By now, the multitudes of Coachella -bound flower girls (and guys!) have packed their bags and set out for the California sunset. But it’s never too late to take a little festival style inspiration from those who are sure to do it best (and no, we don’t mean Beyoncé , although this year’s headliner will no doubt serve up encore-worthy performance looks). Among the crowds of excited music fans, the Victoria’s Secret Angels tend to stand head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to street style. This crew—think, Elsa Hosk, Romee Strijd, and Sara Sampaio—has all but perfected the art of a desert wardrobe. Below a sneak peek at what a few of our favorite VS Angels will be packing this year. From must-have travel necessities, to day-to-night bikinis, and all those rager-ready looks you’re likely to see at Saturday night’s notoriously cool Neon Carnival after-party, consider this the next best thing to an all-access pass.

The desert is extremely dry so I try and keep my skin as hydrated as possible throughout the weekend. As far as makeup goes, I like to have really pretty, dewy, glowy skin. When attending a festival in the heat, less is more. Also, wear waterproof mascara so your mascara isn’t melting onto your face after so much dancing.
