American socialite Hailey Bieber takes the cover story of the latest edition of D.Repubblica lensed by fashion photographer Oliver Hadlee Pearch. In charge of styling was Carlos Nazario, with casting direction from Piergiorgio Del Moro and Samuel Ellis Scheinman, and set design by Julia Wagner. Beauty is work of hair stylist Benjamin Muller, makeup artist Yadim, and manicururist Dawn Sterling.
The model, influencer, and beauty entrepreneur, leads a life in the spotlight. As Justin Bieber’s wife, her online presence sparks intense reactions – she’s either loved or loathed. Hailey’s Instagram, with its 50.1 million followers, is a battleground of adoration and criticism. She’s accustomed to praise, advice, and insults. Marriage to Justin Bieber has its challenges. She’s accused of luring him away from a legion of admirers, akin to a modern-day Yoko Ono. Unlike Yoko, Hailey faces public scrutiny in the age of social media.
Born in 1996 in Tucson, with a family steeped in showbiz, Hailey’s experience has prepared her for both the limelight and the barrage of public opinion. She’s unshaken, offering her perspective that being young doesn’t mean lacking in experiences. From her early days in family documentaries to a successful modeling career, that led her to renowned brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Guess, Versace, and Saint Laurent. Her carefully curated Instagram showcases a mix of personal and business ventures.
Her foray into entrepreneurship was inevitably inspired by the realm of social media, where beauty routines and skincare have become an industry generating a staggering global revenue of 600 billion euros. Her beauty line Rhode Skin launched in Europe recently, catering to the Gen Z demographic.
