Hailey Bieber has long been a blueprint for modern “off-duty” dressing, often balancing high-fashion silhouettes with effortless, West Coast sensibilities.
On a bright afternoon in Los Angeles in May 2021, the model and Rhode Beauty founder offered a masterclass in “business chic,” proving that professional attire can be both structured and daring.
Centering her look around neutral tones and sculptural footwear, Bieber showcased a sophisticated mix of emerging designers and established luxury houses. The ensemble served as a definitive example of the “clean girl” aesthetic that would go on to define the era’s street style.

Showing off her toned midriff, the American model added a sultry twist to business chic in Jacquemus’ cropped white “La Chemise Laurier” shirt.
The $420 cotton-poplin design features an open spread collar and distinctive crossover canvas straps for a modern, sculptural finish.
As one of the most sought-after models today, Hailey made sure to highlight her long, slim pins by wearing a pair of figure-hugging beige trousers from French influencer Anne-Laure Mais’s Musier Paris. These high-waisted slacks have retro-style flared legs and bottom side slits.

The successful entrepreneur pulled her tresses up into a sleek center-parted chignon bun and wore neutral-toned makeup to keep a polished look.
For her accessories, she had on a pair of Balenciaga B gold hoop earrings and retro-looking stone-framed Reality Eyewear Xray Specs.
