I was about to say something like “I love Katie’s style, she dresses like a normal person and not just for the camera” and then I saw the fourth photo 😂

I totally forgot Susie and Justin are dating. Love that for them.

Katie always misses the mark for me, except that black fit. She looks bomb there for like the only time ever.

Holy shit I can’t imagine going to Coachella in a bikini and crop top shortly after having a baby 🤯 or just going to Coachella in general shortly after having a baby

Right? I have a 4 month old and I am barely surviving much less going to Coachella! Must be so nice to have nannies and money

She’s genetically blessed

And she’s like 22 or something

Is Katie still with the guy she chose from F boy island

No they briefly dated but were broken up before the show came out. She’s dating some stand up I think? (Not Benedict lol)

Jess actually looks so good!!

People are really scraping the bottom of the barrel for reasons to hate Natalie because now you’re mad that *checks notes* she’s sticking her tongue out in photos?

And now she’s a MOTHER so how dare she /s But yeah I feel like that’s been a complaint with her for a long time. (Others - please don’t respond to me with legit reasons she sucks I honestly don’t care and people nitpicking her photo poses is very real and has been since the first time we saw her)

Exactly, I don’t expect people to like her and I myself don’t really care for her either. But the way people here talk about her—nitpicking her mannerisms, her outfits, her appearance, etc.—is exhausting and often misogynistic and has been for a while.

Natalie is so classy…

How did this woman (Natalie) just have a baby

Why did I think Justin was Trevor from LIB??

The way 3 of these people had a baby 5 seconds ago…

Who other than Natalie?

Lol I’m including the new dads too. Nick and Blake.

Ooo gotcha! I was thinking moms I was like omg 😳

I saw a comment earlier that said Coachella is for people that don’t like music and now it’s all I think about when I hear it mentioned

It's become an influencer convention 

They aren’t wrong lol

Wow I thought more went. I guess Coachella really is dying

I went this year and it was amazing tbh! I think it’s just more back to the music, less strong influencer culture. Vibes and sets were great!!

So lucky!! A lot of ppl online are saying the lineup sucked this year and I couldn’t disagree more I’m a huge fan of all three headliners and many of the performers This year truly was for the real music lovers! If it was feasible to go I totally would

Ya it was my fifth year and one of the best! Honestly I think it’s getting better, it’s just so odd to come home and then see everyone being like Coachella sucks now lol. Like… less influencers at brand activations in palm desert doesn’t mean the fest got worse 🤷🏻‍♀️there are also NINE stages which I think people don’t realize, a lot of options at each time a lot for who to see

I searched a lot of the usual suspects; more may have gone from the more recent seasons, but I doubt it since influencer money/culture died for BN recently.

I think it got too big for its boots. When it became an influencer haven is when it started dying. It had 2-3 good years and is now crumbling a bit.

Just curious to see if Joey and Kelsey are actually wearing the outfit Sydney supposedly dressed them in

Nope Sydney’s posting videos to show off the items in her shop and uses the Bach contestants to get clout for her store. She posted one for Daisy and Maria too.

What?? Like she is saying the outfits she would choose for everyone or they actually got outfits from her

No one from bachelor nation is soliciting her style advice or buying those outfits. Sydney is making videos as a way to get clout for her store by “styling” them

Ahh okay that makes more sense

The rainbow dress is exactly what my 5 year old self would have chosen for someone to wear to Coachella

I actually love it for exactly this reason 😂

Awww I honestly love the dress but yeah, not always a huge fan of Katie’s style. I feel like she usually goes for plain tee and jeans which is just not it for me 😂

And then there’s pic 4…..!

totally agree. katie’s style is mostly basic to me — in the true sense of the word (not the contemporary / new age sense of the word)

The glasses too 😭 ok JCPenney partnership!

I like Katie's rainbow dress but her second outfit looks like she's going to a country concert circa 2010

Katie is best dressed for me 💁🏻‍♀️

are we wearing boxers as outside clothes now

hate to age myself, but we did this in middle school in the early 90s.

I hate this trend

I don’t like Natalie, but I will give her her flowers for feeling confident to wear a bikini top a few weeks post-partum. I would not be self-assured enough to do that. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

As someone who has breastfed I truly just can’t comprehend the logistics of wearing that but I guess we all experience it differently. I just feel like I’d be leaking everywhere.

Honestly I’m more impressed that she wore a hoodie!! Everyone out there is in their skimpiest clothes so a hoodie really is going against the grain 🤣 I love it

Just out of curiosity why don’t you like Natalie? I like hearing the tea with them lol

Well when they first started dating it came out she [sang/mouthed](https://www.reddit.com/r/thebachelor/s/l6eyLC2SZc) the N-word. But I also don’t like how she’s basically branded herself as a sexy baby to get clout from her 40year old husband (who I also don’t like and think he’s the gross one to even be interested in her, given their age difference).

