Coachella: Taylor Swift went ultra-blonde, Miranda Kerr brought her billionaire

Coachella snuck up on me. Some years, I’m prepared for the wall-to-wall photos of millionaires pretending to be hippies. Some years, Coachella starts and I’m caught unawares. But every year, I’m mystified as to why the same people go every damn year. Weirdly, Taylor Swift is not one of those people. She dropped by Coachella on Day 1. Of course she had to post a photo of her newly ultra-bleached hair. So far, that’s the biggest news that’s come out of Coachella. So, enjoy these photos from the first weekend.

This year’s Coachella might be perfectly encapsulated by these photos of Miranda Kerr and Evan Spiegel. Miranda is one of the most famous models in the world, and Spiegel is the billionaire founder of Snapchat. But they too can “hang” with the cool kids at Coachella. Spiegel’s even hiding his face, for reasons, dude.

Paris Hilton, man. She’s there every year.

Kendall Jenner looks like hippie Barbie.

Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. You might think, “Hey, why in the world are Rande & Cindy there? Are they conducting a global search for a new pair of couple-friends after George abandoned them?” While that was my first thought, I think Cindy and Rande were just trying to be the “cool parents” who took their kids to Coachella. There are photos of Kaia Gerber floating around, and I feel confident that Cindy was at least acting as the adult supervision.

Brooklyn Beckham is still getting a big “nope” from me. Maybe in a few years, he won’t annoy me so much.

On a scale of 1-10, how annoying do you find Alessandra Ambrosio? She’s an 8.5 to me.

Jared Leto, man. At least his hair looks okay here.

Zoe Kravitz and her boyfriend Twin Shadow – I’m actually surprised that they’re still together. I think they’ve been going out for a while now.

    Literally all of these people are unbearable.

    • Rhiley says:

      Truth!

    • Petee says:

      It’s pretty gross how some of these celeb’s come here.Us locals call them wannabe’s.This festival started out years ago to be something else.On a different note it was incredibly windy here so that’s why people had bandana’s around their face’s.

      • Kimbers says:

        I love seeing how misplaced celebs and yuppy millennials are at coachella. It’s pretty much my xmas! 😀 i prefer a couple of this country’s blues fests over coachella now.

      • gwen says:

        hi another local here. we’re all in this together for the next weekend of the Coachella invasion.

      • Crimson says:

        Petee: Driving through that area (from Phoenix to LA) on Friday, it was so windy I was freaking out on the road. I could see maybe four car lengths in front of me at times – like a snow blizzard, but brown – and I thought of all the people outside at Coachella. Of course, it’s different driving against the wind in a vehicle (a high-profile one at that, ugh), but they had to have been miserable. Breathing in all that dust is just not good. Coachella Valley, Palm Springs area, the wind never quit, with gusts up to 60 mph.

        I live in Arizona and have seen my share of “haboobs,” and this definitely qualified. Whenever I see desert wind that generates dust like this I think of Valley Fever, an illness caused by breathing in a fungus (Coccidioides) that lives in the soil predominantly in the southwestern United States. This illness lingers and is hard to diagnose because it mimics a common URI. I know people who have contracted Valley Fever and they are miserable; there is no cure. On the bright side, it’s not contagious (humans can’t spread it) either.

        I wonder how all the picture-perfect celebs withstood the winds during the festival on Friday and Saturday morning, or did they just stroll outside for pap-walks then return to the safety of the tents?

    • C says:

      Agree. Unbearable and so annoying!

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      I’m about to cry, that’s so true.

    • Ramona Q. says:

      Can you imagine the conversations these insufferable people have with each other? The shallow, entitled, self-absorbed things they must say all day long … Ugh, it’s gross.

      • Wren says:

        Actually I imagine they’d be pretty funny in a certain context. Like, I picture them literally pretending to be hippies and talking about how corporations are destroying the earth and how they’re repressed by The Man. And how the bands are totally amazing and they’re totally feeling the love.

    • Norman Bates's Mother says:

      Yes! And it pains me that there are some really amazing musicians performing at Coachella each year (what I’d give to see this year’s Sufjan Stevens, Bat For Lashes or Lord Huron live), but it’s completely lost on those vapid, self-absorbed posers. I seriously doubt any of them are there to listen to the music (maybe barring Zoe Kravitz).

