When spending the festive and ski seasons in Aspen, you can usually find Hailey Bieber ensconced in cozy coats, usually an animal print, by way of vintage Ralph Lauren or Saint Laurent. Now we’ve officially hit warmer weather and the knell for summer will soon toll on the fast approaching solstice, Bieber continues to hold onto her leopard print allegiance.
Yesterday (June 10), Hailey Bieber made her first public appearance since closing her major deal on her beauty and skincare behemoth brand Rhode. The beauty mogul took to the stage of The Business of Beauty Global Forum to discuss her brand’s acquisition for a cool billion. And of course, for the occasion, Bieber wore a major piece of vintage.
The recent Vogue cover star opted for a leopard print faux fur mini-dress from Gianni Versace’s fall winter 1996 collection—also once worn by a young Kate Moss—with black and gold hardware open-toed pumps. Bieber wore her hair in a middle part, curled delicately to the ends. Her nails were a soft, pale pink, and her makeup was minimal—maybe a hint of Rhode’s pocket blush in Piggy.
Bieber’s stylist Dani Michelle picked up the dress from The RealList, the celebrity-fave vintage and second-hand luxury dealer specializing in ’90s and early 2000s fashion, which the duo have tapped often. See: Bieber’s vintage Mugler pinstripe skirt suit from the fall winter 1998 collection.
The mini-dress is a Bieber staple, usually paired with a sleek pump and a set of dark sunglasses. Saint Laurent is an obvious go-to for the house ambassador, but Bieber and Michelle have also surfaced some major mini archive finds, like a Tom Ford-era, icy blue number (also sourced by The RealList), and other Versace pieces too. It’s long been the time of the LBD, the animal print trend is proving itself transeasonal—and the Little Leopard Dress is a statement maker like no other.
