When spending the festive and ski seasons in Aspen, you can usually find Hailey Bieber ensconced in cozy coats, usually an animal print, by way of vintage Ralph Lauren or Saint Laurent. Now we’ve officially hit warmer weather and the knell for summer will soon toll on the fast approaching solstice, Bieber continues to hold onto her leopard print allegiance.
Yesterday (June 10), Hailey Bieber made her first public appearance since closing her major deal on her beauty and skincare behemoth brand Rhode. The beauty mogul took to the stage of The Business of Beauty Global Forum to discuss her brand’s acquisition for a cool billion. And of course, for the occasion, Bieber wore Saint Laurent—as a close friend of creative director Anthony Vaccarello, even recently presenting him for an award for his own achievements, and as an ambassador for the house.

The recent Vogue cover star opted for a leopard print crepe mini-dress with an open back and ruched front, with black open-toed pumps. Bieber wore her hair in a middle part, curled delicately to the ends. Her nails were a soft, pale pink, and her makeup was minimal—maybe a hint of Rhode’s pocket blush in Piggy.
The mini-dress is a Bieber staple, usually paired with a sleek pump and a set of dark sunglasses. Saint Laurent is an obvious go-to, but Bieber and her stylist Dani Michelle have also surfaced some major mini archive finds, like a Tom Ford-era, icy blue number. It’s long been the time of the LBD, the animal print trend is proving itself transeasonal—and the Little Leopard Dress is a statement maker like no other.
