Janelle Monae & Ella Mai Rock Out During Coachella Night One

Janelle Monae and Ella Mai hit the stage for their performances during night one of the 2019 Coachella Music Festival on Friday (April 12) in Indio, Calif.

During Janelle‘s set, Lizzo made a surprise appearance!

Janelle wore five different outfits during the show and her stylist Alexandra Mandelkorn opened up to THR about the looks.

“She’s like some starship commander from an amazing Afrofuture planet,” she said. “There’s a through line of militaristic elements throughout the show. It gives a commanding presence and evokes the sense of leadership and leading a revolution, leading a charge. And Janelle‘s message is one very much rooted in love and spreading that sort of mentality. Having the militaristic elements but someone who is preaching love is a dynamic we don’t often see.”

Ella made her Coachella debut that night!

FYI: Janelle is wearing Oliver Peoples x The Row sunglasses.
