Hailey Bieber Channels the ’80s in Coat With Shoulder Pads
Hailey Bieber, the 26-year-old model, has once again embraced her love for ’80s fashion. She was spotted in New York City on Sunday, November 19, wearing a stunning floor-length dark purple coat with bold shoulder pads. The double-breasted coat, featuring black buttons and two front pockets, accentuated her waist and added a touch of elegance to her outfit.
To complete the look, Bieber paired the eye-catching coat with a black V-neck sweater, a trendy black miniskirt by Lado Bokuchava, black sheer tights, and comfortable black ballet flats. She accessorized with a stylish maroon duffle-inspired top handle purse and chic black sunglasses. Keeping it simple, she wore minimal makeup, gold mini hoop earrings, and straightened her hair with a sleek side part.
Bieber’s fashion choices often reflect her admiration for ’80s styles, and she effortlessly pulls off oversized clothing, exaggerated silhouettes, and, of course, shoulder pads. In fact, just a few weeks ago, on November 7, she was seen rocking an oversized camel blazer with standout shoulder pads while running errands in Los Angeles.
The model’s inspiration for her fashion sense comes from none other than the iconic Princess Diana, who was known for her bold and expressive style. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Bieber mentioned how she admired Princess Diana’s ability to express herself through fashion, despite being under constant scrutiny. In August 2019, she even paid tribute to the late Princess in a Vogue Paris photoshoot, where she recreated some of Diana’s most famous looks. This included biker shorts, oversized sweatshirts, and blazers with shoulder pads, capturing the essence of the ’80s.
Bieber also shared her relatability to Princess Diana’s struggles with the press, highlighting the pressure she feels to always look camera-ready. She expressed that even when she’s simply wearing jeans and a T-shirt, she wants it to be a stylish combination.
Hailey Bieber continues to inspire with her confident fashion choices, showing that ’80s trends are here to stay. For those who want to make a bold fashion statement, incorporating shoulder pads into your outfit can add a touch of glamour and nostalgia.
