Hailey Bieber made a striking appearance while flying solo at the third annual Fashion Trust Awards, held on Tuesday, April 8, in West Hollywood.
For the star-studded soirée, the model and Rhode beauty mogul chose a curve-skimming aubergine-colored gown by Saint Laurent, a luxury label for which she serves as an ambassador and enjoys a close relationship with its creative director, Anthony Vaccarello.
While Hailey, 28, opted to skip the traditional red carpet, she played a significant role inside the event, presenting Vaccarello with the Honorary Award in recognition of his profound impact on the fashion industry.
Notably absent from the event was Hailey’s husband, Justin Bieber (who share a son, Jack Blues, 7 months). However, the singer made sure to publicly show his support for his wife’s stunning look by taking to Instagram to post a photo of Hailey in her elegant attire, followed by a close-up selfie of her, too.

Justin, 31, chose to let the images speak for themselves, foregoing a caption. Still, his sweet gesture resonated with fans, as evidenced by supportive comments like “Gotta support our better halves 💕.”
Another follower echoed this sentiment, writing, “Justin is always super supportive to Hailey. Bro posts more about Hailey than himself 😭😭.”
Hailey’s choice of attire, a chic aubergine halter dress, perfectly embodied her and Vaccarello’s shared aesthetic of restrained yet striking glamour. The dress featured a distinctive wraparound, ruched fabric, strategically placed cut-outs and a sheer skirt, creating a sultry, alluring silhouette.
She even coordinated her nails to match the deep purple hue of her dress, a departure from her usual “glazed donut” manicure, opting instead for an eggplant shade. Her glam remained characteristically understated and beautifully natural, featuring a subtle lip tint and highlighter.

She complemented the look with a few Tiffany & Co. cocktail rings, allowing the dress to take center stage. Her brunette hair was styled down with soft, barely-there curls, while her signature lit-from-within glowing skin completed the polished ensemble’s subtle sheen.
During the evening, Hailey and Vaccarello were seen posing together, enjoying chicken nuggets topped with caviar and even filming an Instagram Story dancing and singing at their star table.
Hailey also mingled with other stylish guests, including Normani, who donned vintage Geoffrey Beene, as well as Lori Harvey and Ciara. Other fashionable attendees included Julia Fox, who embraced a bold and theatrical Marni polka-dot frock (replete with vaudevillian makeup), model Aweng Chuol in Oude Wang and Kehlani in a look by Grace Ling.
Meanwhile, Hailey delivered a heartfelt speech honoring Vaccarello’s contributions. According to Vogue, she gushed, “There is a purpose in every stitch. Anthony Vaccarello, your journey is a testament to the transformative power of fashion, and we are so proud to celebrate you.”
