Some red carpet moments spark conversation; others ignite a full fashion flashback. Hailey Bieber did the latter at the 2025 GQ Men of the Year Awards, arriving in a look that paid tribute to Tom Ford’s most provocative Gucci era while simultaneously reasserting her position as one of contemporary fashion’s most daring tastemakers. For an evening dedicated to the event’s 30-year legacy, the Rhode founder channelled a decade that defined red carpet sensuality – 90s Hollywood – and delivered its most definitive modern iteration.
A Rare Gucci Relic Meets Modern Glamour
Hailey Bieber stepped onto the Los Angeles red carpet in a sheer, glitter-patterned vintage Gucci gown, paired with a rare jewelled Gucci by Tom Ford thong – a piece almost mythologised in fashion circles. The gown’s halter neckline, open back and thigh slit created a sculptural silhouette, while the mesh revealed the sparkling thong beneath, a styling move once embraced by icons like Kim Kardashian and Solange.
Rather than accessorising heavily, Hailey kept the balance intentional with diamond earrings, a sleek tennis bracelet, and her signature oval-cut wedding ring. Her hair was pulled into a simple, undone updo, ensuring the gown remained the star.
A Host and A Headliner
The night held special significance for Hailey – not only was she one of the celebrities on GQ’s latest cover, but she also served as a co-host for the 30th anniversary celebration. Sharing the stage with names like Stephen Colbert, Seth Rogen, SZA, Oscar Isaac, Clipse, and Sydney Sweeney, her joy and comfort in the spotlight were unmistakable, even with a look this audacious.
This year’s theme, “90s Hollywood Red Carpet,” encouraged attendees to revisit the glitz and subversive glamour of the decade. Stars arrived in slinky slip dresses, liquid-satin gowns, and sheer silhouettes, but Hailey’s look felt the most archival and the most intentional.
Hailey’s affinity for 90s fashion has been unfolding steadily. In earlier interviews, she admitted that fashion boldness didn’t come naturally; it took years of modelling to feel grounded. Now, she walks red carpets with a sense of ownership and the willingness to challenge expectations. Her 2025 GQ look didn’t just revisit the ’90s. It redefined them.
