this bad at all the music festivals I went to in the 90s.
Is Kellan Lutz covered in fake tattoos?
Oh lord, I hope so. Some of those were just hideous.
Thats exactly what I thought too!!!
I feel like, no matter how fit you are or how genetically blessed your legs are, short shorts – and sometimes just shorts in general – are not a woman’s friend. In the words of Hercule Poirot / Agatha Christie:
“seen from the back, shorts were becoming to very few of the female sex. Why, oh why, must young women array themselves thus? Those scarlet thighs were singularly unattractive!”
Did anyone else think of Johnny Dangerously and the elephantitus of the balls joke with that pic of Justin Bieber?
Not a bulge I wanted to see.
What is wrong with Solange’s shorts? She looks great.
I’ve worked festivals for several years, shooting a variety of acts, running from stage to stage through a crowd of 100,000 and seen all sorts of crazy stuff. I’ve seen guys with footlong mustaches (and an insane amount of mustache wax), guys dressed up as Jimi Hendrix, girls in full-on go-go drag, real hippies, but, this. THIS. This takes the cake.
Pharrell looks like he’s one key on the ol’ keyring short of losing his shorts. The Jenners are really trying their damnedest to pull attention from their sisters. And, well, the sheer magnitude of wtf-ery of almost everyone else is mind-boggling.
I’m so glad I’ve never been given the Coachella assignment. I think I’d plotz.
A few slides are questioning the GFY-meme of looking better in sunglasses…
Also, from personal experience, if you get TOO happy your pants stay on better.
Ah, the contrast between the genuinely talented and insightful 17 year old Lorde and the Jenner girls. I bet they missed all of the bands as they were too busy changing outfits.
A Skarsgard was also there with his little brother. They are wearing normal jeans and t shirts. How wild!
1. Beiber is wearing the same printed fisherman’s hat/large sunglasses combo that BABIES wear regularly.
2. Love the joy of Solange and Beyonce dancing together. Yay for sisters!
3. Does Courtney Love have a pentagram wire bracelet on her arm?
4. Much love for Diana Aragon. Thank you for keeping it real (as in sane).
Think what you want of her, but Kendall Jenner has a pretty amazing body – any article of clothing that could be as unflattering as those granny panties on her should be banned from the universe.
We need to rename this festival “Fashion Victim 2014.” Why do people try so hard to look “cool” at this thing? Shouldn’t you be more worried about having a good time and listening to the music?
Is that john schlossberg behind Vanessa and boyfriend?
I have only gotten as far as slide 21, and my vote on the first slide being the most ridiculous, is already ‘sweet Jesus, no, not by a long shot’. However, I think perhaps that is a paddle of douchecanoes.
I really like what Emmy Rossum & Dianna Agron are wearing! That’s what I’d wear!
And, of course, I think Jared Leto looks HOT no matter what he’s wearing because he’s AWESOME! So, even though I’ve seen Jared in concert with “30 Seconds to Mars”, if my only chance to ever meet him is by traveling 4,000 miles by plane and going to a music festival in the California desert, I guess I am NEVER going to meet him!
The Paris Hilton slides have morphed her into Jane from Coupling for me. (In an episode about the subtext of everyone’s dialogue her bit was “Let’s all talk about me! Me. Me. Me. Me. ME!)
I… might like her a little bit now. What hath thou wrought?
I had many thoughts perusing this album.
1. I’m pretty sure Vanessa Hudgens lives for this festival. I feel like she spends a significant amount of time searching for the “perfect” clothes, and I feel like (no matter how awful it is) she is really wearing what she wants to wear.
2. Most of these people suck at accessorizing. Especially shoes. It’s a festival, you’re almost naked. Just pair your outfits with a cute pair of sandals or flats. The boots are a bit silly.
3. I go to a local music festival where people do their best to look as hippy as possible. For me it is an opportunity to wear stuff that I would really like to wear all the time, but feel would look silly. I think coachella is a lot of fun for celebrities who get to just wear whatever the heck they want.
Kendall Jenning looks SO MUCH like Kaya from Real World in that picture.
People.. when Kesha is looking less insane than you you’re doing something wrong. That being sad, Lea Michele looks super cute.
Bosworth and Polish look like they’re posing so hard; like they’re illustrating garments for some catalogue.
All hail the Leto, our noble king.
