Hailey Bieber’s ‘Not Buying’ Maternity Fashion
According to a New York stylist, the Rhode founder sticks to having her own identity with her fashion choices — but that’s not all we can glean from her style statements.
Stylist Amanda Sanders said Hailey’s outfit showed she was “holding on” to her youth.
Her husband followed behind, dressed in oversized, matching clothes.
“Hailey will not be purchasing appropriate maternity clothes as her pregnancy progresses,” Sanders told The US Sun.
“She’s trying to figure out what she already has in her closet that works on her shapeshifting.
“Her current choices show that Hailey is trying to maintain her identity and still look young before birth.
“She’s still wearing her old wardrobe, which also means she’s holding on to some of it.
“She’s probably also nervous about certain parts of becoming a mother and is clinging to the Hailey she was.
“This is also part of Hailey’s nest.
“Her pregnancy style will continue like this until she gives birth.”
