Everyone knows that the true purpose of Coachella is to appear to be living as authentically as possible, and hoo boy, Leonardo DiCaprio is the low-key authentic festivalgoer we can all appreciate.
To kick off the weekend at the annual music and arts festival, DiCaprio, 43, packed up his Mets hat, his vape pen, and his every-guy hoodie, and headed over to Rihanna's Coachella house party with rumored-girlfriend Camila Morrone, 20. Then again, why use labels? It's Coachella. Let the winds of the music and high-end, sometimes-impractical fashion move you to whichever non-monogamous term feels most comfortable.
After the dust settled from the headlining Beyoncé performance on Saturday, the two were spotted again. DiCaprio, who typically tries to keep it subtle when making public appearances, was seen with Morrone in the festival's VIP area. He had his hoodie pulled up over his hat because, Oscar-winners, they're just like us. Afterward, DiCaprio and Morrone reportedly moved onto the Neon Carnival where DiCaprio did his trademark vaping and Morrone danced nearby.
Though he did his best to go unnoticed, you can't help but pay attention to the guy who's wearing 3D glasses in the dead of night. If you're going to go incognito in a crowd, it's always best to roll with the crowd and just grab a pair of cheap sunglasses.
In the slightly altered words of country music superstar, Kenny Rogers, you gotta know when to own your 3D glasses, know when to fold 'em. Still, it's a stronger attempt than last year's baggy hoodie look he shared with Orlando Bloom. Live and learn, Leo. Live and learn.
