Top 3 Palm Springs Trends for Bachelorettes Who Slay & Leisure

By Lola Mangia

It’s official: Palm Springs is having a bachelorette moment, and the girls are going all in. Whether you’re the bride-to-be or the chaotic neutral in the group chat, this desert hotspot is where western meets retro glam — and the trends? Absolutely going viral.

From cowgirl-core fashion to over-the-top drag brunches to Airbnb takeovers that feel like mini reality shows, here are the top 3 trends taking over Palm Springs — as seen on TikTok, Instagram, and probably in your camera roll from last weekend.

1. Theme: Desert Cowgirl / Desert Western

Saddle up, but make it chic.

This year’s hottest bridal party look isn’t just cowboy boots and fringe — it’s a whole aesthetic. Brides are strutting down Palm Canyon like it's their final runway, decked out in white hats with attached veils, fringe denim jackets, and flowy white dresses. Some are even rocking white bikini tops and cut-off Levi’s, because why not? It’s 110 degrees and no laws apply in the desert.

The rest of the SQUAD is serving supporting roles in matching looks: denim skirts, retro sunnies, pastel cowgirl hats, and boots made for clacking dramatically on the sidewalks. It’s giving Coachella had a baby with a rodeo and raised it in a mid-century modern Airbnb.

This is Denim Chic 2025, and yes, we’re obsessed.

“I wasn’t sure about the cowgirl theme at first, but now I feel like Shania Twain got reborn through me after two margaritas and a spray tan.” – anonymous maid of honor, seen doing the splits outside Pappy & Harriet’s

2. Airbnb > Hotels. Period.

Hotels are cute or whatever… but Airbnbs are the undisputed champs for modern bachelorettes.

Why? Because you can:

• Blast “Man! I Feel Like A Woman” at full volume without hotel security showing up.

• Lounge by your private pool in coordinated swimsuits (that say “Hot Mess Express” or “Last Rodeo,” obviously).

• Hire a private chef, a pool boy, or both.

• Do your chaotic TikTok transitions in peace.

• 
  

And let’s be honest — nothing bonds a bridal party faster than accidentally locking yourselves out and having to break in using a sequined stiletto and a pool noodle.

“We picked the Airbnb because it had a pink flamingo float and 5 disco balls in the backyard. Our standards are high.” – TikTok user @Bridezillaaa84

3. Drag Brunch is the New Church

What’s a Palm Springs bachelorette weekend without being publicly roasted by a 6-foot drag queen in heels taller than your self-esteem?

Here are the top 3 drag shows where bachelorettes are livingggg:

Bitchiest Brunch at Oscar’s Palm Springs

Think: champagne, shade, and shenanigans. Oscar’s is iconic, and their brunch show is the crown jewel. Queens here don’t just lip-sync — they annihilate you with jokes, death drops, and sass. Brides get pulled on stage and roasted lovingly, which is perfect if she’s been acting a little too type-A lately with the itinerary.

Pro Tip: Order the bottomless mimosas. You’ll need the courage when the queen starts asking about your ex.

I Heart Drag Brunch at The Hyatt Palm Springs

This is brunch with glitz and glam — less roast, more sparkle. It’s the one to book if your group is more Pageant Queen than Party Goblin. Expect drag performers with major talent, killer vocals, and high-energy routines that’ll have your whole table up dancing by the third mimosa.

“This one turned our quiet bridesmaid into a full-blown hype woman. She lost a flip-flop and her dignity.” – Bridesmaid review, 5 stars.

Tea N’ Shade at Boozehounds

This one’s for the cool girls and the dog moms — Boozehounds is a vibe. Think mid-century patio, signature cocktails, very cute dogs, and drag queens who know how to serve it with a side of sass.

Perfect if your group wants to pregame brunch, take 400 Instagram photos, and maybe even bring your Yorkie in a bandana that says “Here for the drama.”

Final Word from the Desert

Palm Springs isn’t just for the gays and the grannies anymore — it’s the bachelorette capital for hot girls with Pinterest boards and commitment issues.

So grab your veil, your boots, and your SPF 100, because this desert isn’t ready for your Main Character Energy.

With love, SPF, and semi-regrettable matching tattoos,
