Blue has been the standout color this spring, and as summer approaches, shades like cornflower and sky blue show no signs of fading—especially with Hailey Bieber’s stamp of approval.

The Rhode founder and model was spotted in New York last night (April 30) wearing a pale blue shift dress—a vintage piece from Gucci’s Spring/Summer 1998 collection, designed during Tom Ford’s era. Styled by her go-to collaborator Dani Michelle, the dress was sourced from The RealList, a luxury vintage dealer known for ’90s and early 2000s fashion. The same platform has dressed stars like Olivia Rodrigo in Mugler, Kylie Jenner in Versace, and Bieber herself for her après-ski looks in Aspen.

Bieber paired the dress with nude satin and perspex heels, along with a soft, latte-colored clutch. Her makeup stayed in the same muted palette—a brown smoky eye, nude nails, and contoured lips, likely using Rhode’s “Balance” caramel brown lip liner.

Color has always been a playful element in Bieber’s style, while still keeping her signature cool-girl sophistication. Butter yellow is a longtime favorite, but lately, she’s been embracing sky and sea-inspired blues. Just last week, while accepting the Beauty Innovator of the Year award at the Daily Front Row Fashion Los Angeles Awards 2025, she wore an electric blue and black bustier dress from Schiaparelli’s Fall 2025 collection. A subtle nod to the brand’s history, the dress featured a motif inspired by an astrakhan suit once worn by Elsa Schiaparelli herself.

Celebrities embracing blue is nothing new—Jennifer Lawrence recently championed cobalt as the perfect transitional shade. Meanwhile, lighter blues, like the one in Bieber’s Gucci look, have been spotted on runways from Alaïa to Loewe, Chloé, and Chanel. This soft hue offers a fresh alternative to neutrals, much like trending shades such as pale pink and butter yellow—effortlessly adding color while keeping things polished.

And with her son named Jack Blues Bieber, it’s only fitting that this shade becomes her go-to, especially as his first birthday approaches this summer.
