Hailey Bieber divided fans when she stepped out in a casual outfit that gave many people major Y2K vibes, which some loved, while others disapproved and branded it “ugly.” Check out some pics here.
The 29-year-old Victoria’s Secret model, who celebrated her and Justin Bieber‘s son Jack Blues Bieber‘s second birthday just a few days ago, stepped out in a pair of black trousers and a bright yellow cami top with a delicate lace trim. The top wouldn’t have looked out of place in most female closets throughout the early-to-mid-2000s – and it would have probably been layered over or underneath several other tops, as was the style at the time
Although it was a 2000s favorite, the lace-trimmed cami actually started making waves a little earlier, with Chloé showing lace-trimmed camisoles in its Spring 1998 collection. The lingerie-inspired style then, of course, went on to become a major noughties staple, becoming an inescapable part of early-to-mid-2000s wardrobes. (Yes, we owned one in every color!) And while some fans were thrilled to see the Y2K piece making a comeback, others weren’t quite as enthusiastic…

Hailey Bieber Divides Fans With Her Y2K-Inspired Outfit
The mom-of-one's yellow cami has reportedly been identified as a vintage Dolce & Gabbana piece, although we're not sure whether it was buried at the back of her closet or is something she purchased more recently. Given how much she and her famous friends Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner love wearing vintage designer finds, we're going to guess the latter!
The billionaire Rhode mogul let the eye-catching yellow top take center stage by pairing it with classic black pieces, including black trousers, black heeled Manolo Blahnik sandals, a black The Row bag, and black sunglasses, as well as a black zig zag headband. She wore her brunette locks in a relaxed half up, half down do to complete the effortlessly casual look.
Fans may also have experienced a slight case of déjà vu, as she wore another very Y2K-inspired look recently. Fans may remember that she recently wore a yellow and pink lace slip dress that some social media users compared to a nightie – another nostalgic noughties trend that proved equally divisive. With these two looks alone, it seems like Hailey is really embracing the early-2000s aesthetic; whether everyone is ready for its return is another story though…

Fan Comments
Fan reactions were unsurprisingly divided, with many immediately recognizing the early-2000s aesthetic, either because they had lived through it the first time (hi) or were clued up on noughties fashion. Some were understandably excited about the nostalgic throwback, while others compared the cami to sleepwear and questioned why the simple outfit required a stylist. Ouch!
"2004 is fully back," wrote one fan, as a second agreed: "I literally had this top in 2004." "What in the 2008 is this," questioned a third, while a fourth wrote: "She's trying so hard to bring the 2000 look back." A fifth recalled: "Bought that top at Express in 2006."
"This look will be trending on TikTok in about two hours," predicted a sixth fan, while a seventh joked: "Anyone can dress like Hailey Bieber now." "In sleepwear," replied an eighth, as a ninth echoed: "Oh another sleepwear! Fashion is not fashioning."
"I usually adore her style but this top doesn't do her any favors," criticized a tenth unimpressed fan, as an eleventh slammed: "Don't see the hype with this girl! No hate but that's an ugly top." "This requiring a stylist is insane. Why do we celebrate white mediocrity like this?" asked a twelfth, referencing recent claims that she works with celebrity stylist Dani Michelle for her casual, everyday outfits and famously-photographed coffee runs.
However, plenty of fans loved the look – and Hailey herself! "In 2026 I didn't think I would start to fall in love with Hailey Bieber," gushed a thirteenth fan. "She's so beautiful," praised a fourteenth, while a fifteenth said she looked "lovely in that shade of yellow" alongside two yellow heart emojis. "She looks stunning," raved a sixteenth, as a seventeenth called her "so effortlessly cool."
