Hailey Bieber just dropped her newest Instagram photo dump for“August so far,”and one look is taking over the conversation. She’s rocking a bright yellow velvet bikini from Pacsun, which is a pretty surprising choice for peak summer weather. The bikini retails for $140 but is currently on sale for $84, making it a solid deal for anyone wanting to copy the look without breaking the bank. However, she decided to accessorize the affordable swimwear with Jessica McCormack diamond drop earrings worth a cool $20,000. It’s the ultimate high-low fashion moment, and only Hailey could pull it off.
This isn’t the first time velvet swimwear has hit the scene. Models like Bella Hadid and Winnie Harlow were spotted in velvet bikinis a few years ago, but the trend kind of faded out. Now, with Hailey stepping out in the cozy-but-questionable summer fabric, it looks like the trend might be making a comeback. She’s been on a swimwear bender this summer, too, recently wearing two hot pink Frankies Bikinis, one of which was designed by her best friend, Kylie Jenner. Clearly, she is the unofficial queen of summer swim style.
The rest of her photo dump was a mix of everyday glamour, showing off Rhode under-eye masks, gym selfies, and even some cooking shots. It’s a peek into her normal routine that makes her feel a bit more relatable, right up until you remember the diamond earrings. Now we want to know: are you on board with the velvet bikini trend, or is it a hard pass for you? Let us know in the comments.