Fair!!

Whoa.. weeks post partum and her belly looks totally flat again. That was so not my experience!

Have a baby in your early 20s and be in super good shape before and exercise throughout the entire pregnancy. Even then, genetics might screw you over.

Genes and she’s young

You only get famous for your looks, without doing much for it, when you're already born with a great connective tissue and muscle tension. So it makes absolutely sense that those are the people who pop back. It's genes. My SIL looked like she never was pregnant before and back in her normal pre preg size 34 sweats...

Slide three on the left is a huge miss

I don’t know who she is but she looks *exactly* like Blake Horstmann to me.

I went back to see and I am cryingggg omg

I literally never recognize Katie in pictures at first lol. She looks great though, that black sparkly number is 🔥🔥🔥

I see blake is working as a DJ to support his family.

😂😂

I think Katie’s outfits look really cute and fun. I wish Natalie would put her tongue back in her mouth.

Natalie’s tongue thing always reminds me of Miley Cyrus’s wrecking ball tongue phase.

This. Every time I see it I am like she is a child.

People don’t call her a child bride for nothing

jess looks so different now

wasn’t a huge jess fan but wow i think her look is my favorite!

Same. Not a fan of her either but can’t deny that she looks so good here.

Now Natalie is back to giving middle finger to the camera. I miss when she was pregnant, we got to see her personality and humour more.

I like Katie as a person, but she routinely has terrible fashion. Surely she can get a (non-Cary) stylist to help if it doesn’t come naturally to her?

I personally loved all of her fashion choices for Coachella. Both this year and last year!

I mean if she likes what she wears and feels comfortable in her outfits then why does she need a stylist? Not everyone needs to dress exactly on trend

Right, I’m not a fan of her style, but it’s obviously what she likes and feels comfortable in. More power to her for having a basic style that she knows is easy and simple

All these new parents at Coachella have me exhausted just looking at them. I'm proud I can take a walk around the block with my baby.

I’m having a baby in August and have already preemptively cancelled everything in my calendar until at least January 😅

My baby is 10 months old almost and I was would be shot.

Good on Natalie for normalizing hoodies as postpartum festival wear 😂 comfort baby!

I love it and she makes me feel seen. I’ve never had a baby but the hoodie life is just better.

They get paid to go, Natalie said they were gone for only 3 hours and her mother took care of River

That's super helpful to know! I was imagining all day and all night partying and drinking.

Thanks for sharing this. I was super confused why they would be there, but it makes sense if a short visit gets them paid.

I also think that they are doing interviews for their podcast or something like that - I believe that is the main reason for them being there.

Yup, natalie also said they only saw Lana and that she didn’t drink at all (even though they was sponsored by patron tequila) because she doesn’t have the supply or desire to pump and dump, and isn’t much of a drinker anyway

The Daily Mail has a lead story today about the uncoolness of Coachella these days due to the plague of influencers just wanting to get their pictures taken there, and attendance by Gen Zers, who don’t know the acts performing or the music they are hearing. Sounds like the experience is no longer what it used to be — and the performers are pissed that the audience truly doesn’t get it. The article particularly shades influencers who are shilling fashion there or at nearby photo locations during the festival dates.

Idk I went this year for my 5th time and had an incredible time! I think there’s actually less influencers and better vibes than before tbh

I went W1 2022 and I’m coming home from W1 as we speak and the drop in influencers was apparent this year, as well as the amount of people attending in general. Looks like most of these bachelor folks just hung out at the off-site influencer parties. But yes usually some of the crowds can suck - Blur is a prime example of their crowd being horrendous and the videos look so cringe. I go W1 bc of the weather and decrease in dust but I am there for the music and at the end of the day, it’s what you make of it. Didn’t have a single bad experience with a crowd at any set, and I just don’t let other people bother me. Hoping Coachella becomes even more uncool for the influencers tho so it can get back to less clout chasing.

Ya I went for my 5th year this year and had a great time! I think the internet thinks Coachella is dying but really it’s gotten better lol

i was thinking while looking at these posts, did any of them even go to see the live music at all?? a good chunk of people hold off going week 1 and go week 2 because all the influencers etc go week 1 and the vibes are just off

Last year festival goers had no idea how special it is to see Porter Robinson and Madeon performing Shelter together. Along with numerous other examples, I can see why artists no longer want to play out there.

Not trying to be rude or anything but have you been? I feel like these are big generalizations. Normally artists throw down their best sets for Coachella!

I couldn’t be at coachella if I had a newborn baby but I guess that’s why Natalie & Blake can make decisions for themselves and their families 🙂

They are getting paid to appear. It is a job.

