Hailey Bieber Spices Up Her Velvet Holiday Suit by Sneakily Taking Off Her Sweater
She won the weekend of Christmas parties.
The three pillars of holiday party outfits are sugar, spice, and everything nice. Guess which one Hailey Bieber is leaning all the way into this season?
On Dec. 7, the Rhode founder supported Gigi Hadid's latest Guest in Residence boutique opening in a gift of an evening outfit styled by Dani Michelle. She raided the Saint Laurent archives for a vintage velvet skirt suit circa 2002, in a delicious shade of wine red that coordinated with her pal's sweater vest and mini skirt. Bieber posed in front Hadid's winter cashmere hangers looking pretty as a present, complete with a black velvet bow tied into her half-up, half-down hairstyle and a black sweater tied over her shoulders. But Bieber had more plans for the night than shopping her friend's store—and they involved making a sexy outfit adjustment.
Shortly after dropping by the store, the Peppermint Glaze Treatment inventor hit Los Angeles hotspot Wally's for dinner with Kylie Jenner. Their girls' night out dress code involved Bieber ditching the sweater she'd worn to Hadid's grand opening party. Without it primly tied over her shoulders, she revealed a red-hot styling hack: She opted out of wearing a shirt underneath her blazer.
Merry red holiday outfits have been Bieber's uniform of late. Just days earlier, she advertised her latest Rhode gift set in a micro-mini red dress and a fluffy fur coat.
Bieber's shirt-free suit might be a little NSFWP (not safe for work parties), but it can fly for an intimate dinner or a white elephant gift exchange with friends. Of course, take it from the Rhode mogul herself: Tying a sweater over one of the jackets below can completely change its vibe.
