Coachella 2026 has wrapped, leaving behind a blur of musical performances — Sabrinawood! Bieberchella! — and, as always, unforgettable fashion.
As influencers head home to count their freebies and new brand deals, we assembled a panel of young critics to review the most memorable looks from two weekends in the desert.
Their commentary is blunt, creative and often unintentionally hilarious. To them, comfort was key. They had strong opinions if things looked “itchy” or “hot” — while bright colors were typically a win.
Addison Rae was dubbed “a Twizzler in a bikini,” and Karol G earned a new nickname: “Parrot Girl.” Meanwhile, Teyana Taylor’s futuristic outfit read as “time traveler from another planet” or a — gasp — “murderer,” depending on who you asked.
Our critics pulled no punches with the men too. Joe Jonas was described as “a golfer, but worse,” while Bieber, Iggy Pop and Taemin were straight-up dismissed. (“Dada, enough of that,” said one 4-year-old.)
Without further ado, our pint-sized fashionistas take on Coachella style.
