Saint Laurent's hard-shouldered suit dictate for spring 2025 was always going to divide Anthony Vaccarello's clique. For example, would Kate Moss really transport herself back to the '80s in one of these body-hugging office sets? Zoë Kravitz is certainly not ready to give up the sheer looks that have become the be-all and end-all of her wardrobe.

Good news, then, for Hailey Bieber, who was looking for an outfit that screamed “boss bitch” without even guessing for a Rhode launch — the first Rhode launch, to be exact, after the birth of her first child . Vaccarello's swaggering silhouettes are just the ticket.

The appeal of this YSL tailoring, which has just hit the runway, is that it highlights the businesswoman as more than just a risk-taker (it takes courage to take off the shoulder pads, not to mention trying her best to wear the glasses with thick ones). to model the edge she wears). by Bella Hadid on the catwalk). Directly inspired by Yves Saint Laurent's uniform, the oversized gray separates show that Bieber not only read the brand's cliff notes, but also did her homework. Her slicked-back hair with a honeycomb strand framing her glassy cheekbones highlighted the fact that she has also embraced the entire narrative. Yes, Hailey is on maternity leave (is that a Hollywood thing?), but she's no fair-weather Saint Laurent muse.

Vaccarello couldn't have asked for better support for his starched shirts and ties. Bieber was accessorized to the hilt and looked every bit the souped-up brand founder who was about to lose a significant amount of money at Sushi Park. It's a boardroom-esque atmosphere that we best associate with Rihanna, who freely mixes menswear with vintage, sportswear and trophy jewelry while keeping us guessing about her next move. But of course, if Rih were to try her hand at Saint Laurent's XL suits, the archive enthusiast would go straight to the source. The ultimate power play is to be a true original.

And for those Vaccarello It girls worried about the impact on their personal brand if they don't indulge in tailoring, there's plenty of maximalist eveningwear on offer for spring 2025, too. Who will wear this canary lace and jewel toned ones? Is brocade reigning supreme in the fashion game?
