From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Coachella is the equivalent of Britain’s Glastonbury. It kick-starts the festival season and sees a parade of celebrities and music fans setting the trends that will dominate the fields at festivals this summer.
While many of the style staples stay the same - think fringing, anything suede, denim cut-offs, flat ankle boots, cropped tops (as seen on Gigi Hadid and Bella Thorne) and bohemian dresses (as seen on Alexa Chung) - some more unusual styles are introduced - think Kendall Jenner's longer denim bermuda shorts. Also, gladiator sandals are back - see Jourdan Dunn's look.
Coachella has always been hailed as a fashionista's festival, with all young Hollywood gathered in one dusty desert destination. However, as seen from this gallery, it’s also an opportunity for festival-goers to have their Hollywood moment and show off their tanned legs, bare chests, abs and sometimes even butt cheeks (all in an effort to prove they've been working out hard in the past weeks).
It's not all about music. During the festival, a number of fashion labels take the opportunity to throw private parties with many of Hollywood and fashion's elite all in one place. American handbag brand, Coach, got together the likes of Jourdan Dunn, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and actress Kate Bosworth.
More than the music performances (that Madonna and Drake kiss aside), it’s all about the style at Coachella, and as the second weekend of the highly-anticipated festival approaches here is some inspiration from your favourite stars.
