Having one of the most recognisable faces in the world usually makes going to huge events like Coachella a nightmare for being recognised.

However, model Heidi Klum had the chicest solution as she ditched her familiar blonde tresses and donned a long black wig for the festival.

This year, the Californian festival has seen Justin Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter headlining so far, with two very different sets.

Like Hannah Montana, the wig and a big pair of sunglasses meant the supermodel, 52, was able to blend in with the crowds.

We’re sure Heidi got the best of both worlds as she walked through the festival in a white dress, cut to show off one bum cheek, and cowboy boots.

‘Coachella Day 2 “Techno Hexan”, she captioned the video, tagging her husband Tom Kaulitz and brand Maison Blanche, who custom-made the outfit.

She attached her cover of 80s track Sunglasses At Night, which she released in 2024 with Tiësto.

Fans were loving Heidi’s alter ego, calling the move ‘iconic’, as Dezorzi Rose commented: ‘That black wig just unlocked a whole new version of you 🔥 what’s the name of this character?’

‘OMG, is that Heidi? I thought it was someone else! She’s super gorgeous, she’s a diva! 😍👏🏻,’ said Karlyss.

Devon Zieser praised: ‘Heidi just walking around and no one knows it’s her. Iconic.’

For day one, she had opted for a similarly incognito look, rocking shades and long platinum blonde hair with a white beanie.

Her outfit was equally monochromatic, also from Maison Blanche, with a white body suit and baggy white trousers, which had scorch marks on.

Heidi’s best of both worlds Coachella looks are far from her most astounding transformations, as the supermodel is known for going all out at Halloween.

Her annual party has become legendary, with stars dressing up in various extravagant costumes and Heidi’s outfit the star of the show.

Some of Heidi’s most iconic costumes include Medusa, complete with a huge tail, ET with her husband Tom, Fiona from Shrek, and a worm.

We’re not sure ET wandering around would be quite as incognito as her black-haired alter ego.

Heidi isn’t the only star in Coachella Valley this weekend, with the usual Kardashian-Jenner clan heading to the festival.

Kendall, Kourtney, and Kylie showed off the huge mansion they’d rented out for the week to attend, seemingly leaving partners and kids at home.

Kim was also in attendance, having brought North West with her, filming Justin Bieber’s set from the crowd.

Meanwhile, Paris Hilton, Lizzo, and Katseye’s Manon were also spotted in the valley, with the Juice singer dancing on stage with a life-sized Labubu.

Speculation around Manon’s position in the band is still at an all-time high as Katseye performed in their Coachella debut, but she was not on stage.

In February, she announced she would be taking a ‘temporary hiatus from group activities to focus on her health and wellbeing’, with her bandmates wishing her the best.

So far, there has been no indication of when Manon will return but her absence was felt doubly as the group dropped new single Pinky Up ahead of their performance.
