Hailey Bieber Is a Vision In Toasted Brown Tones

The CFDA Fashion Awards are, first and foremost, about fashion. Duh. And Hailey Bieber certainly wasn’t going to let the occasion pass without wowing onlookers in a runway-ready outfit. The Rhode founder arrived at the November 2 ceremony in New York City wearing a gold brocade Saint Laurent ensemble by Anthony Vaccarello, serving maximalist glamour without going into campy territory. But as spectacular as the garb was, her beauty look couldn’t possibly be ignored.

Bieber’s espresso brown hair looked darker than ever, with glossy, center-parted lengths falling loosely around her face. And as if the color wasn’t gleaming and rich enough to convince anyone to bookmark it for a future colorist appointment, it was made all the more charming by how perfectly it coordinated with her outfit’s fur cuffs. Although we doubt it was an intentional pairing, it definitely played into the unwavering golden-brown theme.

While Bieber’s hair couldn’t be shinier, her makeup took on a more matte approach, though still in the toasty brown color family. Warm, muted blush added a subtle, not-too-rosy flush, keeping the look monochromatic. Her eyes were softly defined with blended brown tones that could easily work just as well as a daytime look. And that lip! A warm, muted cocoa hue with a contoured outline proved that a neutral lip can sometimes serve as a statement lip.

Of course, this isn’t Bieber’s first foray into the brown beauty. Lately, she’s been leaning into the shade with a chocolate-brown manicure and, before that, lighter, taupe nails. So, between the espresso hair, toasted makeup, and often-nutty nails, Bieber is clearly in her brown period—a perfect vibe for the rest of fall.
