Years before Vanessa Hudgens<\/a><\/strong> popularized the flower crown<\/a> and Taylor Swift<\/a><\/strong> made “Bleachella”<\/a> a thing, Hollywood flocked to the Coachella Valley Music Arts and Festival<\/a> for an oasis-like experience unlike any other. <\/p>\n

Despite Coachella’s evolution from alt-rock extravaganza to pop culture paradise, a shared love of live music (admittedly combined with a burning sense of FOMO) is what attracts stars and non-celebrities to the 330-acre polo field in Indio, Calif year after year. <\/p>\n

Such was the case for the 2009 desert expedition, where then-It couple Reese Witherspoon<\/a><\/strong> and Jake Gyllenhaal<\/a><\/strong>, Drew Barrymore<\/a><\/strong>, Alessandra Ambrosio<\/a><\/strong>and more A-listers partied the weekend away to the soundtracks of Paul McCartney<\/a><\/strong>, The Killers<\/strong> and The Cure<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

So in honor of the festival’s hotly-anticipated 20th anniversary, we threw it back to a Coachella where Instagram didn’t exist, snagging an invite to exclusive after-parties wasn’t a priority and you probably didn’t plan your looks months in advance. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
