When Hailey Bieber steps out, it’s rarely just another night out—it’s a study in modern glamour. Over the weekend, the Rhode founder balanced celebration and sophistication, attending back-to-back events, from the Academy Museum Gala in Schiaparelli to Kylie Jenner’s Kylie Cosmetics anniversary soirée. And true to form, Bieber delivered a look that was equal parts minimalist and magnetic.
For the pop-up celebration, Bieber opted for a little black dress with quiet drama, courtesy of Jackson Wiederhoeft, the New York–based designer redefining couture romanticism for a new generation. The midi-length gown, crafted in glossy, responsibly sourced satin, featured spaghetti straps, a square neckline, and a high slit that revealed just enough leg to keep the silhouette alluring but restrained. A wide satin belt cinched her waist, creating a sculpted hourglass line that made simplicity feel subversive.
Styled by longtime collaborator Dani Michelle, the look was finished with exaggerated pointed-toe heels—a power move that elongated the frame and underscored Bieber’s effortless poise.
The choice of Wiederhoeft was both strategic and inspired. A Parsons graduate and Thom Browne alum, Wiederhoeft launched their eponymous label in 2019, fusing costume-like opulence with emotional, hand-finished detail. Their designs—often a dance between fantasy and structure—have graced the likes of Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, and Taylor Swift, who recently donned a floral corset from the brand’s The Life of a Showgirl collection.
Bieber’s sleek satin number, from Wiederhoeft’s Autumn/Winter 2025 capsule for Moda Operandi, is yet another reminder that her style speaks softly but with intention. While others chase trends, she curates moments—each look a meditation on balance: classic but current, sensual but serene.
In the hands of Hailey Bieber, the little black dress never stays little—it becomes legend.
