Hailey Bieber Goes Primal in Custom Giorgio Armani Privé at the 2026 Oscars After-Party

Hailey Bieber proved that if you only tune into the 2026 Oscars red carpet, then you're missing out on some of the night's most jaw-dropping gowns. The Rhode founder arrived at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party on March 15 showing her wild side in custom Giorgio Armani Privé. I'm calling it now: It'll be on every best-dressed list from the evening.

Departing from her favorite naked dresses, Bieber wore a golden gown with a fully embroidered leopard-print design, featuring a strapless neckline and a subtle train. Working with longtime stylist Dani Michelle, Bieber accessorized her red-carpet look with a chain choker and a heart pendant draped down her back, along with her rumored new engagement ring. On the beauty front, she kept her glam soft and warm-toned, her signature, with a flippy bob and a red manicure for a pop of color.

Fashion fans may recognize Bieber's Glamoratti look—it was inspired by a gown from Giorgio Armani Privé's Fall 2005 collection. Bieber's dress was a near replica of a strapless animal-printed number from the early aughts collection, although the star opted for a higher neckline and minimal accessories.

As a bona fide It girl, Bieber often turns to vintage finds for both her everyday wardrobe and red carpet moments. Most recently, she tracked down a vintage Issey Miyake matching set for husband Justin's birthday celebrations. And for last year's Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, Bieber went the vintage route with a Yves Saint Laurent gown from 1987. The look was pure elegance with a strapless silhouette, complete with a fitted bodice, a bow at the waist, and a sheer organza skirt.

Once again, Bieber has proved that turning to the past may be the key to landing one of the most memorable looks on the red carpet.
