But it wasn’t just his performance that caught attention—it was his outfit. Ramadan wore a custom-made, hand-beaded ensemble by Egyptian designer Faria Temraz. It is inspired by ancient Egyptian symbols and featuring the iconic key of life. The pharaonic-inspired attire sparked immediate reactions online. Some praised the bold cultural reference, while others criticized the look for being too provocative or controversial.

As a result, Mohamed Ramadan is now facing a probe by Egypt’s artistic unions regarding his appearance at the event. The investigation comes amid a wider debate on how cultural symbols are represented on international platforms.

Regardless of the reactions, Ramadan’s Coachella debut marks a milestone. His presence at one of the most-watched music festivals in the world brought major attention to Egyptian talent.
