Addison Rae's stage fashion

Sports Illustrated reported that Addison Rae 'stole the show' with multiple wardrobe changes during her Coachella set, underlining performer costume swaps as a festival focus (lifestyle.si.com). Day‑3 photo coverage also shows fashion remaining central to the Sunday experience alongside acts like Karol G, FKA twigs, Young Thug, Foster the People, Iggy Pop, and Fatboy Slim (pressenterprise.com).

Addison Rae turned her first full Coachella set into a costume show, changing looks mid-performance on the festival’s Main Stage on April 11. (lifestyle.si.com) Sports Illustrated said Rae opened in a gray corset-style gown with a tulle tutu, black knee-high boots and a long train, then switched into a cherry-red latex two-piece with suspenders. The same report said she later added accessories including a dollar-bill boa and a pink coat. (lifestyle.si.com) Rae played the Saturday, April 11, Main Stage slot before Justin Bieber’s headlining set, and Coachella’s livestream schedule listed her start time at 5:30 p.m. Pacific. Rolling Stone reported that the set also included “Aquamarine” with Maddie Ziegler and a nod to Bieber. (youtube.com, rollingstone.com) The clothes landed as part of a larger image shift that has followed Rae from social-media celebrity into touring pop act. Sports Illustrated noted that her April 11 performance came after a 2025 Coachella cameo with Arca and after the release of her debut album, “Addison,” later that summer. (lifestyle.si.com) Festival coverage from Southern California News Group kept pairing music with style, not treating fashion as a side note. Its April 13 Day 3 gallery from Indio highlighted “music, fashion, art” and named Sunday performers including Karol G, FKA twigs, Young Thug, Foster the People, Iggy Pop and Fatboy Slim. (mercurynews.com) That framing matches how Coachella is programmed and photographed now: stage sets, guest appearances and wardrobe all travel together in post-festival coverage. The festival’s Weekend 1 schedule ran April 10 through April 12, with headliners Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G anchoring each night. (usatoday.com, glamour.com) Rae’s set also showed how quickly a festival slot can double as tour launch, fashion campaign and career marker. Setlist.fm identified the April 11 show at Empire Polo Club as part of “The Fame and Glory Show Tour,” with a second Coachella date scheduled for April 18. (setlist.fm) By the end of Weekend 1, the takeaway from Rae’s performance was not only that she played Coachella’s biggest stage, but that she used quick costume changes to make the set legible from the back of the field and across the photo galleries that followed.
