Hailey Bieber is a fashionista who is absolutely always ahead of the curve when it comes to trends.
When the 26-year-old does something, the rest of the world swiftly follows suit: from the glazed beauty craze to making gilets cool again to her wacky manicures this summer, we're always turning to the Rhode founder for cool-girl inspo.