      • Ann says:

        I don’t think the music is lost on them. I saw a lot of celebs last year during weekend 2 at Kaskade and everyone was having a great time because it is a great time! I’m going next weekend and can’t wait to see some amazing music surrounded by people who are dressed up to have fun! Yeah a lot of it is fug, but it’s also freaking FUN!

      • Liv says:

        I can get over the dresscode. You are probably are not allowed to enter the festival if you’re not wearing shorts and boots. Ugh. The only person who looks authentic is Zoe Kravitz.

      • Ann says:

        Uh, no dress code, just group think happening. These are trends. There is so much great fashion there, you just don’t see pics of the non-celebs who look really cool and interesting. And shorts are kind of a mandate because it’s hot in the desert. Wish there wasn’t so much negative coverage of Coachella because it is such a beautiful good time. I am so SO excited for next weekend!

      • Erinn says:

        I’d love to have the option to see so many cool bands. Honestly – we get next to nothing. People only really come to Halifax (closest major city) once their career is either pretty much winding down, or if they’re still super new to the scene.

        The really cool bands usually only come as close as Ontario or Quebec, the odd one will go to Moncton NB, but it’s rare.

        I’d be down to see Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, Joywave, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, Miike Snow, Of Monsters and Men, Rancid and Volbeat.

      • Liv says:

        The Coachella-look is ridiculous and many look like idiots. I hope the trend goes away, but I can imagine that the festival itself is pretty cool.

    • Me Three says:

      Yes! You nailed it. They’re such fakes. Every year I end up disliking even more of the “beautiful people.”

  2. savu says:

    Cindy Crawford looks better than anybody else, imho. Go girl. You do you.

    • Tate says:

      She looks great.

    • Locke Lamora says:

      I think she looks ridiculous. And I think they were there because her model wannabe daughter wouldn’t get as much notice as she did with them.

      • kai says:

        Her daughter freaks me out. She’s so young and already wants it SO bad. (fame, I mean)

      • Magnoliarose says:

        Ouch but true. Her daughter is pretty but there is something competitive about her parents sending her out on her mother’s coattail at such a young age.
        I still think Cindy’s legs look good.

    • Nike says:

      Zoe’s shoes!!!

      And I love that she dressed for comfort.

      • samab says:

        yeah zoe’s horrible shoes i hope you agree.why girl,why?you just look so hot and they just looks so not.

  3. Aligoat says:

    It’s just a giant costume party.

  4. Loulou says:

    I don’t hate T Swift’s hair. Is that crazy!? I like that she’s edging up her vanilla-ness.

    • Kate says:

      I don’t think she’s pulling it off here, but at least she’s trying something. And anything is better than that botched Anna Wintour bob.

    • Fiorella says:

      I prefer her vanilla hair, it’s more classy this fake blonde is kind of tacky to me

      • Original T.C. says:

        Swifty is looking more tacky and try-hard with each new photo. Feels to me like Calvin is encouraging her to look more like his ex-girlfriend. “Oh baby you look so hot, you could totally pull off skin tight pants and lighter blonde hair!” You know like Kanye trying to turn Kim into Amber Rose.

      • Locke Lamora says:

        I loved her original hair coulour, it was such a nice natural dark blonde. This looks like she came straight from the 80s. I still love the haircut.

    • Pandy says:

      I like it too!

    • Ellie says:

      My poor boyfriend who gets to see more celebrity gossip than he would like had an interesting theory: Taylor is co chairing the Met Gala with Anna Wintour this year. Maybe Anna issued a decree that Taylor get rid of her copycat do before they had to stand right next to each other.

    • Wren says:

      Me too! I like it. It’s interesting without being crazy. I have to admit looking at it made me want to do something with my own hair, not that style or color, but just *something*.

    • minx says:

      I like it too. Different and it suits her.

    • Otaku Fairy says:

      Yes. I like this shade of blonde on her better than her natural hair color with the style she’s been wearing.

