The boulevards of West Hollywood might typically backdrop Hailey Bieber’s most memorable street style outings, but the new mum has embraced a beloved New York uniform for her latest look.
On November 18, the 27-year-old stepped out on a girl’s night with Kendall Jenner to watch Sabrina Carpenter perform her Short’N’Sweet tour at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Rather than continue her postpartum penchant for ‘dad’ dressing or return to the ‘big top, small bottom’ formula she gravitated to before her pregnancy, Bieber went back to her roots in pieces that would be fixtures in any Manhattanite’s wardrobe.
Indeed, the model-turned-mogul arrived at the concert wearing a sheer, floral lace black top from Dolce & Gabbana, low-rise denim jeans in an effortlessly stylish stone wash and a chic, oversized fur coat.
Of course, as anyone who lived through the 2010s would know, this somewhat grungy outfit template was the silhouette du jour a decade ago. Fusing bohemian elements with practical pieces that could take you from dinner at Balthazar to a basement band show, you couldn’t escape an evening in the city without seeing at least one variation of this outline.
This was, in part, thanks to the influence of the Olsen Twins, who would regularly pair forms of this look with their distressed Hermès Birkins. But also the popularity of Parisian label Isabel Marant, who encouraged these rebellious textural contrasts. It’s unexpected to see the internet’s perennial clean girl incorporate the hallmarks of indie sleaze into her way of dressing, yet Bieber did give us a reasonable explanation for this sudden shift.
As proclaimed on the Rhode Beauty Instagram account, Bieber is currently embracing all things cinnamon in celebration of her birthday-themed Peptide Lip Tint in Cinnamon Roll.
The coveted lip balm has been rendered in a shimmering, spiced brown shade perfect for the fall season ahead, leaving Bieber to transform everything from her signature chrome nails to her trademark trenching in this autumnal hue. With cozy caramel knits to latte makeup, creamy shearling coats and deep espresso suede loafers, Bieber is bringing a bit of spice to her end-of-year dressing.
