Inside the Most Star-Studded Party of Coachella at the Guess Compound

Just after midnight, as the first day of the 2026 Coachella music festival began winding down in Indio, California, the party was only just getting started at the exclusive Guess compound.

Situated just beyond the festival grounds, the Guess Jeans enclave held its traditional kickoff party for the fifth year in a row—and virtually every star in town came out for the buzzy affair. Row after row of black SUV began pulling up around 1 a.m., carrying some of music’s biggest names, Coachella headliners, and those simply ready for some fun.

As for who could be spotted mixing-and-mingling in one of the compound’s sprawling private houses this year? The likes of Anya-Taylor Joy, Jennie, Sombr, Emma Roberts, Central Cee, PinkPantheress, Amelia Gray Hamlin, A$AP Nast, Evan Mock, Lila Moss, Teyana Taylor, Vittoria Ceretti, Damson Idris, and Cara Delevingne, all of whom rolled in for some late-night schmoozing in the indoor-outdoor space.

DJs Kaytranada, Kitty Ca$h, Rodaidh McDonald, D33J, and Sophie Gray spun tracks for the night, while guests sipped on Hennessy or Patron tequila-infused cocktails, including espresso martinis and spicy watermelon margaritas. The latter, in particular, proved to be a popular late-night desert thirst-quencher.

Meanwhile, a Sonic food truck was conveniently stationed outside the bash to satiate the midnight munchies—with no shortage of tater tots, corn dogs, and chicken bites up for grabs; the perfect snacks to indulge in for that 3 a.m. car ride home, after dancing the night away.