    • lucy2 says:

      I think it’s an improvement over her own color, which was looking very washed out in photos. I wouldn’t have necessarily chosen that shade, but I think it’s good she changed it up a bit.

  5. Rhiley says:

    No Vanessa Hudgeons? This is essentially her big red carpet each year.

  6. Elisa the I. says:

    All I can see are Cindy Crawford’s legs, wow! All the others look kind of fake. Also, what is going on with Jared Leto??

    • Luxe says:

      He looks like Jim Carey in this picture, right? If it wasn’t labeled I wouldn’t have recognized him.

    • Size Does Matter says:

      Jared Leto lost the hotness since Joker. It’s awful. At least we have My So Called Life on Netflix.

    • Alix says:

      I wonder why she bothered wearing shorts at all, they’re so high up.

      Also: does Zoe Kravitz always have to look so miserable?

    • Tulip Garden says:

      I think Cindy and her husband and Zoe and her boyfriend all look good. Not costume dressing which is so 🙄 At a certain point which everyone else seems to have zoomed right past into douche-wear.
      Maybe swift is okay but I can’t see her outfit.

      • Me Three says:

        Have to disagree on Cindy. I think she looks good for someone who’s spent most of her life getting skin care and plastic care but she looks as dressed in a costume as the rest. Zoe looks like she’s wearing her regular get up, not the fake hippie gear. Makes me sad that Coachella has turned into a playground for the rich and vapid. I was lucky enough to go a few years after it started, before Paris Hilton and her friends descended on the festival. It was great! The music was amazing. Lots of new bands, old timers too. I’d love to see Sufjan this year but it costs too much and my stomach couldn’t handle all the posers there now!

    • Michelle says:

      Jared looks like Kim K.s annoying friend, Jonathon.

  7. LizLemonGotMarried says:

    Good for Cindy and Rande for at least attempting to supervise their child.

    • Kate says:

      She’s 14. The other celeb kids there are all at least 17. Of course her parents are there, she’s a child.

      • LookyLoo says:

        Willow and Jaden go alone. So, yeah, kudos to Cindy Crawford for being a parent.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        “Of course her parents are there?” You’re kidding, right? Of course her parents SHOULD be there, but this is a Hollywood crowd.

      • Goats on the Roof says:

        I refuse to give people credit for stuff they’re SUPPOSED to do. Congratulations, Cindy, you’re not a total f*ck up as a parent.

      • swak says:

        Can someone tell me is it normal for those under 18 (just because 18 is considered an adult) to attend Coachella? I honestly know nothing about Coachella and from what I see it’s not a place for teens. Also, are they really there for the music? I saw a list a bands just for this weekend and it seems like indie bands that they would have no idea of who they are.

    • Tiffany says:

      Victoria goes with Brooklyn.

  8. Magnoliarose says:

    Alessandra is a 9.5. She is giving us a tutorial on why certain looks don’t even work on skinny pretty people. Those shorts are all kinds of hell no. I guess those two blondes are her model wonder twin bodyguards.
    Too much trying to make Brooklyn happen. Why at this point should I care about him? He’s done nothing.
    Paris looks like a naughty Victorian funereal time traveler.

    So much hippy trauma here. They all look ridiculous except maybe Cindy and Rande. They just look like chaperones who want to blend in a little while keeping an eye on their offspring. Her legs are gorgeous.

    • SKF says:

      I went to Coachella in 2012 and I just don’t get the hippy chic. It’s so wannabe and pathetic. Honestly, there are so many other festival fashions people could wear and yet they all pull this out and they all look the same as each other. I wore my own style (it was mostly freezing that year, I wore the warm clothes I had!!) and people from fashion blogs kept stopping me to take my photo. We counted, it happened 14 times! Unfortunately I am a sh*t poser and look so awkward when I try to do that! Ha ha! That has never happened to me anywhere else, I honestly just think I stood out to them because I wasn’t dressed like a wannabe hippy! Ha ha! It looks so much better when people wear their own style – just appropriately adjusted for a party in a field.

      Funnily enough, Taylor stands out for not dressing like a hippy. She’s rocking the 80s rocker look and she looks good! Cindy looks great (even with the fringing) and Zoe looks comfy and has the most ridiculously beautiful face. Everyone else looks ridiculous and weirdly similar.

