Coachella fashion may be a blur of mesh, sequins and crochet, but one memorable look to come out of the 2024 festival is Hailey Bieber's scarf-over-baseball-cap combo.
This year, the festival grounds saw strong winds and cooler temperatures than in years past, making the scarf Bieber tied around his chin to secure his FILA hat a useful style choice. (More examples were seen at NYLON's Coachella party, held on another eve.) Aesthetically, the scarf's red tubes make a cohesive moment for the hats, while Bieber's burgundy lip – Rhode Peptide Lip Tint in Raspberry Jelly, obviously — big gold earrings and a Yankees warmup jacket completed the grandma-on-trend vibe at baseball camp.
Black TikTok creators were quick to point out that this pairing is a staple in the black community, with Rihanna and A$AP Rocky rocking the look on and off the red carpet. (Bieber cited Rihanna as the inspiration for his Coachella look on his Instagram Stories, posting a photo of the singer from 2017 with the caption “4ever the inspo.”)
With all the hats and scarves out there, the possibilities are practically endless. But even if the practicality and maximalist energy weren't enough to convince you, the appeal of this look also lies in its ability to help you go incognito, even more so if we add sunglasses. But be aware: it can have the opposite effect, making you look like a celebrity who doesn't want to be recognized.
