Hailey Bieber Wore the Surprising Trend That's Going to Be Controversial in 2022

I have a hunch that as soon as Hailey Bieber spotted one particular trend on the runway, she made a mental note to request it from the designer (which happened to be Saint Laurent, which she's an ambassador for). The trend in question is a catsuit, which she wore to an Art Basel event in Miami this week. The second-skin jumpsuit may not be the easiest trend from the S/S 22 runways to wear, but it certainly is memorable.
So how did I come to the conclusion that catsuits are a quickly rising trend, aside from Bieber's endorsement via a floral-print number? Tiffany Hsu, fashion buying director at Mytheresa, recently shared with me for The Luxury List that "We are seeing a big catsuit trend coming our way, where Saint Laurent is definitely the pioneer to look out for."
If you're ready to try the trend, my suggestion is to let the catsuit be the star of the show and keep your accessories and jewelry minimal, just as Bieber did. Scroll to see her look for yourself and to shop a few chic catsuits if you want a head start on the admittedly controversial trend.