      • CharlotteCharlotte says:

        Okay, so I did a quick google of coachella 2012, and came across someone looking so cute, posing adorably and awkwardly in their animal prints, and describing their style as “warm”. Could this be you?

      • SKF says:

        Ha ha ha!!!! Really??? Possibly? I think I was wearing a long leopard print hoodie with my leather jacket for the two cold nights.

        Let’s see… I just saw the photos come up in my Facebook memories!

        First day I wore my black jeans, an old black motorcycle t-shirt that belonged to my friend’s dad, my mums old red cowboy boots, my long leopard print hoodie and black leather jacket.

        Second day I wore black leather-look leggings, a long khaki t-shirt, my hoodie and jacket again, black motorcycle-ish boots and I think I had black (non-hippie-style) flowers in my hair.

        Third day was hot so I wore something weather appropriate.

  9. cocoa.x says:

    Wow…Zoe Kravitz is literally wearing the same outfit and fit of clothes as her boyfriend and she is still stunning.

    • Samtha says:

      And she’s dressed pretty appropriately, instead of looking like she went to the hippie costume shop for her outfit.

    • Who ARE these people? says:

      And her boyfriend looks like a normal person, too. I hope he is.

    • Danielle says:

      I love that she went for comfortable instead of hippy sex pot like all the others. She looks gorgeous.

    • ichsi says:

      Totally agree on the outfit but is it just me or does she look even tinier than usual? Or is it just the baggy clothes?

  10. Nancy says:

    Taylor’s hair is a tad too blonde, but I like the shorter cut. Paris Hilton WTF! Cindy Crawford of course is beautiful, perfect, etc., but daisy dukes, really. I guess she can get away with it at age 50. Miranda Kerr is very pretty, a dimple without smiling and looking fab in shades. Zoe was born too late, she makes a perfect hippie. This event isn’t what it used to be…..I know I’d skip it.

  11. Allie May says:

    I love Zoe Kravitz’s shoes. I wonder where she got them?

    • detritus says:

      1990 at a Spencer’s gifts

    • SydneySnider says:

      I love Zoe’s shoes, too, Allie May! That style is pretty much all I wear, and I’d love to have some silver ones…

    • CharlotteCharlotte says:

      Zoe’s shoes look like SJP’s line. She’s been shilling them pretty hard lately, making appearances at Bloomingdales to help people shop.

      • Crimson says:

        Zoe’s shoes look like a pair of dancer’s shoes … a practical heel that she can run, dance, stomp, and comfortably walk in.

  12. Jayna says:

    I looked at all the photos of celebs on DM and now here, and I was disgusted. How cringeworthy. They are in designer duds looking like faux hippies and loaded with jewelry also. This is all about being seen and photographed and wearing a style of designer clothes they never wear, just a designer version of what they think is festival hippie chic and some in ridiculous shoes to be waking around at a festival all day. I truly am embarrassed for them all. Guess what, Woodstock was authentic. The concert-goers dressed how they usually dressed for a concert. That was their style back then. It was organic. Nothing about these celebs going to Coachella in their designer hippie duds is organic. Just one big look at me, look at me. They are ridiculous. The non-celeb concert-goers must be rolling their eyes at them.

    What happened to being there for the music? Zoe Kravitz showed them all up. She was there to hear music and was effortlessly cool.

    • Nancy says:

      I agree Jayna. This used to be one of the coolest events around and now it’s a fashion show of pretend hippies. I said above Cindy Crawford looked pretty but really if I was her daughter I’d be screaming mom take off my short shorts and go home!

    • Goats on the Roof says:

      A few years ago, Kate Bosworth gave an interview talking about how she and her stylist put together outfits for Coachella because it’s a way to be seen and photographed, so this isn’t something new. It’s gross, though.

      • Bridget says:

        At this point a lot of celebs are paid to be there, with different sponsors and what not.

    • Magnoliarose says:

      Pretty much what makes this charade absurd is everything you said. Zoe always looks like this. The others are on a hippy runway.

  13. Stef Leppard says:

    Evan Spiegel thinks he’s going into the mosh pit.

