The 2019 Coachella Outfits That Broke Coachella Style Rules (in the Best Way)
Do you cringe at the term "festival fashion" as much as I do? It's come to be associated with fringe, crochet, and all things boho, but it definitely doesn't have to be that way. Once again, Hollywood has descended upon Indio for Coachella, and this year's celebrity outfits show off a refreshing mix of styles that are anything but cliché.
While Ariana Grande, Janelle Monáe, and Kacey Musgraves will no doubt be showing off stylish on-stage looks, the celebrity attendees are giving them a run for their money in the style department. I scoured photos from both the festival and the jam-packed party circuit, which includes bashes for Levi's, American Express, Rachel Zoe, and more. Oh, and there's also the fourth annual Revolve festival boasting its own performer lineup that includes SZA and 2 Chainz. Feeling the FOMO yet? Scroll down to see the best street style outfits from Coachella 2019—it's basically the next best thing to being there.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
