Last week Hailey Bieber revealed that she underwent heart surgery last month after experiencing stroke-like symptoms. Despite the terrifying health scare, the supermodel persevered and attended the 2022 Met Gala this evening and not to stray from tradition, wore Saint Laurent.

In sticking with the ‘Gilded Glamour’ theme – sort of and albeit far pared back compared to some of her fellow guests – Bieber paid tribute to seventies’ supermodel, Jerry Hall. An iteration of the gown was once worn by the model on the Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2002 runway and channels old Hollywood glamour with a halter-style neckline and silk wrap with billowing trumpet sleeves trimmed with feathers. Beautiful, but safe.

The look was paired with fishnet stockings, crystal-adorned strappy heels and jewellery supplied by Tiffany & Co.

Unlike Hall’s sleek finger waves and red lip, Bieber opted for a slicked bun with a middle part and fresh dewy makeup.

The 25-year-old is a regular guest at the Met Gala and after so many years, the model has changed her approach. “I feel like now my preparation is a little bit different, just trying to stay relaxed. Obviously there is a little bit of jitters that come with it because it is such a massive event… trying to enjoy it and be present,” she said on the red carpet.

Husband Justin Bieber is not in attendance this year as he continues his North American World Tour. In 2021 the couple faced unwarranted criticism from Jelena fans who could be heard shouting Selena Gomez’ name from the crowd. In a recent moment of candidness of the model’s social media, Bieber begged trolls to leave her alone.
