Hailey Bieber has stirred controversy with a sheer lace gown, drawing mixed reactions from the media and netizens alike. While many outlets praised her daring fashion choice, online users offered more critical takes on the style of Justin Bieber’s wife.

On February 12, Hailey Bieber attended the premiere of Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie, in Sydney, Australia.

The American model walked the red carpet wearing a black chantilly lace gown by Saint Laurent. The dress was entirely sheer, crafted from delicate black lace, featuring a plunging, form-fitting neckline that revealed a matching halter-style bra underneath.

Hailey layered the look with black lingerie, partially covered by a voluminous, floor-length skirt. The sleeves were fitted at the wrists and finished with extended ruffled cuffs, adding a touch of classic elegance.

While the outfit itself made a bold statement, Hailey kept her accessories minimal. She wore only an oval-cut diamond ring on her left hand and paired the look with black strappy sandals—also from Saint Laurent—priced at $1,100.

According to Page Six, the ensemble perfectly captured the spirit of the Victorian era in England, the primary setting of Wuthering Heights.

Meanwhile, InStyle described the dress as gothic in style, with its black tone creating an eerie yet seductive allure. The pleated sleeves were noted as a hallmark of Victorian fashion, lending a vintage feel, while Hailey maintained a modern edge by forgoing traditional petticoats and embracing the trend of wearing lingerie as outerwear.

“She skipped elaborate jewelry, wearing only her wedding ring and finishing the look with black high-heeled sandals, creating an elegant overall appearance,” fashion writer Daisy Maldonado commented.

People also highlighted how the bold outfit differed from Hailey’s usual polished and understated style, making her the center of attention and drawing admiration from onlookers. The magazine praised her decision to keep accessories, hair, and makeup minimal, allowing “the sensual outfit to speak for itself.”

However, despite widespread media praise, many netizens were less impressed. Online reactions largely criticized the dress as unflattering, overly revealing, and not well-suited to Hailey Bieber’s image.
