Hailey Bieber Elevated Her Latest Winter Look By Breaking Multiple Fashion Rules

Hailey Bieber just taught us a winter style lesson that we won’t be able to stop trying in the coming weeks.

Hailey Bieber and Dani Michelle are the perfect stylistic duo, and all you have to do is look at the looks with which the former surprises, the result of the imagination that constitutes her work together with the latter.. In her latest appearance, Bieber surprised with a coordinated velvet set from the archives, signed by Yves Saint Laurent. Bieber and Michelle merged top trends of fall-winter 2024-2025—the set’s burgundy color—with the most Christmassy ones—the velvet fabric—to encourage combinations this Holiday season.

The outfit was paired with sheer black tights, stilettos, and a plushy Prada bag—this fuzzy fabric is everywhere—but if there was one thing that stood out about her stylistic choices, it was the way she wore the knitted sweater that came with the outfit. The ‘insider’ trick hasn’t gone unnoticed—and yes, we are talking about the way Bieber draped her sweater over her shoulders.

In both autumn and spring, this way of wearing the sweater is typical given the changes in temperature, but it was not so typical in winter, when we truly need the extra layer. When worn this, the garment loses some functionality to become just another ornamental object in our outfits. Just ask Hailey Bieber!

The founder of Rhode deliberately placed a black knitted sweater—of course, from her great friend Gigi Hadid’s brand, Guest In Residence—over the shoulders of her Yves Saint Laurent jacket . The choice of color, matching the tights, was a pure cry of daring, since shades so close to each other in the chromatic spectrum are usually subject to a certain prohibition. Taboos aside and digested, burgundy can be worn with black, black with brown, and pink with red.
