See how Asian music acts rocked the Coachella stage in their boldest outfits for Weekend 2
Coachella 2022 will definitely go down in history for its stellar (and diverse!) line-up, but we likely won’t forget the outfits we saw anytime soon either.
For Weekend 2, our favourite Asian artists brought their A-game to the stage. We’re talking 88rising singer Niki in a killer leather ensemble, Japanese-American popstar Conan Gray sparkling in a sequin Valentino outfit and Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner looking like a pastel princess in a custom dress by an emerging fashion designer.
In terms of headliners, 2NE1 may have been the best surprise of Coachella during the first weekend, but festival-goers were treated to the US debut of another K-pop girl group on the second weekend: Aespa.
Below, see what the Next Level stars wore for their electric Coachella performance, and how else other acts of Asian descent dressed to impress over the weekend.

Aespa certainly held their own at their Coachella debut and their first-ever performance in the US. The rookie K-pop girl glittered in lavish corset tops, bodysuits and dresses adorned with crystals and pearls, each custom made by South Korean fashion label Dénicheur by Seo Seung Yeon. Fans will likely be reminded of the ornate aesthetic of Aespa’s looks for their Savage mini-album, which were also designed by Seo.
