17 Hours With Victoria Justice At Coachella
The actor and singer shares her festival āfits, skin prep, and what it was like seeing No Doubt.
Coachella is more than just a music festival ā itās an experience filled with pop-ups, fashion, and celebs. From Taylor Swift and Travis Kelceās date night to Olivia Rodrigoās surprise appearance during No Doubtās set, Weekend 1 of Coachella 2024 really was *that girl*. Among the stars in attendance was Victoria Justice, who took Elite Daily along with her on her first day at this yearās big event.
The Nickelodeon alum, who recently announced that her next single, āRaw,ā will be dropping on April 19, didnāt just head to the festival to see artists like Sabrina Carpenter and Lana Del Rey. Going to Coachella also means attending different parties and brand activations in and around the Indio, California area.
Since Justice recently partnered with International Delight Cold Foam Creamer, of course she had to make a pitstop at the brandās immersive International Delight Cold Foam House.
To me, fashion is such a great way to express yourself and your personality, and Coachella is a great place to do that.
Before heading out the door, though, Justice shares below how she prepares for a full day in the desert, which includes her go-to skin care and eye-catching Coachella āfits. āTo me, fashion is such a great way to express yourself and your personality, and Coachella is a great place to do that,ā she tells Elite Daily, so she had a minimum of two trendy āfits at the ready.
The 31-year-old actor also shares how she ended her night at the Neon Carnival before unwinding in her hotel, and preparing to do it all again for Day 2.
Preparing For A Full Day In The Desert With Hydrating Skin Care
8:30 a.m.: The first thing I do when I wake up is meditate for 15 minutes. It starts my day off right and puts me in a peaceful place ahead of the festival. This app called Waking Up is one of my personal favorites.
9:00 a.m.: I love to start my day with an iced coffee with cold foam, itās the perfect morning pick-me-up. Iāve recently perfected my coffee shop-style drink right at home with International Delightās Sweet & Creamy Cold Foam Creamer. Itās quick, easy, and delicious.
10:00 a.m.: After energizing with my coffee, Iām ready to get this day going. For pre-glam, I hop in the shower and use my Clarisonic and a basic gel cleanser to get my skin feeling really clean. For shampoo and conditioner, Iāve been using Kristin Ess signature.
At the end of my shower, I usually like to make the water as cold as it gets and stay in for about three minutes. It just makes me feel so alert, energized, and I know itās really good for me health-wise. As far as skin care goes, I use a Mario Badescu caffeine eye cream & Belif moisturizing bomb moisturizer. I love it when my skin feels hydrated. Iām now ready to start hair and makeup.
Victoriaās Go-To Products For Coachella GRWMs
11:00 a.m.: Today, Iām wearing two outfits. Up first is a fun āfit I thought would complement my first stop nicely. Iām wearing a little white cotton flower top from Showpo. It immediately caught my eye when I saw how the flowers were outlined with rhinestones. It was also so lightweight and cute in a simple way that I knew I had to wear it somehow. I paired it with white denim shorts by Frame, and the silver heart chain belt is by iamkoko.la.
Because the outfitās so white, my stylist and I opt for Steve Madden red suede Western boots for a fun little pop of color.
As far as my process goes, I just like to wear things that catch my eye ā pieces that are fun and unique. I especially love people watching at Coachella, and seeing all the great festival outfits. Anything goes here, and Iām so here for it.
I will say, though, that comfort is important to me as well, so picking the right shoes is a top priority. The other thing I look for in an outfit is that I wonāt be too hot in it during the day, and always have a hoodie because the temperature really drops at night in the desert.
Heading To Coachella To People Watch & Visit Pop-Ups
2:00 p.m.: Now itās time to head to the festival grounds with my Coachella partner in crime: my sister, Madison. Weāve gone together every year that Iāve been, and we always have a great time. The moment you first arrive is always so magical. Stepping onto the grounds, the energy you feel is immediate.
You never know who youāre going to run into or what adventures lie ahead.
The sun is shining, with thousands of music lovers and art installations covering a picturesque desert landscape. It feels like everywhere you look thereās something exciting happening, not to mention some great people watching. You never know who youāre going to run into or what adventures lie ahead.
3:00 p.m.: My first stop at Coachella is the International Delight Cold Foam House. Iām so excited to partner with International Delight this year. The brand is bringing an immersive multi-sensory flavor experience right to festival grounds to show fans how easy it is to be their own barista with Cold Foam Creamer.
Swing on an oversized cold foam coffee cup, creating one-of-a-kind foam-inspired beats, engaging with a 10-foot touchscreen glass filled with cascading digital foam, and, of course, drinking all the coffee ā what more can you ask for?
5:00 p.m.: Quick outfit change, and Iām ready to run around and explore the festival. My sister and I meet up with some friends, grab some grub (pepperoni Prince St. Pizza), and see Billie Eilishās surprise DJ set (!!!).
7:30 p.m.: Oh, how I love the desert at dusk.
Getting To See No Doubt Was So Nostalgic
9:25 p.m.: We head over to the Coachella main stage to catch one of the acts Iām most excited about: No Doubt. Growing up, I only had two posters on my wall. One was of Aaron Carter, the other was of No Doubt. Let me tell you, Gwen Stefani does not disappoint. The energy she brings to the stage was nonstop.
Itās such a special moment singing along to āJust a Girl,ā āItās My Life,ā and one of my favorites of all time, āDonāt Speak.ā With surprise guest Olivia Rodrigo joining her to perform āBathwater,ā āfunā would be an understatement. What a nostalgic and iconic moment.
11:00 p.m.: At this point of the night, Iām a little tired, but Iām powering through. My friends and I head to Zenyara for a fun Tao Group party. Itās actually so beautiful. Since itās a little chilly outside, we end up having a drink by a toasty fire pit. At the fire pit, I run into some other friends and decide to head over to Neon Carnival.
12:00 a.m.: N-E-O-N. We bump into some other friends, ride some rides, and dance to a DJ set. Iāve had my fun. Iām tired and my feet hurt, so itās time to head home.
1:30 a.m.: It was a long, but very successful day. Now that Iām back at my hotel, I throw my hair up in a bun, and my make up comes off immediately. I apply lots of moisturizer and throw on my coziest pjs. Usually, I just sleep in a big T-shirt and cozy socks because my feet are always cold.
Getting dressed up is always fun, but Iām not going to lie, I feel the most me and most comfortable in my natural state. I open my five-minute journal app, and write down the highlights of my day. Then, itās time to get some sleep and do it all again tomorrow.
