We say that Kendall Jenner was the ultimate style chameleon at Coachella 2025. She slayed the eye-catching combination of anti-festival vibes with glam fits. As the creative director for FWRD, she hosted a festival kickoff party, where she welcomed guests to celebrate the upcoming events. This year, she pulled off the full aesthetic with a more grown up — but no less whimsical — approach to festival fashion. She moved from matronly fits to more polished looks.
Throughout the festival, Jenner was known for being in the crowd watching performances, often with her sister, Kylie Jenner and her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet. The sunny California weather certainly didn’t hurt, and the trio enjoyed every minute of it. Kendall slayed in a butter yellow Proenza Schouler cotton midi dress, which she finished off with black shades and The Row’s Dune rubber flatform sandals. This shift was a notable change from past Coachella trends dominated by denim cut-offs and gladiator sandals.
Dani Michelle, Jenner’s stylist, completely slayed her festival wardrobe selection this year. She paired plain black crop tops and denim separates from names including St Agni for a head-turning ensemble. These decisions are a part of Jenner’s overall style progression, as seen by her frequent desire to wear more muted but still chic outfits. The festival also had her taking on different aesthetic styles, from soft glam to edgy baddie, showcasing her versatility in the fashion world.
For a fancier event at the festival, Jenner chose an unquestionably ladylike sandy-toned frock. This beautiful bias-cut number is part of Danish brand Tove’s 2025 resort range. This elegant attire further illustrated her transition from casual festival wear to polished chic outfits that resonate with contemporary fashion trends.
In addition to her festival appearances, Kendall hosted the ‘818 Outpost’ event for her Tequila 818 brand for the third consecutive year. This year’s theme is “1970s Autocamp Soirée.” Festival guests can kick back and relax in a mood-setting, beachy ambiance while experiencing the colorful pulse of the festival. Among all the attendees, her friend Hailey Bieber took the cake in an eye-popping backless black linen mini-dress. Then, she followed up with an even bolder statement by changing into a plunging red vintage Mugler leather corset.
Jenner’s style has gone through major transformations over the past 10+ years of attending Coachella. The first few rounds displayed all the vintage California aesthetics you’d expect, featuring peasant tops and bandanas. This year, the balance has changed completely in favor of a more advanced visual appearance.