  14. Jaded says:

    The photo of the 3 models made me snort my coffee – if only they knew how ridiculous they looked. Somewhere behind them lurks Leo D, sniffing for their trails like a bloodhound.

  15. InvaderTak says:

    If you want your music fan credibility shot to heck, Coachella is the way to do it. It’s the haven for the advanced level posers.**

    **I know, I sound like a snob but I’m fine with that.

    • Magnoliarose says:

      No you sound like a reasonable person. It’s lost whatever it had over 10 years ago. It is a poser nightmare.

    • Izzy says:

      I just call it the Annual Booze and Blowfest. And by blow, I mean the white powdery stuff.

      • Crimson says:

        Lol, yeah, not the high desert winds.

        InvaderTak: You are correct. My son attended six years ago and that was it for him. He found it too contrived.

  16. Freelovingspirit says:

    My personal favorite is the guy giving Kendall Jenner (or the person taking the photo?) two birds. Hysterical.

  17. Jacqueline says:

    The guy flipping off Kendall really nailed it. Lol

    • Danielle says:

      I thought he was one of her crew and flipping off the camera. Which is ridiculous. She is dressed like that to get her picture taken. Have to admit she looks gorgeous. The twin buns are adorable.

      • VirgiliaCoriolanus says:

        If she’d left off that ridic jewelry, I think her outfit would’ve been cute.

    • kai says:

      The skinny, bare legs next to him/behind him belong to Cindy Crawford’s 14-year old daughter. I’m suprised her outfit wasn’t mentioned in the article.

  18. CornyBlue says:

    Zoe Kravitz looks the best and she is wearing the most sensible clothes.

  19. Tate says:

    Paris looks like an idiot.

  20. grabbyhands says:

    Zoe Kravitz is the only one who looks like she actually dressed for comfort. Weird, it’s almost like she’s there to hear the music and not have her picture taken every five minutes.

    Well, I guess I will give a pass to Jared Leto and even Miranda Kerr and her beau-they all look they’re wearing stuff that would lat the day even if they only pretend to be watching the show with the plebs instead of from some air conditioned tent.

    Everyone else make me want to slap them. I guess we’ve been spared any headdresses or bindis this go round. Still, one more weekend to go-I’m sure someone will feel compelled to show their ass sooner or later.

  21. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    Everybody has said what I wanted to say – annoying, fake, etc. I will say, I like Miranda’s outfit.

  22. Sarah says:

    Looks wise Jared Leto is giving me a Jonathan Cheban vibe here. I feel like running up to Jared and telling him “Your 44, stop with the 20 year old girlfriends”. Him and Leo think it makes them appear younger, instead it makes the age more noticeable.

  23. Bettyrose says:

    Does Kendall Jenner have a body guard and an entourage if dbags flipping off the paps? Or is the tool flipping her off?

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      It looks like he’s flipping off the person taking the picture, to me. As if he was sooo tired of the paps following him. Except they’re not.

      • bettyrose says:

        But GNAT, he’s part of an entourage. He’s been chosen. He’s in the in crowd. Women want him and men want to be him. And his life is being torn apart by the constant attention and fan obsessions.

  24. Lucy says:

    Zoe and her bf are the only ones who look normal/good here, considering the fact that, out of all these people, only them (or at least her) dress hippie-ish on their every day life. Also, I’m really surprised at how the festival wasn’t shoved down our throats at all this year. I didn’t even realize it had started until the second day, and I have barely seen any pictures from it.

    • Liberty says:

      Agreed re Zoe. And is it me, or does Coachella seem realllllllly kind of extra tired this year? Like a television programme lasting two seasons past good. Maybe the celeb flocks will start to depart and the festival can return to being more naturally great.

      • Nimbolicious says:

        Yep, this whole thing jumped the shark, like, three years ago.

      • bettyrose says:

        So it’s okay for me to point out that I recognize, like, no one in the lineup? I’ve never been into music festivals, but there’ve been plenty of years when Coachella’s lineup included 1 or 2 groups I really love and would kill to see at a regular show.

