Coachella Fashion Uncovered: The Good, the Bold, and the Boho-Bizarre

If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Coachella, it’s that it’s as much about fashion as it is about music. The festival has become a sartorial playground for celebrities, models, and fashion enthusiasts worldwide.

In 2014, we saw a variety of maxi dresses, denim cutoffs, fedora hats, statement shirts, eclectic prints, sunglasses, flower crowns, flat sandals, sneakers, cowboy boots, flesh-baring outfits, and bindis.

Some of our favorite stylish stars, such as Camilla Belle, Kate Bosworth, and Coachella regulars Alessandra Ambrosio and Vanessa Hudgens, flaunted their festival fashion as they frolicked in the desert and basked in the California sun. Take a look at what they wore during the first weekend of Coachella:
