Hailey Bieber Turned 29 in Vintage Heels and the $74 Jeans Fashion People Swear Are Better Than Designer
A big HBD is owed to model and Rhode founder Hailey Bieber, who turned 29 on Saturday (our Sagittarius queen). To mark the occasion, Bieber celebrated with family and friends, posting about her white birthday cake and customized matchbooks that were decorated with drawings of martinis, cherubs, and poker motifs on Instagram. She also shared her look for the evening, which just so happened to include every fashion person's favorite non-designer jeans. The best part? I just found them for $74, marked down from $98, on Shopbop during Black Friday. Feel free to thank me once you've bought at least one pair in your size.
Specifically, Bieber chose a vintage pair of Levi's 501 jeans. She wore them low-waisted with a vintage DKNY sequin top and vintage Manolo Blahnik Callasli heels in gold, which were sourced from The Vintage Marché. Her denim might be pre-loved, but the new versions by Levi's are made just the same way, and when worn enough, they're guaranteed to develop a patina in the same desirable way that makes people dig through thrift stores, online secondhand websites, and flea markets in search of a pair.
