As expected, TikTok was the first place o see Hailey Bieber’s new just-shy-of-the-jawline chop. Her reveal of the look started on January 21 with what we assumed to be a regular old outfit-of-the-day video on her TikTok feed. The caption simply read “oops,” as the camera shifted to a close-up view of Bieber’s shorter hair. She then strolled around New York City on January 22 with her bob haircut flowing in the Manhattan wind.
We have found endless inspiration in Bieber — like with the epic glazed donut manicure craze of 2022 — and she took inspiration from Margot Tenenbaum for this look, as Bieber revealed via Instagram Stories. She posted a mirror selfie with the caption, “Margot Tenenbaum for the foreseeable future,” referencing Wes Anderson’s 2001 character portrayed by Gwyneth Paltrow in the film, The Royal Tenenbaums.
The model’s haircut didn’t initiate a change in her signature street style, though. Bieber was dressed in a pleated miniskirt, a collared V-neck sweater à la Chandler Bing, and a black oversize trench coat with hard-to-miss statement sleeves, all pairing marvelously with her angular chop as she roamed around New York City. A classic Hailey look.
