2026 has been all about the minimalist shoe for Hailey Bieber. The model has been spotted wearing so many trends of the year, from capri pants with thong-heeled sandals to midi skirts and mules, Bieber has stuck to a handful of styles and brands, especially when it comes to her footwear.
Bieber attended the 2026 WWD Style Awards presented by Women’s Wear Daily at Regent Santa Monica Beach on Jan. 9 in Santa Monica, Calif. She wore an Armani Privé Spring 2009 couture dress in a metallic silver featuring intricate crystal fringing. She paired the midi dress with black leather mules, one of the trendiest shoe styles of the year — and one of her most worn shoe styles as well.
