Hailey Bieber recently turned heads by donning a piece of iconic fashion history. On Wednesday, April 30, the 28-year-old founder of Rhode exhibited an elegant spring look while traversing New York City. Her outfit choice was a baby blue shift dress by Gucci, designed by Tom Ford, hailing from the brand’s Spring/Summer 1998 collection. Known for her love of vintage fashion, Bieber once again dazzled, subtly referencing the upcoming Met Gala.
The style revelation was shared by Bieber’s stylist Dani Michelle on Instagram, where she disclosed that the dress was sourced from TheRealList, a high-end second-hand retailer. Interestingly, this particular dress has a notable provenance — it was previously worn by Anna Wintour. Renowned as a longstanding co-chair of the Met Gala, Wintour first donned the dress at a 1998 party hosted by the U.S. Embassy in Paris.
Adding her own flair, Hailey Bieber complemented the vintage piece with modern accessories: nude stilettos featuring PVC straps, stylish sunglasses, and a beige clutch. Her updated twist on the classic look seamlessly merged old-school glamour with contemporary chic, stepping up her fashion game ahead of the Met Gala.
