Hailey Bieber before and after: beauty and style evolution
How has the model's look changed from her debut on the runways to today
November 22nd, 2023
Cool and chic. This is how Hailey Baldwin (now Bieber) defined her style: former dancer, and then model, one of the most popular and appreciated faces in the fashion industry today. However, it could certainly be said that the 27-year-old New Yorker goes far beyond the boundaries of this definition to the limit of the minimalist. Fresh, gritty and multifaceted, Hailey has always stood out for her street looks with opposing, classic and whimsical contaminations, and with a strong 90s soul, which earned the status of it-girl from her first moments on the red carpet at the beginning of 2010.
Hailey Bieber: the beginnings
Daughter of the youngest of the well-known Baldwin brothers, Hailey made her debut in the fashion world in 2014, after signing a contract with the American agency Ford Models, and since then she has come a long way, with appearances on the most iconic sector magazines. The limelight then came in 2016 with the catwalks of Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren, which guaranteed her a place on numerous runways and as an ambassador for brands such as Calvin Klein, Superga and Hilfiger himself, but also as a beauty testimonial for L'Oréal and Mac Cosmetics and many others in the industry.
A true trend setter
Her style, since her debut in the world-wide fashion scene, over time has allowed itself to be redefined by the most varied inspirations and trends of the moment. But it is her authentic and timeless DNA that has guaranteed her a place among the most loved and admired fashion names by fashionistas around the world. In 2018 Hailey married the well-known pop singer Justin Bieber and continues to inspire every day with her looks, her You Tube channel and with her beauty brand Rhode over 50 million followers on Instagram and not only her. Here's how the model's look has changed from the early 2010s to today.
Hairs
Let's start with the hair. One of Hailey's trademarks is her hairstyle: blonde long bob, often gathered in a top knot and ponytail sometimes using an elastic scrunchie, or in more whimsical boxer braids. Her blondie girl look has gone from platinum blonde shades of 2016, to the most recent and classic ash blonde. But without missing some exceptions, such as a brunette period, or some more pop moments with pink hair. It-girl and girl next door, Hailey has been able to follow the trends of recent years, sometimes dictating them herself, as for the bangs, maxi or curtain. Lately we see her with an even more natural and cool style: yoke cut, center line and super glamorous mermaid waves.
Beauty and make up
Hailey's beauty mantra seems to be only one: less is more, obviously with the exception of the catwalk and the shoots. Her natural style, super natural and minimal, has remained a constant over the years, lighting up for the most sophisticated looks of earth-colored, light and slightly shiny smokey eyes makeup, lots of mascara, lip gloss or nude lips or overlined. However, Mrs Bieber's passion for makeup and skincare routines is now well known, as evidenced by her celebrity beauty brand in her name, Rhode, set to debut this year. But what is her beauty secret? According to the model, hydration. A principle to which Hailey remains faithful thanks to the use of many creams, moisturizers and drinking liters of water a day. Will that be the secret of his highly envied and perfect "glazed skin"?
Style, trend and inspirations
Hayley Bieber's must-haves
When you have Virgil Abloh designing your wedding dress, there is very little to add. Hailey Baldwin is the undisputed fashion queen from the street to the red carpet. But far from the super glam looks on the catwalk or the red carpet, the model juggles between sporty looks with large volumes and more feminine outfits, making her versatility a strength of her. Mrs Bieber skilfully flaunts oversized hoodies and cargo pants, often signed by her husband's brand, Drew, completing her look with OG sneakers, it bags and 90s-inspired accessories. Her must-haves include basic items such as t-shirts, crop tops, jeans, and biker shorts, alternating with mini and bodycon dresses, oversized blazers, leather pants, and denim jackets. Finishing with sunglasses and for the cold seasons, she loose-fit outerwear to great effect. Always on the wave of new trends, Hailey is assisted in her style choices by the well-known wardrobe stylist Maeve Reilly, who accompanies her on the discovery of new emerging talents and ultra-glam garments.
Ever more sophisticated
She also collaborates with celebrity stylist Karla Welch, who recently curated looks such as the one worn at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty or the Ellen Degeneres Show. In front of the flashes and cameras of big events, the model wears tight mini-dresses, dresses with maxi lengths and interesting cut-outs, obviously signed by the big names in fashion such as Saint Laurent and Versace. One thing is certain, for the red carpet Hailey always remains of the go big or go home philosophy, opting for a super glamorous look, including sparkles, sequins, transparencies, laces, very long trains, or vibrant blocks of color, like a real fashion muse .
