She was only in town for a day or so, but Hailey Bieber, queen of the outfit change, made every minute count in Paris. Most spectacular of all was the dress she wore for dinner at Le Bar des Prés - a silk slip the colour of raspberry lemonade that was vintage Gucci. Paired with frosted eyeshadow and sock-style platform boots, it very much circa now with a dash of Y2K.
But let's rewind to her arrival. Bieber - whose off-duty wardrobe has serious game - turned up wearing a hard-working trio that fans will know is something of a signature: a white tee, a pair of wide-leg jeans and an oversized blazer, all from Khaite. It was polished and yet entirely low-maintenance, especially when paired with the model's go-tos: a snake chain necklace from Fallon, and Nike Air Force 1s.
Later that evening, she stepped out wearing her favourite Saint Laurent, a floor-sweeping faux-fur coat with strappy sandals that left a stretch of tanned leg on show.
The following morning, Bieber chose a biker coat from Balenciaga, which she paired with yet more wide-leg denim (this time from Nomia) and square-toed loafers by Jil Sander.
For a lesson in packing (with serious impact), look no further.
