Hailey Bieber is often channelling the quiet luxury aesthetic. The model – who is a regular in our Style Notes celebrity fashion series – often relies on timeless, chic classics from the likes of The Frankie Shop, Khaite and Magda Butrym. And, her latest look is the epitome of quiet luxury – she just stepped out in The Row.
This week, Bieber headed out for dinner looking effortlessly chic in a timeless black dress by the brand; The Row is a firm favourite among the most stylish celebrity crowd, with Jennifer Lawrence’s recent street style being firmly on our fashion mood board. The quiet luxury aesthetic is all about avoiding logos or anything too trend-led. Instead, look to investment pieces, made from the highest-quality fabrics, designed to be worn for decades.
Here’s how to style the look for yourself:
The Look
Bieber’s strapless LBD did all the talking here, and she let her accessories complement the quiet luxury aesthetic. The model simply teamed the dress with black heels, Bottega Veneta’s cult Drop earrings in gold and a patent handbag.
She also kept her beauty look simple, wearing her bob sleek and straight, while her make-up was brown and glossy. She’s one of many celebrities currently embracing the ‘latte make-up’ moment – focusing on shades such as coffee and caramel-coloured hues for a softer smokey eye, on a base of bronzey sunkissed skin. It was the perfect accompaniment to her LBD.
Why it works
While you may usually reserve your LBD for party season, Bieber proves why you shouldn’t. Why not use it to get dressed up for a mid-week dinner? Her simple heels and wear-with-everything handbag keeps her The Row dress from looking over the top and too formal, with her glossy brown lip giving it a cool-girl feel.
Why it’s a forever classic
We all know the power of the humble LBD. Over fashion’s history, the style has become one of the most iconic, as it never feels dated or out of style. Some of history’s most emulated women, from Audrey Hepburn to Princess Diana, have all relied on the classic time and time again. Bieber’s dinner look would feel just as chic if it was 10 years ago, now or 10 years into the future, proving the timeless beauty of the black dress.
How to style it
The beauty of the black dress is it suits any occasion and can be dressed up or down. While we love Bieber’s simple yet sophisticated styling, the black dress would look just as good when styled with sandals, layered over a white shirt or with knee-high boots for an autumn-approved outfit.