  25. Original T.C. says:

    I find Brooklyn Beckham even more annoying than the Smith kids. Yes their parents are trying to buy careers for them but at least the Smith kids stay in their lane of age appropriate career buying in fields requiring no education . The fact that Brooklyn Beckham has no qualifications or training to speak of and has been bought a career as a professional photographer really boils my blood.

    That is a job with ADULTS who either have received formal post secondary education or years and years of self training and internship to get. And people with exceptional artistic vision. Brooklyn is just a flighty teenage rich kid who is “trying out” the profession for fun. Completely unqualified.

    • Crimson says:

      Original T.C. – Yes, BB reminds me of my son who chose Photography as his elective for a few semesters in high school. He had excellent instruction, a fail-proof camera, and a bit of creativity that was uniquely his own. He managed to take some superb photos for his assigned work then branched out a bit on his own. Never in a million years would I presume he could jump from there to the professional-level without putting in the time and work required. Hah, BB’s parents feel differently. Just pray it’s a passing phase – he’s young.

  26. CFY says:

    I went to Coachella throughout the mid to late 00s and it’s sad to see what it’s become now. I remember camping on the grounds with a tent and the big celeb sighting was Danny DeVito and Perry Farrell would also find a way to perform. Then my last year I ran into Lilo, Misha Barton, and Kate Bosworth. That year was fun but also just felt different 🙁 I don’t think I could ever go back, not least because I’m in my mid 30s now and hanging out in the desert for five days isn’t my idea of a good time anymore.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Anything with Porto potties is a no thanks from me.

    • Magnoliarose says:

      I went back in the day too and now it looks like a huge miserable pap opportunity. Complete with bad clothes and boring bands. I’m now in my thirties and the whole mess makes me exhausted to think of it. 2009 and I was done.

    • Ann says:

      So much Coachella hate from my celebrity gossip sites. It’s a bummer. I’m going next weekend and I cannot wait. I went for the first time last year at 30 and knew it’d be a part of my life going forward. It’s such a great time! I get how people who haven’t been might think all it is celebs walking around but for people who have been, how could you ever come to not love it? It’s the best time I’ve ever had!

      • Ryan says:

        Agreed, Ann. I’ve been going since ’04 (save for ’12 &’13), and I used to see celebrities all the time, but the past few years, I haven’t seen any. They’re like needles in haystacks. The ones who go just to get their picture taken usually stay sequestered in the VIP zoo. They’re easily avoidable. The REAL douchebags at this festival are the no-names with zero concert etiquette.

        Alessandra Ambrosio will always get a pass from me because we crossed paths in a bathroom in the VIP area (full of a-holes) when I was looking and feeling very rough, and she gave me a very sweet, genuine smile.

      • Ann says:

        Thank you Ryan! Some Coachella love for a change. All the celebs I saw last year were really nice, including Paris and the Jenners. Pretty much everyone there is nice and in a good mood the whole weekend. I was anyway, maybe that’s why I had so much fun!

      • Chicken says:

        My sister, a lovely, stylish 20-something – so basically the target demo – went last year and hated it. Will never go back. I’m 32 and I only go to festivals now that I can easily walk to and from (but I live smack downtown in a big city, so a lot of festivals make the cut).

      • what says:

        “The ones who go just to get their picture taken usually stay sequestered in the VIP zoo.” BUT Alessandra was there and she will always get a pass from you? She is there because she wants to be seen. Well… I can see it was a bad day.

      • Ryan says:

        What (what?): What don’t you understand? She goes to be seen, but I had a mildly positive experience running into her, so I don’t see her as off-the-charts annoying. It’s pretty simple.

      • what says:

        It’s not hard to understand. But it’s sad.

    fringe booties, check, fringe vest, check, “hippie” hat, check, super tiny shorts, check, layers of “hippie” Native looking necklaces, check, round sunglasses, check,

    well the costume is ready, now let’s pretend we came here to listen to “music”

    btw, Kanye was performing at Coachella this year, that’s enough for me to know this isn’t a real music festival that it used to be 10+ years ago

    Zoe Kravitz looks comfortable and cool but the others look like a bunch of fools. Taylor will need a deep conditioner after that dry desert air. I even saw a photo of one of those House wives BH?? I wonder if half know whicy bands are playing.

