Coachella 2025: Jennie, Lisa and other Asian performers make powerful fashion statement
The 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is in full swing. As weekend 1 draws to a close, it's not just the dynamic performances that are forever etched onto our memories—we're also still hung up on all the fashion-forward looks that rocked the stage.
Spanning across two weekends, this year’s line-up featured a remarkable presence of Asian talent. K-pop powerhouses Jennie and Lisa delivered dynamic solo sets whereas South Korean boy band Enhypen made their highly anticipated debut at the world’s largest music festival. Filipina-British indie darling beabadoobe, global phenom Charli Xcx who is of Indian descent, and Vietnamese-American singer-songwriter and producer Keshi also rounded out the impressive roster of Asian artists who claimed the spotlight at the Coachella Valley in style.
From theatrical custom ensembles to American Western-inspired looks, these are Tatler’s picks of the performers of Asian heritage who made a fashion statement at Coachella 2025 weekend 1.
