For what seems like my entire adult life, I’ve scrolled through slideshows of celebrities in peasant tops, denim cut-offs, long dresses, crop-tops, maybe some sort of headgear, like a baseball cap or a thin scrap of suede—in short, how I imagine H&M would prefer the entire world population dress at all times. And the headlines would always inform me that this is “Coachella,” and I never dreamed that it could be so much more.
That is, until I saw pictures this morning of Rihanna, who slipped a shimmering crystal body suit beneath her more typical concert-faring outfit Saturday night, and uplifted the fashion sense of the festival immeasurably. Rihanna isn’t even performing at Coachella and she still showed up everyone there.
