Hail(y)ing the 80s: Hailey Bieber Nails the Oversized Shoulder Pad Trend!

Hailey Bieber confidently embraces her adoration for ‘80s fashion, once again reinforcing the enduring appeal of shoulder pads. Demonstrating her style prowess, the 26-year-old model was spotted in New York City on Sunday, November 19, donning a long and elegant dark purple double-breasted coat. The standout feature of the coat were its substantial shoulder pads, which added a bold touch. Cinched at the waist, the coat boasted sleek black buttons and practical front pockets.

Bieber complemented the attention-grabbing garment with a black V-neck sweater, a Lado Bokuchava miniskirt in black, black sheer tights, and black ballet flats. She completed her ensemble with a maroon duffle-style top handle handbag and black sunglasses.

Bieber opted for a modest approach, adorning herself with just a pair of gold mini hoop earrings, minimal makeup, and a side-parted straight hairstyle.

The Rhode founder is renowned for her affinity for ‘80s fashion, frequently captured in photographs donning voluminous apparel, bold silhouettes, and shoulder pads reminiscent of that era.

Earlier this month, on November 7th, Hailey Bieber was spotted once again embracing the oversized camel blazer trend. She effortlessly rocked the look while running errands in Los Angeles, with standout shoulder pads that added to the stylish ensemble.

Princess Diana was one of her top fashion inspirations from the '80s. Bieber expressed admiration for the fact that Diana, who was the most-observed woman at that time, had the freedom to express herself through her unique style, regardless of her position.

In August 2019, Bieber gained fame when she collaborated with Vogue Paris for a photoshoot that paid tribute to Princess Diana's iconic style. The shoot showcased Bieber wearing biker shorts, oversized sweatshirts, and blazers adorned with the classic shoulder pads.

During her interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Hailey Bieber expressed her empathy towards the late Princess’ well-known battles with the media. She often feels the need to appear camera-ready all the time due to the constant scrutiny she faces. "There are times when I feel like I put pressure on myself because I am constantly being photographed," she shared with the magazine. "Even if I'm just wearing jeans and a T-shirt, I want them to be stylish and fashionable!"
