Hailey Bieber Mixes Power and Polish in Saint Laurent Leather Dress and White Pumps at WSJ Innovator Awards

She made headlines after selling her skincare brand, Rhode, to e.l.f. Beauty in a billion-dollar deal in May 2025.

On October 29, 2025, Hailey Bieber marked another milestone as she was honored with the Beauty Innovator of the Year Award at the 2025 WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards, held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

To celebrate her milestone, Hailey turned to one of her favorite designers, Saint Laurent, wearing an all-leather look straight from the Spring/Summer 2026 runway that debuted during Paris Fashion Week.

“I’m incredibly humbled to be recognized as a beauty innovator, an honor that has only been given to one other person: The iconic Pat McGrath,” she said in her speech. “Making the decision to believe wholeheartedly in your ideas and dreams and launch a brand takes an immense amount of guts,” she added.

Let’s take a closer look at her outfit for the evening.

Hailey Bieber Stuns in a Structured Leather Saint Laurent Corset Dress

Hailey is no stranger to minimalist power dressing, and this all-leather ensemble perfectly captures her signature sleek aesthetic. Saint Laurent’s creative director, Anthony Vaccarello, designed the look, which embodied the label’s daring blend of sophistication and understated sensuality.

Mrs. Bieber commanded attention in a black strapless leather dress that featured a corset-style bodice with silver-tone zips, a buttoned flap pocket, and a defined waistline that flattered her figure. A thick black belt with a silver buckle enhanced the fit, drawing attention to Hailey’s silhouette while also adding definition and a dash of biker-chic flair.

The dress’s supple leather pencil skirt maintained the structured silhouette, skimming just around the knees for a sharp yet sophisticated finish.

Hailey topped her ensemble with a matching leather biker jacket with zips, buckled straps, and silver hardware, adding even more attitude. The jacket made the outfit feel cool and effortless, with just the right amount of rock ‘n’ roll.

Effortless Glamour: Tiffany Diamonds and the “Clean Girl” Aesthetic

Rather than over-accessorizing, Hailey let her jewelry make quiet statements. She wore the $13,200 Tiffany & Co. Victoria Pearl and Diamond earrings, a stunning mix of South Sea cultured pearls and platinum-set round brilliant diamonds that added softness to the rugged leather. On her wrists, she stacked Tiffany & Co. Victoria Diamond Cluster bracelets. Of course, her Solow & Co. oval diamond engagement ring rounded out her jewelry choices. I thought it was wise of Hailey to keep her neck bare, letting her strapless neckline and sharp bone structure shine.

Her slicked-back bun enhanced the minimalist edge, while her makeup stayed true to her signature clean girl aesthetic. She wore smoky brown eyeshadow that subtly defined her eyes, a touch of warm blush, and a matte nude lipstick that tied the look together with understated elegance.

Outside the Museum of Modern Art, Hailey was spotted wearing a pair of ’90s cat-eye sunglasses. Her husband, Justin Bieber, was notably absent from the event.

Striking Contrast: White Saint Laurent Slingback Pumps Steal the Spotlight

A pair of white Saint Laurent slingback pumps and sheer black tights finished Hailey’s look, creating a striking visual contrast.

Hailey’s white slingback pumps aren’t a one-off — white heels have become a quiet statement piece for many A-listers this season. From Paris runways to red carpets, the minimalist silhouette continues to make waves.

The pumps featured elongated vamps and pointed toes, giving them that sharp, architectural edge that Saint Laurent is known for. Some might call them dramatic, but I think they added a fresh, modern touch to the all-black outfit. The slim slingback strap and square-cut stiletto heels added polish and poise to the look.
