Which celebrities were spotted at Coachella weekend one?
1. Lisa Manobal
Lisa Manobal, or Lisa from Blackpink, has made waves recently with her role starring in The White Lotus season three. However, Lisa also made headlines at Coachella when she performed on 11 April. She performed an almost hour-long set, performing songs like Dream and Chill. Additionally, Lisa’s Blackpink bandmates Rosé and Jennie Kim were in attendance at her set.
K-pop fans were excited and adored the girly reunion.
2. Cara Delevingne
Also attending this week’s festival was model and actress Cara Delevingne. Like Vanessa Hudgens, Delevigne has been hailed as Coachella royalty for her looks in the 2010s.
This year, she made a rare appearance at the festival in a casual look. Back in the 2010s, Delevingne was in attendance with all the models and it girls, and this reminds us that the spirit of Coachella girls’ past is still with us.
3. Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner Coachella PDA
Undoubtedly, one of the biggest celebrity sightings at Coachella 2025 was Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner. The A-list couple has been together since 2023 and has slowly become more public as their relationship has evolved. Jenner accompanied Chalamet to a few award shows this season.
Now the two have added the Palm Springs music festival to their list. The two were not shy about their PDA-filled displays while watching Charli XCx’s performance on 12 April. One X user posted a video of the two at the festival and wrote, “Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner not being able to keep their hands to themselves at Coachella”.
In a solo moment, Jenner also appeared at her pop-up for her vodka soda drink, Sprinter, and stunned in a bright yellow dress.

4. Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber
It’s not Coachella without sponsored stands, and Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber did that at weekend one. Bieber’s beauty brand, Rhode, and Jenner’s tequila brand, 818, collaborated. In the dessert, the ladies had a vending machine designed to allow you to get Rhode lip products and mini 818 bottles in a promotional campaign.
5. Billie Joe Armstrong
Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong wowed fans at the Green Day set, but he made an appearance during The Go-Go’s set beforehand. The band delivered a nostalgic headlining set in their first time at the festival.
6. Paris Hilton
Frequently featuring on the best-dressed celebrities list, Paris Hilton is the queen of the dessert. Not only did the heiress show up in some gorgeous custom looks, she brought the party vibes with a surprise DJ set where she dropped a new remix from her upcoming EP Infinite Icon.
7. Cardi B
Rapper Cardi B was also in attendance at the festival. The rapper wore an all-blue look reminiscent of Britney Spears’ 2001 all-denim American Music Awards look. Although she didn’t perform, she was all smiles at the festival.
7. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt
Reality TV icons Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag were in attendance at week one of the festival. The two, who met on the MTV reality show The Hills, have been married since 2008. In January 2025, they made headlines as they lost their home in the tragic Pacific Palisades fire.
Regardless of their tragedy, Montag and Pratt are back on top, as Montag performed a small set at Coachella, performing some of her pop hits like I’ll Do It with her husband supporting her.
8. Emma Roberts
Emma Roberts showed up in a simple black dress, accessorized by her bright red hair. The actress has attended the festival many times before, each time in different outfits. Back in the day, she wore classic denim shorts and blonde hair combo, but we can’t say we don’t love this chic style evolution.
10. Will Ferrell
Another actor was spotted in the valley, Will Ferrell. Ferrell, who is notoriously lowkey, was spotted in a yellow T-shirt, grey shorts, and sunglasses, walking around the valley. The Elf star was not directly in the crowds at the music sets, but fans could recognize him anywhere.
