Coachella 2011 began with a bang on Friday with performances by Sleigh Bells, the Black Keys, Chemical Brothers, and Ms. Lauryn Hill. Concert goers came ready to party in the desert in bandeau tops, short skirts, breezy shorts, and flat, comfortable sandals.

But most simply chose to shine in neon colors, uplifted by turquoise jewelry, floppy hats, and electric smiles.
