This look could catch on one day, right?
We all know Coachella is a textbook study in the desire to wear things that no human should. That typically applies to the crowd who come decked out in ill-fitting, barely there costumes, spirit hoodies and every piece of tight neon attire imaginable. But artists onstage can commit some cringe-worthy fashion faux pas that make us hope they'll take some of those hard-earned Coachella dollars from this weekend and hire a better stylist for Weekend 2. Here then is our list of the top five questionable fashion statements from artists on the second day of Coachella.

The way the sun catches the fabric on your onstage Coachella attire can make or break the whole ensemble. Not to take anything away from the sparkle of Natasha Khan of Bat for Lashes, but when this dress lit up, it made her look more like the NBC peacock.

No one will ever say Maynard James Keenan doesn't know how to dress for shock value. After decades of sporting plenty of outlandish get-ups, we still weren't ready to gaze up this very earnest attempt to re-create the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" video with this mullet/mustache combo.
