For Hailey Bieber, style and success have always gone hand in hand. And last night at WSJ. Magazine’s 2025 Innovator Awards in New York, the model and entrepreneur once again proved that she knows the power of a well-honed aesthetic — one built on confidence, texture, and impeccable tailoring.
True to form, Bieber arrived clad entirely in leather, her signature fabric of choice. The look, pulled from Saint Laurent’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, was designed by creative director Anthony Vaccarello, who joined her at the event. It was a moment of mutual admiration between muse and designer — and a perfect example of how sleek minimalism can double as quiet dominance.
The ensemble featured a structured moto jacket layered over a strapless corset top cinched with a wide belt, its zippers and front pocket giving just the right dose of edge. Below, a fitted pencil skirt in weathered black leather added refinement to the rebellion. Accessories struck a balance between polish and play: sheer tights, pearl-drop earrings, a diamond bracelet, and white leather slingbacks that offered an unexpected pop against the all-black palette.
As she accepted the 2025 Beauty Innovator Award for her billion-dollar brand Rhode — now part of E.l.f. Beauty — Bieber embodied the exact ethos that defines her work: effortless cool, unwavering precision, and a sense of modern femininity rooted in simplicity.
From her signature “glazed” skin to her unwavering devotion to leather, Hailey Bieber continues to prove that her influence extends far beyond the vanity mirror — she’s shaping the future of both beauty and style, one clean line at a time.
