Thanks to Jennie, Lisa, Charli Xcx, Enhypen, XG and more performers of Asian heritage, Coachella 2025 was a fashion extravaganza
The 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is in full swing. As the world's largest music festival draws to a close, it's not just the dynamic performances that are forever etched onto our memories—we're also still hung up on all the fashion-forward looks that rocked the stage.
Spanning across two weekends, this year’s line-up featured a remarkable presence of Asian talent. K-pop powerhouses Jennie and Lisa delivered dynamic solo sets whereas boy band Enhypen and South Korea-based Japanese girl group XG made their highly anticipated debut. Filipina-British indie darling beabadoobe, global phenom Charli Xcx who is of Indian descent, Vietnamese-American multi-hyphenate Keshi and Icelandic-Chinese singer-songwriter Laufey also rounded out the impressive roster of Asian artists who claimed the spotlight at the Coachella Valley in style.
From theatrical custom ensembles to American Western-inspired looks, these are Tatler’s picks of the performers of Asian heritage who made a fashion statement at Coachella 2025.
