For me, covering Hailey Bieber's birthday outfit (or outfits) has become an annual affair—one I look forward to every November. From velvet archival Mugler in 2023 to vintage Gucci by Tom Ford last year, few stars celebrate another trip around the sun as lavishly as Bieber. This year, she surprised me in jeans and a sequin going-out top: her easiest birthday look to copy yet.
On November 23 (technically, the day after she turned 29), Bieber reminisced on "the best week ringing in 29" with an after-birthday Instagram post. Her carefully-curated round-up began with the aforementioned jeans set, but her sleeveless top wasn't your average tank. Turns out, it's a circa-2000s vintage DKNY find, which she sourced from Herpium, a Black and Asian-owned secondhand store based in the Netherlands. Iridescent, square-shaped sequins cascaded from the high halter neck down the cropped hem. Matching silver ties laced up the back like a corset.
