The pantless trend is alive and well according to Hailey Bieber.
Just when we thought the trend was on its last legs, the Rhode founder ushered it into 2025 during a dinner at Funke in Beverly Hills. Fresh off an Aspen trip filled with faux fur coats galore, Bieber is already dressing for work—albeit, the way only she can.
While Amelia Gray wore the Proenza Schouler suit jacket on the fall 2024 runway with a black knit maxi skirt, Bieber opted to wear it as a dress, trading the slouchy fit for a nipped-in waist. Underneath, she wore a nude minidress from Ferragamo. (Bieber, a noted fan of Maximilian Davis, wore a Ferragamo resort 2025 coat in Aspen earlier this week, as well as during her pregnancy.) She finished off her look with a large Bottega Veneta clutch, black pointy-toe pumps, low-denier black tights, and her beloved black Matrix-esque sunglasses.
Bieber has offered multiple takes on the pantless trend in the past. In September 2023, she paired a nude turtleneck with black Petar Petrov briefs and a Saint Laurent belt. Her most recent look mirrors that one with its neutral color palette, sheer tights and black pumps, and Matrix-inspired touches. But she’s taken the look in other directions too, like in November of that year when she wore an oversized black sweater—sans trousers—to church. (Luckily, the Biebers’ trendy millennial congregation, Churchome, doesn’t seem to have a pants policy.)
Now, well over a year after she first tried out the pantless look, Hailey Bieber is intent on bringing the fizzling trend into 2025. Will others follow suit?
