It's that time of the year. The one annual event that has everyone living vicariously through Instagram influencers has once again come back around. It's Coachella time, peeps, and the FOMO is mega heightened for this is its first year back since the pandemic began...
Over the past few years (minus the latest where it was cancelled), the celeb-studded festival has carried lewks from the likes of Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and even YouTube sensation, Emma Chamberlain. But the one A-lister that really has us #sliving this year is our favourite '00s icon, Paris Hilton.
And with the UK's festival szn right around the corner (a couple of months will go by in the blink of an eye, trust me), we're advising you to take note.
With three days of frolicking in the Californian desert, there came three epic looks. On day one, Paris opted to wear her hair in a half-up half-down space bun 'do. And it worked so well the first time that she sported the hairstyle again on day three. Like I keep telling you: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The reality star has finished off the intergalactic look with some loose wavy curls and a sculpted side-part fringe. I mean, you're not doing Coachella right if you're not serving the draaaama. Now, this wouldn't be a Paris Hilton look without some crystals or butterflies, would it? Of course, the star has bejewelled the look with a starry headband crown for day and some cute-as-ever butterfly clips for evening. It's giving desert Goddess realness 👸🏼.
It's time to get practising, for we only have T-minus two (ish) months to perfect our festival hair looks. Pinterest boards at the ready.
