Music and art festivals like Coachella are a playground for bold, expressive fashion statements—and every year, it’s a front-row seat to the season’s most daring style moments. Among the festival’s many attendees, Asian celebrities showed up in full force this weekend, bringing their A-game to the California desert. From Filipino beauty queens to K-pop royalty and Thai it-girls, here’s a look at who wore what at Coachella.
Kylie Verzosa
The Filipino beauty queen and entrepreneur kicked off her Coachella Weekend 1 in a sheer superdown maxi dress, cinched with an oversized statement belt, and chain accessories—sultry and bohemian in tone. On the second day, she leaned into playful summer vibes with a blue-and-white checkered set, Louis Vuitton Neo Revival Mules, and a Miu Miu Beau leather bag. Verzosa ended the weekend in a breezy linen tie-front top, white ruffled shorts, black Golden Goose knee-high boots, and a black Chanel 25 handbag—an outfit that balanced ruggedness and romance.
On Weekend 2, Verzosa donned a sheer white dress and cream cowboy boots, and a brown statement belt sat on her hips. Matching her belt was a brown Miu Miu Aventure bag. She wrapped up her Coachella in a black, sultry cutout Nana Jacqueline dress and a stack of bangles.
BLACKPINK’s Lisa, Jennie, and Rosé
Three of the BLACKPINK girls returned to the desert as soloists but shared sweet moments offstage—giggles, hugs, and head-turning outfits.
The Thai idol lit up the stage with four outfit changes for her Coachella Weekend 1 performance: a textured gray bodysuit, a graphic mini skirt and top combo set, a glowing butterfly-inspired piece, and a bold red-and-chrome set that radiated power. During Jennie’s performance, Lisa sported a black scoop-neck long-sleeved top, dark-wash denim jorts, a Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami belt, black knee-high boots, and a red bag with fringe features.
Of course, Lisa kept the same energy for her performance on Weekend 2. She brought out a red version of the reptile-like bodysuit, a bedazzling silver set, the same butterfly-inspired ensemble, and black top and bottoms set adorned with colorful gems..
For her so-called Jenchella stage on the first weekend, Jennie went full-on femme fatale in a ruby snakeskin co-ord, complete with triple ruby belts, a red cowboy hat, and suede knee-high boots. Her return to the desert was as bold as her music—unapologetic and certainly unforgettable.
The Ruby artist returned to the desert the next weekend in a black RTA Jonah jacket, gray pants, and black cowboy boots. In true desert fashion, she accessorized with classy black shades and a scarf, covering the lower half of her face. Bold, edgy, and certainly a headturner.
Rosé, on the other hand, kept it effortlessly cool. On the first day of Weekend 1, she slayed in a silver sequined top, sandy acid-washed pants, and black combat boots. To Jennie’s performance, Rosé sported a cropped Puma Emirates jersey, brown trousers, a matching belt, and a cap—laid-back but never boring.
Liza Soberano and Aon Somrutai
In a surprise fashion crossover, Filipino actress Liza Soberano and the Thai personality behind the viral phrase ‘Thank you, Kateyki’ Aon Somrutai both turned heads at Coachella, serving fun, summer ensembles together and individually.
On the first weekend, Soberano embraced boho romance in a white bralette, cream corset, intricately laced skirt with crisscross belts, and cream cowboy boots. She ended the weekend in a dreamy L’Academie by Marianna lace maxi dress, styled with a rope necklace from 8 Other Reasons. Two days, two distinct takes on the modern bohemian style.
On the second weekend, the actress returned in an intricate patchwork dress in white and nude, adorned with rings. She paired the dress with suede boots and gold accessories, channeling a desert goddess.
The socialite Somrutai brought major energy on the first day with a pink bikini under a Lovers and Friends Torin maxi dress, finished with a gold chain belt. Day two saw her in an embellished butterfly top from h:ours, a ruffled miniskirt from MORE TO COME, and a fringe leather jacket—boho with bite. Her grand finale was a shimmering Pipatchara mini dress made of recycled bottle caps, brown combat boots, and a matching beaded bag. Sustainable and sparkling!

Steph Hui
The Hong Kong beauty and fashion content creator started the first weekend in full Prada: a white guipure floral top and miniskirt, ribbed jersey trousers, and a cheetah-print Arqué bag. On the second day, she sparkled in a beaded top doubling as jewelry, paired with a denim maxi skirt and oversized hoop earrings. By the third day, she embraced full-on wet-look drama: a neon pink bra in full view, brown knee-high boots, and a Miu Miu matelassé hobo bag—provocative, playful, and desert-appropriate.
Maureen Wroblewitz
On the first weekend of Coachella, the Filipino-German model served quiet glamour with a yellow swimsuit under a sheer white dress, accessorized with a gold chain belt and a white bandana. On the second day, Wroblewitz opted for vintage lingerie chic—thrifted lace, pink ribbon details, a low-rise black skirt, and a rose choker. She ended her Coachella weekend with a cream lace tank top adorned with floral decals, a white skirt, a brown belt, a dainty choker, and brown cowboy boots—delicate, feminine, and festival-ready.
For Weekend 2, Wroblewitz stunned in a dark brown maxi dress with a halter neckline, cinched at the hips with a simple chain-linked belt. Minimal, yet she exuded a mesmerizing mirage in the California desert.
Ylona Garcia
Contrary to the usual bohemian aesthetic, the Filipino-Australian singer brought a bold, edgy vibe in an all-black ensemble on the first Coachella weekend. She wore a sleek, form-fitting bodysuit paired with wide-leg cargo pants and chunky sneakers, topped off with a Bottega Veneta Jodie bag. Keeping accessories minimal, she opted for a black smartwatch and a rose gold Hermès ring, letting her confident silhouette do all the talking.
Niana Guerrero
Her Coachella debut on Weekend 2 was nothing short of memorable. The Filipino dancer slayed the stage in a Louis Vuitton denim shirt, wide denim pants, classy black boots, a denim Louis Vuitton bucket hat, and a classy Pochette Tirette on her shoulder. She definitely celebrated her debut with her own style.
Coachella is more than just a music festival—it’s a celebration of self-expression through fashion. Whether going bold, bohemian, or borderline theatrical, these Asian stars made their mark in the desert.