  29. SM says:

    I don’t understand. These people are not hippies and it’s not a hippie music festival, why the hell are they all dressed like that?!!

    OMG! Kendall looks just like mommie. Spitting image. This photo is hilarious.

    Does anyone remember this Jimmy Kimmel doing a spoof on musical posers at Coachella several years ago? It’s so funny, asking concert-goers at Coachella about fake bands, and they rave about them.

    Zoe’s resting face, at least as snapped in public, is serious, but if you see her in interviews or videos made by her or her friends/bandmates, she is animated, engaged, warm, funny, smart.

    The vibe *I* get off of her and boyfriend George Lewis Jr aka Twin Shadow is that they are deeply in love and connected. I think this relationship has legs.

    And I too love her silver mary-janes!

  33. Ryan says:

    I’m a little surprised there’s no mention of Aaron “Pay Me Thousands to Attend Coachella” Paul (who I really do love, but come ON!) shilling McDonald’s at Coachella.

  34. Kelly says:

    They all look like such a$$holes trying to be so hippie. At least Zoe looks the most normal and not trying so hard. Jared Leto just does not age at all. I wish he wasn’t such a douche.

    Miranda Kerr and Snapchat Evan make me stabby. I know many people think she’s incredibly attractive, but all I see is clingy chipmunk. And him? He seems like the WORST type of status-obsessed, frat fart. That whole crew makes me stabby — the John Mayer, Ricky Van Veen, Allison Williams squad. They just ooze obnoxious; they’re the type of people who pat themselves on the back for being “SO SMART”, but in reality they’re just sheltered, privileged snobs who benefited from their parents ability to send them to fantastic schools since pre-K. Yes, yes, they all worked hard to achieve their acclaim — and they’ll be the first person to tell you how hard they worked, and how they never ever never were handed anything on a silver platter, and how they never benefited from the genetic lottery….and how Ayn Rand is their idol. Ugh.

    I used to think Brooklyn seemed kinda sweet, but I wish he would head back out of the limelight. I just cannot get excited about Cindy’s daughter. It is all too thirsty. She is very pretty, but no replacement younger Cindy. Yes it is nice Cindy and Rande were there to supervise, but it is all part of the grand plan. Unfortunately for Cindy I think Caitlyn Jenner modelled herself on her and now that is all I see.

  37. Dangles says:

    Seems like the place to be seen for the mainstream luminaries. No self respecting hipster would be caught dead there.

  38. eleri says:

    uh when i was a young un i went to lollapalooza (sp?) all the time and sure i wanted to see and be seen but i was a hardcore music fan. wasn’t anyone EVER young and dumb or was everyone authentic already? at a bjork concert recently i was on the older side and the young uns were silly but isn’t that the joy of it????

  39. Otaku Fairy says:

    Tried to see if there was any outfit I liked the best, but I don’t really like any of them. Kendall’s hairstyle with the necklace is cute though.

  40. what says:

    Miranda Kerr was there? I remember when she said she doesn’t like Coachella and festivals like this. And I thought… She is an attention seeker, but at least she doesn’t like Coachella. But look at her!

    “On a scale of 1-10, how annoying do you find Alessandra Ambrosio? She’s an 8.5 to me.” Only 8.5? I can’t stand this attention seeker. This Z-list model is nothing without her pap pics.

    • lucy2 says:

      She needs to parade her billionaire around because Katy and Orlando have been so public.

  41. Snowpea says:

    We have the same thing here in Australia – Splendour in the Grass. Oh my god, I go there because I’m a stall holder but the amount of chicks with fringed suede vests, tan bags, daisy chains around the head and muddy Wellington boots is unreal. Sooooo predictable and for the most part they’re all rich kids.

    Cringe.

  42. missmerry says:

    everybody looks the damn same every year.

    Ambrosio…who even cares anymore. that outfit is so dated, she could have worn that the past 7 years and I wouldn’t be able to tell the pictures apart.

    This whole music festival thing has honestly just been ruined by fashion and corporate sponsorship (or, I guess, celebs-being-sponsored-to-be-seen-there).

  43. what's inside says:

    Typical – take a really good thing and run it into the ground with the posers and wannabes. Damn shame.
