Hailey Bieber made a striking fashion statement at the TIME100 Gala in New York City, stepping onto the red carpet in a custom Calvin Klein creation that highlighted her signature minimalist style with a modern, high-fashion edge.

The model and Rhode Beauty founder wore a sheer, silver-toned floral lace gown inspired by a 1992 Calvin Klein runway design, featuring a sculpted silhouette, delicate detailing, and a lingerie-like bodice structure. The look blended soft romantic textures with a sleek, body-skimming cut, reinforcing Bieber’s ongoing preference for understated yet impactful red carpet fashion.

Her appearance at the April 23, 2026 event marked a dramatic shift from her recent casual festival style during Coachella season, where she embraced more relaxed, bohemian outfits while supporting her husband, Justin Bieber. For the gala, she returned to a polished, high-fashion aesthetic that aligned with the event’s celebration of global influence and cultural leadership.

Bieber completed the look with minimal accessories and soft glam makeup, including a nude-toned lip and natural, glowing skin. Her hair was styled in loose waves, reinforcing the effortless elegance of the ensemble rather than competing with it.

The TIME100 Gala, held at Jazz at Lincoln Center, brought together some of the world’s most influential figures across entertainment, business, and culture, with celebrities using the red carpet to showcase bold interpretations of evening wear.

Bieber’s Calvin Klein moment stood out for its restrained color palette and vintage-inspired design direction, echoing the timeless appeal of early ’90s fashion minimalism.

Her look was widely noted as one of the standout fashion moments of the night, reinforcing her status as a consistent red carpet style figure who leans into clean lines, neutral tones, and archival references rather than heavily embellished couture.
