Hailey Bieber Channels Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy at Paris Fashion Week
During the Spring/Summer 2027 shows in Paris, Hailey Bieber made a fashion statement by wearing a stunning white midi dress that once belonged to Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. This iconic piece, which Bessette-Kennedy wore during her rehearsal dinner with John F. Kennedy Jr., showcases a timeless elegance with its sleeveless design and low V neckline.
Styled by Dani Michelle and sourced from London’s My Runway Archive, the dress highlights Bessette-Kennedy’s minimalist aesthetic, reminiscent of classic 90s fashion. While Bessette-Kennedy’s silk slip wedding dress often garners most attention, this backless creation captured the spotlight at the event.
The dress was originally designed by Narciso Rodriguez for his Spring/Summer 1997 collection for Cerruti. Rodriguez, a long-time collaborator of Bessette-Kennedy, created several memorable looks for her, including the renowned wedding dress that launched his solo career.
Decades later, Bieber revived this piece, complementing it with her wavy brown hair and matching nail polish, paired with minimal accessories, echoing Bessette-Kennedy’s understated glamour. This nod to fashion history highlights the enduring influence of iconic style figures in contemporary fashion.
