COACHELLA WAS BACK in full swing this year after being canceled since 2019 due to the pandemic. As the largest music and arts festival, it brought celebrity sightings and on-trend fashion along with emerging and established musical talents and a few surprise guests thrown in.
Stars like Vanessa Hudgens and Alessandra Ambrosio were out during the event, which took place April 15-17 and then again April 22-24 in Indio, CA, just east of Palm Springs. Look at photos from the festival and you will immediately notice the colorful and spirited fashion and jewelry. The looks represent various decades at a festival known for its energetic vibe in everything from the clothes to the music, which includes styles such as pop, hip hop, rock, indie and dance.
Enter Jacquie Aiche, who has a cult following that she calls her “tribe” and who over the years has bejeweled many a celeb. This year, Hudgens and Ambrosio rocked her jewelry with layers of necklaces and bracelets as well as fingers full of rings in a variety of trendy styles.
Hudgens wore different combinations of layered chokers and pendants, including Aiche’s Chrysoprase Thunderbird and Diamond Necklace, Round Opal Turquoise and Diamond Inlay Sweet Leaf Necklace and Multi Shape Aquamarine and Diamond Shaker Necklace. She also wore Aiche’s diamond bezel teardrop body chain and her Inside Out Five Marquise Diamond Shaker hoops.
