At the world's largest music festival in Indio last weekend, Justin Bieber delivered a unique performance, spending most of his time seated, with a laptop in front of him, browsing YouTube. He replayed popular songs from his younger days and sang along, creating a medley of about 12 tracks.
The singer wore a hoodie and t-shirt from SKYLRK, his own brand, paired with Loewe boots and knee-length pants designed by Hung La, priced at 535 USD (14 million dong). The curved-leg design featured denim seams running along the length. Curved-leg pants have been a global trend promoted by fashion houses since 2024.
This was not the first time Justin wore clothes by the Vietnamese-American designer. In February, he sported Hung La's basic streetwear pieces while out with fans in California.

Justin Bieber's Coachella 2026 performance sparked debate on social media. According to Pagesix, some opinions suggested the act did not justify his 10 million USD fee. Others praised the performance for its unique appeal and emotional impact, despite its simplicity. Fans expressed appreciation for Justin Bieber's positive, healthy image and relaxed demeanor on stage.
According to Hollywood Reporter, Bieber's return followed a turbulent period in his career. He canceled tours due to health issues, sold his music catalog, became a father, and parted ways with long-time manager Scooter Braun. Last year, he released the album "Swag" along with the deluxe version "Swag II," earning a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year.
