Missed the British singer's head-to-toe pink getup at Coachella last weekend? Have no fear -- round two is here.

If you were wondering what inspired Kate Nash's set at Coachella, the British songstress didn't leave much to the imagination. Dressed head-to-toe in pink (Nash dyed her new shorter locks a shocking magenta for the affair), the womanly theme was also carried through with a sculptured replica of a vagina on stage.

"I wanted to create this feeling of being in the womb," said Nash, who worked with stylist Ali Mandelkorn and designer Rose Lagrua of L.A.-basedfashion labelThat's Totally Fine to create a customized onstage outfit for the occasion. "We all went shopping for material a few weeks ago, and I had an idea that Rose sketched out, said Los Angeles-based Nash, who can regularly be found scoring vintage pieces in Echo Park and Downtown. The result was a Barbie-meets-the-space-age pink confection, complete with a flowing cape. Nash wasn't the only one making a pink statement for the weekend: Her bandmates and friends also rocked the rosy shade in the desert.

This marks the second time the singer has played Coachella; her first performance took place in 2008. "I was so young when I first played it, and a lot was happening in my life that was life-changing," she explained. "I feel like I am a much better performer now, and I've honed my craft a lot more."

If you missed Nash performing songs from her three albums in all her pink glory, have no fear: The singer will again take to the stage in her getup on Friday, April 18.

Before hitting the main stage with Blood Orange on Sunday, we couldn't help but notice the performer's cool digit dusters while she performed at STYLEBOP.com's Coachella barbecue brunch.

While weekend one of the music fest is officially over, prep for round two with the former Juicy Couture co-owner's preferred style in the desert.
