Holiday dressing doesn’t always need to shout. Sometimes, the most compelling statements are made in a whisper and Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner proved exactly that over the weekend in Los Angeles.
For an intimate gathering, the longtime friends sidestepped the usual festive tropes of sequins, sparkle, and theatrical silhouettes, choosing instead to stay loyal to their personal style codes: minimal, dark, and quietly confident.
Bieber arrived with cookies in hand, dressed like a woman who means business even at a holiday party. She wore a navy skirt suit that fell just below the knee, paired with a matching blazer featuring a subtle peplum and a plunging neckline. Skipping an undershirt entirely, the beauty founder leaned into her signature brand of polished sensuality. Accessories were kept deliberately sparse, with exposed-front kitten heels completing the look.
Jenner, meanwhile, leaned into a refined blend of model off-duty and equestrian elegance. Her outfit centered on a navy Valentino wool coat trimmed with rich brown faux fur along the edges. Stirrup-style leggings nodded to her love of classic riding silhouettes, while a mulberry shoulder bag and black high heels added a festive but restrained finish. Worn without a top, the coat carried just enough edge to feel intentional rather than understated.
While Jenner’s shaggy coat and deep burgundy accessories hinted at the season, the look stood in contrast to the more extravagant holiday moments she’s delivered in years past — including the tinsel-like Bottega Veneta dress she recently wore on the red carpet.
The same could be said for Bieber, whose party wardrobe typically includes sequined minis and bold, pants-less statements. This outing marked a clear pivot: proof that holiday dressing can still feel celebratory without leaning on excess.
Whether this minimalist mood will last through the rest of the season remains to be seen. But for now, Bieber and Jenner are reminding us that sometimes, the chicest way to dress for the holidays is to simply be yourself.
