Hailey Bieber brought a bold, gothic-inspired look to the red carpet on February 11 as she attended the premiere of Wuthering Heights in Sydney, Australia. The model and beauty entrepreneur turned heads in a dramatic lace gown that blended elegance with a modern edge.
A Striking Lace Statement
Hailey chose a sheer black dress made from detailed lace embroidery. The design featured fluted sleeves and a structured skirt that flowed into a subtle mini train. The gown highlighted delicate craftsmanship while embracing a daring silhouette.
She paired the lace dress with a matching tulle bra that included a deep neckline, adding to the dramatic feel of the outfit. Open-toe stilettos completed the look, keeping the focus on the statement gown.
The 29-year-old kept accessories simple. She skipped necklaces and bracelets, choosing only to wear her diamond wedding ring. Her hair fell in soft, loose waves in a warm toasted-almond shade. For makeup, she opted for a natural finish with rosy cheeks and a nude lip, allowing the dress to remain the centre of attention.
A Nod to a Popular Fashion Trend
Hailey’s appearance comes during a time when sheer and lace gowns continue to dominate red carpets around the world. Designers have embraced light fabrics, delicate mesh, lace, and sculpted shapes that highlight the body’s natural lines.

Her look reflected this trend while adding a subtle gothic touch, drawing attention without overwhelming the overall style. Fashion observers have noted that the “naked dress” trend has gained popularity over the past year, with several celebrities choosing similar sheer designs for major events.
Expanding Rhode in Australia
Hailey’s visit to Sydney also marked an important business milestone. She travelled to Australia to celebrate the launch of her skincare brand, Rhode, in the Australian and New Zealand markets.
Earlier in January, she shared the news on social media with a black-and-white promotional photo. In her announcement, she wrote, “Hi Australia + New Zealand. The world of Rhode is on the way. We're so happy to announce that our lineup of curated everyday essentials is coming to Australia and New Zealand very soon. Starting February 12th at 6am AEDT, our complete collection on rhodeskin.com will ship to both countries. We're also incredibly excited to partner exclusively with @meccabeauty in Australia and New Zealand. On February 12th, you’ll be able to shop Rhode online and at MECCA’s Bourke Street and George Street flagship locations, followed by most stores on February 13th.”
She added, “It's been such a treat to grow our community around the globe and bring Rhode into the daily routines of so many people. thank you for all your continued love and support—we have so much more to look forward to together.”
Stylish Moments Down Under
During her time in Australia, Hailey also stepped out in a cropped, belted trench coat paired with heels, offering a polished daytime look that contrasted with her dramatic evening gown.
Her appearance at the premiere combined fashion and business seamlessly. With a growing global brand and a strong presence on the fashion scene, Hailey continues to balance glamour with entrepreneurship.
Her lace gown may have captured headlines, but her expanding beauty empire ensures that her visit to Australia carries both style and substance.
