Behind the creation of the festival\u2019s most iconic and outrageous costumes \u2013 from wardrobe malfunctions to insider tips and viral sensations. Lisa recently had a broken corset strap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The K-Pop superstar and White Lotus cast member was waiting to greet fans at her Los Angeles hotel, but one wrong step outside her suite, and suddenly it wouldn\u2019t have been a photo opportunity \u2013 it would have been a serious wardrobe malfunction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI always put a back-up corset in the Uber with me,\u201d Genesis Webb, the fashion director for pop star Chappell Roan and one of Lisa\u2019s main style advisors, tells the BBC. \u201cIt\u2019s the number one rule of styling a music artist: anything can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As artists like Lisa, Lady Gaga and Charli XCX descend on the Palm Springs desert for Coachella\u2019s 26th annual Music and Arts Festival, they bring with them an elite team of creative directors and fashion experts whose visual creations can make or break their performances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow an artist dresses at Coachella can be a monumental tool for establishing their identity, or reinventing themselves,\u201d says Tom\u00e1s Mier, a Rolling Stone music critic and staff writer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLook at what Sabrina Carpenter was achieving last year onstage. The babydoll dresses, the big blonde hair, the pastels \u2013 using that iconography onstage was impactful in creating a global hit, which created her career as a pop star.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, says Mier, an unfocused or \u201cchaotic\u201d outfit can lead to online mockery, or worse: \u201cIf people don\u2019t want to look at you onstage, they\u2019ll just stop paying attention. That\u2019s the kiss of death for a pop star\u2019s career.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For emerging artists aiming for stardom, getting fashion right can have immediate benefits. Witness Chappell Roan, who arrived at last year\u2019s Coachella festival as an underground indie singer and left a newly crowned star. \u201cShe had a cult following, but she wasn\u2019t mainstream by any means,\u201d says Webb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe knew audiences still had to \u2018meet\u2019 her, and we knew that style could help define her to the world.\u201d Webb commissioned the California costume shop Jackalope Land to make a giant beaded butterfly suit for the singer, which soon became a viral sensation. \u201cEverybody knew who she was after that. People still wear the butterfly outfit as a Halloween costume. That\u2019s how you know you\u2019ve done your job.\u201d (BBC)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
