While \u201cBeliebers\u201d and \u201cNon-Beliebers\u201d debate the merits of Justin Bieber\u2019s performance<\/a> at Coachella in Southern California on the weekend, the real issue at the long-running music festival is not how people sound but how they look.<\/p>\n

In a cropped white singlet and denim cut-offs, Kendall Jenner has been the best-dressed person off-stage, and that\u2019s a problem.<\/p>\n

In the roped-off A-list sections, away from the livestreaming hordes wearing flimsy skirts and tops that look as though they could appear in a search on Shein for \u201cCoachella\u201d, Kendall\u2019s stripped-back style is as ubiquitous as cowboy boots at the Laneway Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The only reason that the supermodel stands out in the bleached basics is because she\u2019s a supermodel. Kendall could make a belly chain look desirable.<\/p>\n

Instead, that task was left to her beauty entrepreneur sister Kylie Jenner, in the other Coachella clothing staple, a ruffled romantic top with a plunging neckline, while oldest sister Kourtney Kardashian covered off the barely there lace dress category.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s as predictable as the contoured make-up and considered, carefree-looking hairstyles. The inspiration appears to be a Pinterest mash-up of Zendaya in Euphoria<\/a>, \u201990s Calvin Klein advertisements, and visits to gifting tents.<\/p>\n

Since tie-dye and crochet tops spread from Woodstock<\/a> to the wardrobes of the world in 1969, music festivals have influenced streetwear trends and luxury designers. In 2005 Kate Moss inspired a generation to wear Hunter gumboots, waistcoats and hotpants, or a slinky dress with a leather jacket, at Glastonbury in the UK.<\/p>\n

It was more rock \u2019n\u2019 roll, less manufactured and less camera-ready. Moss looked like she\u2019d just rolled out of a tent, while Kendall\u2019s flawless appearance at Coachella suggested that she had been carried in a palanquin from a make-up studio.<\/p>\n

A decade ago, Coachella felt less like an exercise in accumulating TikTok followers and sponsorship deals. High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens reigned as the event\u2019s unofficial style leader<\/a> in 2012, adopting a sunny and sanitised take on Moss\u2019s boho Cool Britannia style, accessorising with flower crowns instead of cigarettes. So what went wrong?<\/p>\n

The Kardashian\/Jenners are not completely to blame for style sameness at Coachella, with luxury labels increasingly starring alongside musical acts.<\/p>\n

Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s stylist, Jared Ellner, tapped creative director Jonathan Anderson<\/a> to create four custom Christian Dior looks for the Manchild singer\u2019s set, turning the Coachella stage into a mini Met Gala.<\/p>\n

Justin Bieber paired leather Loewe boots with a pink hoodie from his own label Skylrk, while his wife Hailey spruiked pimple patches off-stage in a vintage Christian Dior slip.<\/p>\n

Former Disney star Joe Jonas wore Prada to join Teddy Swims on stage.<\/p>\n

Back in 1974 The Rolling Stones sang It\u2019s Only Rock \u2019n Roll (But I Like It). At Coachella, it can only be from the Paris runway, or freshly pressed from a stylist\u2019s rack (and I don\u2019t like it).<\/p>\n

The Loewe boots, however, were my favourite part of Bieber\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n
