’Tis the season for holiday parties! Over the next few weeks, festive celebrations are likely filling up your calendar—and whether you’re planning on ringing in Christmas or Hanukkah, you’ll need that perfect outfit to embrace the season. Luckily, there are a few key staples to help guide you: You can never go wrong with sequins, laces, and velvets at this time of the year. Clearly, Hailey Bieber knows the power of these thematic fabrics. The model stepped out in Beverly Hills this weekend embracing the latter pushy material, her velvet skirt suit the ultimate inspiration for your next holiday bash.
Let’s break down why her vampy ensemble is so on-point. Bieber emerged wearing a vintage Yves Saint Laurent velvet skirt suit from fall 2002, sourced from The Reallist, but it might as well be from the current collection; the tailored silhouette feels just as modern today. The model and Rhode founder styled the suit with semi-sheer tights and slingbacks—leaning into a more polished, sleek feel. (Very office siren.) The whole vibe is giving Mrs. Claus (if she had an immaculate wardrobe filled with designer pieces). And shouldn’t that be the ideal holiday aesthetic this year? You want to be kitschy, but in a chic way. Plus, with the right velvet skirt suit investment, you can definitely wear it post-December, too. Win-win!