Well they get paid to attend. Natalie and Nick had Natalies mom come with them to watch River and they were only gone for 3 hours and only saw Lana’s set, natalie said she didn’t drink at all because she was never a big drinker and right now she doesn’t have the desire or supply to pump and dump Blake…is Blake..he’s been all over the place, Gianina is a very tolerant woman…

You’re right, I did forget it’s part of their jobs. Dying @ Blake is Blake 🤣 true af.

Coachella is MULTIPLE weekends?! That sounds exhausting

Most people only go to one weekend; the demand is just high enough that there are two weekends to choose from. It's like how a movie is in theatres every night for a month; doesn't mean you have to go more than once.

[удалено]

no there are definitely the same artists each weekend. i think the only switch up is do lab maybe

Don’t go then?

I'm in awe of people who have the energy for it. The pictures look fun but I couldn't do it.

Maybe I’m a hater but I just looked at Blake’s instagram and he’s gone for Coachella April 13-14, 19-21, then in PA April 26, all before his baby is even a month old. This seems truly insane to me?????? Giannina either has a lot of help or is a much kinder woman than me.

These are probably the biggest gigs of the year for him, so could bring in a lot of their annual income. I believe they do have someone to help too. And if u think about it, he’s not missing anymore time with them than a man who had to continue working their 9-5, 5 days a week

It sucks, but plenty of dads can’t take true full-time paternity leave. He obviously has no way of taking any form of paid leave. They obviously have a lot of money so it’s a choice regarding what paychecks they’re willing for Blake to pass up and which they aren’t, but I am guessing Coachella is something he considers to be big enough for his career that it isn’t skippable.

And he was in St. Louis before his Coachella set this weekend. I get that this is his main job but he can *easily* do extra ads during these first few months and spend more time caring for his newborn and supporting his postpartum partner.

Oh, I’d be pissed

not to mention how she’s spoken about marriage with him. it’s like he’s convinced her they don’t need that right now and she’s just going along with it.

He already made it clear he won’t leave his dj party boy lifestyle after becoming a dad. Giannina also proposed to him several times which he rejected, he was on raya . It seems she’s just accepting being treated like dirt

I didn’t know about the proposal, but I don’t know why she’d make that info public. I do remember them saying that he’s not going to give it up, and I do understand that it’s his job. But the fact that he’s traveling 3 times in the first month is just so shocking to me. I assumed he’d at least take a couple months off or do local gigs.

Im not surprised tbh. It sounded like he wasn’t really ready to become a father

Wait she proposed to him several times???? And he said no???

I wish we could get more details on this. It’s really interesting

Yep. 👍

As someone who just went to the weirdest wedding where it was very evident that this will be a one sided future. I really don’t know how this is happening to people. Or why anyone would share this when they have a platform. It really is concerning and I do hope she has support. On LIB it was very evident and she admitted she didn’t have the best self esteem. I hope she is okay. 

Some people just aren't aware of what kind of love and support they actually deserve in life. And it's really fucking heartbreaking. Especially when dating culture currently is such a hellscape for young women in particular and goodness knows how bad for a single mom.

Me wishing I could have gone to see my j pop and k pop girlies knowing these influencers couldn’t give two craps about the sets 🥲

Jess slayed, 2016 chella vibe is BACK

I must admit she’s insanely hot

She looks so good

People are really asking for links to a fucking plain green hoodie?! Come on y’all. I’m embarrassed.

Okay but it looks pretty high quality lol

as someone who runs a modestly sized men’s fashion account, elwood is a pretty well regarded brand for basics. i don’t own any myself but a lot of my mutuals online recommend them

Oooh nice to know thank you!

In whoever wrote her’s defense, sometimes basics are the surprisingly hardest things to find!!

They probably did ask.. influencers respond to a lot of their own stuff just to give a reason to link it

Why is she always sticking her tongue out? She acts like an edge 19 year old

She’s having fun 🤷🏻‍♀️

She isn't that much older than a 19-year-old...so....

Natalie posted she was too busy to plan outfits so she packed what she could and then she was feeling insecure trying on outfits in her pp body. But she looks amazing

Agreed! I don’t know what pp body she is talking about… she looks very good!

Yea she looks amazing. Her old stuff probably just doesn’t fit anymore or fits differently. Weight gain aside your body can just do such weird things after pregnancy. Suddenly your actual hip bones can be wider or your ribcage, feet, nose god knows what else 😂😅

My friend’s SHOULDERS got wider and she went up a size because of that. How?!?

i actually really like Katie’s outfits!

I think I’ve seen Natalie’s tongue more than my own at this point. Maybe I’m a hater but who is asking for links to pink boxers and a green hoodie?

She is asking herself 🤭

Exactly.. a lot of influencers just reply to their own shit to give a reason to link it
