Coachella 2023 is bursting with trendy beauty looks [1], from mismatched manicures to cool graphic eyeliner moments [2], but there's one hairstyle trend [3] that practically everyone is wearing: baby braids [4]. This Y2K-inspired [5] hair look started gaining popularity in the last year and has since gathered a long list of celebrity fans.
Alessandra Ambrosio, Shay Mitchell, Camila Coelho, and many more rocked the braided hairstyle at Coachella this year, and last year, stars like Hailey Bieber [6], Kendall Jenner [7], and Sophia Culpo also put their own spin on the look. Celebrity hairstylist Irinel de León [8] gave Bieber four baby braids throughout her entire head; hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos [9] added two tiny braids to each side of Ambrosio's head; and stylist Caylee Jolene [10] accessorized influencer Madison Grace's hair look with butterfly clips for an extra touch of nostalgia.
There are a number of reasons this festival hairstyle [11] would be the go-to choice for the biggest music festival of the year. The face-framing pigtail braids are easy to do at home and leave plenty of room for customization through colorful elastics, hair clips, and hair dye.
