So committed is Hailey Bieber to maintaining the tenets of the glazed donut aesthetic that her style rarely ventures beyond patent Saint Laurent stilettos.
But—as of last week—she now seems to be dipping her manicured toe into fashion’s more unusual end: adopting stirrup leggings and Toteme kitten heels, and cartoonish Bottega Veneta shoes that look as though they belong in Recess.
