This unexpected collaboration showcased Megan's genre-bending appeal and her commitment to showcasing talent outside of the mainstream hip-hop sphere. The moment was praised by fans as a bold and inclusive move, demonstrating the universality of the "Hot Girl" movement.
Iconic Fashion and The Viral Denim G-String Outfit
A Megan Thee Stallion performance is incomplete without a stunning wardrobe, and Coachella 2025 delivered on all fronts. Her fashion choices were as bold and memorable as her music, setting new trends and dominating the festival style conversation.
Her most talked-about ensemble was a Wild West-inspired denim look. This "Canadian tuxedo" was anything but traditional, featuring a plunging studded bra top and matching low-rise distressed jeans from the brand Who Decides War. The standout detail was the denim G-string waistline, which left little to the imagination and perfectly embodied her confident, unapologetic style.
She followed this up with a dramatic costume change, pivoting to an eye-popping black outfit that was described by some as "Fifty Shades of Grey" inspired, further emphasizing her embrace of sexuality and female empowerment. She also sported custom pieces from House of JMC and True Religion, alongside her vibrant red curly hair, which added another layer of visual flair to the high-energy set.
The Shocking Mic Cut Controversy and Setlist Highlights

Despite the technical difficulties, the show was overwhelmingly well-received, but the abrupt ending became a major talking point.
