Montse Lewin, a 28-year-old content creator from Los Angeles, shared a recent video<\/a> on TikTok about her experience hiring a stylist she found on social media to build her music festival look<\/a>. Since its inception in 1999, Coachella has evolved into a haven for content creators, with its signature boho-chic aesthetic shaping festival fashion trends worldwide.<\/p>\n Ahead of attending the first weekend of Coachella, Lewis filled out a form about her clothing preferences and sent a Pinterest board to the stylist for inspiration.<\/p>\n When her outfits arrived in the mail, she wasn\u2019t too thrilled. Her first look featured a range of clashing colors: a sequined dark purple skirt, a gold bikini-style bra, paired with a random leopard print scarf. <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m trying not to have a panic attack right now. I\u2019m trying to breathe,\u201d she said while reviewing the outfits. <\/p>\n She then wore a pair of loose grey pants and a brown belt, both of which were too big for her, with the bra. The next look included a white vintage t-shirt with ill-fitting silver basketball shorts. A fourth look consisted of a pink scarf, worn as a halter top, and a crochet skirt that was see-through. <\/p>\n \u201cThis was such a bad idea, oh my god,\u201d Lewin added. \u201cI was hoping for looks that felt original, fun, and creative\u2026 but instead I ended up with options that just don\u2019t feel like me.\u201d <\/p>\n In the comments of the video, which has more than 5 million views, viewers were shocked by the looks the stylists created, and quipped about how they weren\u2019t the right fit for Coachella<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cIs this a prank?\u201d one wrote, while another added: \u201cPLS PLS PLS TELL ME THIS IS SATIRE.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cBaby, that\u2019s a donation bag, I think,\u201d a third quipped about the clothes as a fourth said, \u201cThese outfits are so tragic omg.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI have never seen anything so bad,\u201d someone else chimed in while another said, \u201cGirl, this is hot garbage.\u201d<\/p>\n While Lewin didn\u2019t disclose how much she paid the stylist, influencer Mei Mei Monstaa said in a TikTok video<\/a> that she had considered doing this too, but chose not to when the booking fee was $8,000. She claimed it would be $5,000 for each outfit from the stylist, who she didn\u2019t mention by name, and that she couldn\u2019t keep the clothes afterwards.<\/p>\n Another influencer named Dayna Marie shared her regret over hiring a stylist to dress her for the festival. In an Instagram video<\/a> with more than four million views, Marie confessed that she gave the stylist full creative control when building the looks. <\/p>\n Marie was ultimately disappointed by what she was sent \u2014 the garments were clashing colors and looked more like pajamas than festival attire.<\/p>\n She was particularly stunned by an outfit that consisted of a yellow, cropped graphic t-shirt paired with a red and white polka dot mini skirt. \u201cYou cannot be for real,\u201d she said. \u201cGuys, I\u2019m going to freaking cry. Are we serious?\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cAnd I already paid for all of this, I own this now.\u201d<\/p>\n Viewers shared their confusion over why so many influencers were hiring online-based stylists. \u201cIs this like a trend? Or did everyone hire bad stylists?\u201d one wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve decided that the \u2018stylists\u2019 styling people this year actually have no fashion sense,\u201d another commented.<\/p>\n![\"Influencer](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SEI292863938.jpeg\")
