PinkPantheress delivered a cinematic club set at Coachella on Saturday night, complete with cameos and theatrical elements. Slayyyter made her festival debut on Friday, showcasing songs from her new album Worst Girl in America in a handmade outfit.
PinkPantheress opened her Coachella performance by introducing herself as 'Pink' before launching into 'Illegal', thrilling a large crowd of fans. The British singer, riding high from her 2025 mixtape Fancy That, described the timing as 'surreal, but kinda perfect'. She rehearsed for two weeks with production ideas developed months earlier, featuring cameos from The Dare, HorsegiirL, and Tyriq Withers. 'I wanted people to feel like they went to the theater,' she said of the energetic, chaotic show that included Broadway-style acting, such as dialogue before 'Pain' with dancers Ava and Nerita. Styled in a cobalt blue blazer, baggy jeans revealing a plaid bra top by Coco Fontaine, Miss Claire Sullivan, and custom Victoria’s Secret, she channeled 'cinematic club wear' from her tour, which continues through summer. 100+ fans screamed along to non-singles during Slayyyter's Friday debut, her first time at the Indio, California festival. The rising pop star from Missouri debuted live tracks like 'Beat Up Chanels', 'Dance', and 'Crank' from her album Worst Girl in America, released last month. 'The crowd response to “Crank” was maybe my favorite moment... It felt like the room was shaking,' she said. Slayyyter handmade her Y2K-inspired outfit—a ruffled chiffon top with lace, denim cut-offs, western accessories, and a bedazzled 'Worst Girl at Coachella' trucker hat—just days before. She plans an even more elaborate DIY look for weekend two, along with possible new songs. Kendall Jenner hosted her 818 Tequila pop-up in a minimal cropped white tank, Levi’s shorts, and Ann Demeulemeester boots, later joining Hailey Bieber. Bieber wore a 1998 yellow-gold Christian Dior slip dress, while Kylie Jenner mixed vintage and merch in multiple looks.
