Rihanna's Coachella outfit (one of many, anyway) went down a storm:

Nicki Minaj shared a photo on Instagram that caused many fans to do a double-take, as she was pictured with The Weeknd, Wav, Belly, French Montana and... Shania Twain?

In another picture from the same moment you could spot Call Me By Your Name actor Timothee Chalamet lurking in the background, clearly having a ball.

Chalamet also shared this photo from his own Instagram:

The Weeknd gave an emotional performance during his headline slot on the Friday night (13 April) - video footage shows the US artist close to tears as he sang "Call Out My Name" - a new song rumoured to be about his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez.

For those intrigued by the fashion side of Bey's show: Stylist Marni Senofonte apparently approached Olivier Rousteing after his Fall 2018 runway show for Balmain, and explained to him that she was trying to find the right designer to create custom looks for Beyoncé’s upcoming Coachella performance.

“Marni told me that the shows were all about survivors and that B was looking for something in a military style,” Rousteing told Vogue. “Our silhouettes and our sort of Mad Max, futuristic take on military looks for Fall were a perfect fit.”

Rousting went to work with Senofonte and the rest of Beyoncé’s team to create two custom Balmain stage wardrobes: one for each of her performances on 14 April, as well as for the following Saturday.

Rousteing was also tasked with dressing the 200-some dancers on stage, as well as Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, who reunited with Beyoncé for a Destiny’s Child throwback moment this weekend.
