While Hailey kept it effortlessly chic, Justin embraced a more laid-back streetwear aesthetic. He wore an oversized black leather jacket over baggy black pants, a style he’s been favoring in recent public appearances. His pants were so loose and long that he was seen grabbing them at the thigh while walking, seemingly to avoid tripping over the hems.
Though both sported dark, monochrome outfits, Justin added a pop of color with his vibrant, oversized sneakers, a signature statement in his casual wardrobe.

Hailey Bieber Seemingly Slams Rumors
Hailey has faced her fair share of relationship speculation. While she used to brush it off, she revealed to W Magazine in July that she has since learned to acknowledge and process her emotions rather than ignore them.
“People have made me feel so bad about my relationship since day one. Oh, they’re falling apart. They hate each other. They’re getting divorced.’ It’s like people don’t want to believe that we’re happy,” she revealed. “I used to try to act like it hurts less and less. I’ve tried to think that you get used to it at a certain point, that this is what’s going to be said and this is how people are going to be, but I realize that it doesn’t actually ever hurt any less.”
While they continue to present a publicly united front, fans are watching closely, questioning whether all is as it seems behind the scenes.
