The Oscars after-party is a time for celebrities to let their hair down and enjoy the night away in style. And that’s precisely what Hailey Bieber did, despite rumors of an ongoing feud with pop star Selena Gomez.
Justin Bieber’s wife graced the 95th Academy Awards’ Vanity Fair after-party in a stunning black gown that perfectly encapsulated her understated sense of fashion.

Hailey’s custom-made Saint Laurent dress was a long-sleeved black gown that exuded timeless elegance. The dress featured one sleeve that extended into a glove, while the other was embellished with a sizable bow at the shoulder.
Her evening gown had a shiny contrast on one side, constructed of an entirely different jet-black material, giving it a unique and elegant touch that was hard to miss.
The Rhode founder chose neutral makeup and stylish diamond jewelry to complete her look. Her vibrant red nail polish added a pop of color to her otherwise monochromatic ensemble.
However, Hailey’s big night out was not without drama. It was her first time in the spotlight following the alleged height of her conflict with Selena Gomez. Since Justin Bieber proposed to Hailey in 2018, fans have questioned whether the two ladies have been at war.

The drama escalated when Hailey posted a rumored sketchy video with Kendall Jenner and Justine Skye lip-syncing to a song that said, “And I’m not saying she deserved it, but I’m saying God’s timing is always right.”
Hailey removed the video, but the Only Murders in the Building star responded with a TikTok post, reassuring her followers that she was still holding her head high.
The back and forth continued, but Selena eventually left the platform after thanking the audience for their support and urging her followers to be kind to one another.

While fans may have been keeping tabs on the alleged conflict between Hailey and Selena, the model seemed unbothered by the drama as she remained poised and elegant throughout the evening.
Meanwhile, Hailey’s pop star husband, Justin Bieber, skipped the red carpet walk with her, but they reunited inside the glittering celebration.
As reported by Vanity Fair, Justin Bieber arrived at the party “wearing what appeared to be a quilted blanket on his back and immediately went up to Clippers star Russell Westbrook, who was clad in head-to-toe Thom Browne.”

However, reports suggest that the 29-year-old musician did not seem like his usual self during the party, leading some to speculate about his well-being. According to sources that spoke with Page Six, “Justin did not look well. He was hunched over and wearing a blanket” while looking “weird” and “tormented.”
Earlier that day, Justin had written a dedication to Hailey and a photo of them cuddling under the sun. He wrote, “LUV U BABY,” to which Hailey replied, “🫶🏼.”
On Monday, Hailey ran errands with her husband in a striped Loewe wool polo top ($990 at Mytheresa) paired with a Previously Known jacket, Denim by Orlee Levi’s 501 vintage jeans, black Bottega Veneta Tex mules shaped with a curved block heel and an elongated squared point toe, a Miu Miu Miu Wander matelassé mini bag ($2,600 at Farfetch) and Saint Laurent 557 sunglasses.

Despite the drama and speculation surrounding the couple, a source told Us Weekly that Hailey has “been leaning on Justin and knows he has her back no matter what.”
The insider added, “their marriage is stronger than ever, and it’s challenging times like this that only strengthen their bond.”
