INDIO, CALIFORNIA: After Kylie Jenner posted images from Coachella 2026 on Instagram, unverified images of her quickly went viral, sparking widespread speculation online.

Claim: Kylie Jenner swapped a Justin Bieber shirt for Timothee Chalamet
An X user, @lalisatto, shared two images allegedly showing Kylie Jenner at Coachella 2026 wearing a white T-shirt reading “Future MRS. Bieber,” with “CHALAMET” handwritten underneath as a correction.
In the images, she is also seen pairing the top with a pink fluffy tutu skirt, chunky boots, and oversized sunglasses. The posts quickly gained attention, with many users in the replies dismissing them as fake, pointing out inconsistencies such as her appearance in general admission areas and an outfit style that does not align with her usual fashion choices.
Kylie Jenner and Justin Bieber have long maintained a close and friendly relationship rooted in their shared experience of growing up in the public eye. Over the years, they have occasionally supported each other at public events such as Coachella, with their bond widely described as platonic, including instances where Bieber has reportedly offered guidance during Kylie’s more challenging moments in the spotlight.
Fact Check: Kylie Jenner did not swap a Justin Bieber shirt for Timothee Chalamet
While the post generated more than 5 million views, the viral images depicting Kylie Jenner at Coachella 2026 are fake.
Kylie Jenner has been actively documenting her Coachella 2026 appearance, and she has not posted any image of herself wearing a white T-shirt reading “FUTURE MRS. BIEBER” (with “Bieber” crossed out and “CHALAMET” written below), paired with a pink tutu skirt and sunglasses. This outfit, along with the associated visuals, has been confirmed as an AI-generated edit.
Reports indicate that Kylie Jenner’s actual Coachella 2026 wardrobe featured Bieber-themed merchandise, tank tops and pieces from the SKYLRK brand. In contrast, the circulating images with the “Future Mrs. Bieber/Chalamet” shirt and pink tutu do not match her real appearances and are inconsistent with verified event visuals.
On Friday, Jenner shared an Instagram post showing her arrival at Coachella, where she wore a sparkling tank top featuring a graphic of Justin Bieber and carried SKYLRK bags while standing near a SKYLRK-branded setup.
Hailey Bieber, wife of Justin Bieber, has maintained a close friendship with Kylie and Kendall Jenner since the early 2010s. SKYLRK, Bieber’s clothing and lifestyle brand, is also expected to have a significant presence at the Coachella venue.
