For years, Coachella has followed a familiar pattern, with attention centered on established celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber shaping the narrative.

This year, that pattern shifted. Leah Halton, a 24-year-old from Australia’s Gold Coast, emerged as one of the most talked-about figures during opening weekend.

The festival in Indio still featured major names. Kendall Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian shared moments, while Teyana Taylor and Jennifer Lopez added star power.
