Hailey Bieber Wears Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's 1996 Rehearsal Dress

Hailey Bieber wore the archival Cerruti by Narciso Rodriguez champagne slip that Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy made famous at her 1996 wedding rehearsal dinner, Vogue and HELLO! reported after her London appearance.

Bieber stepped out Sept. 28 at Harry’s Bar in Mayfair for a party marking OBB’s arrival in London. The bias-cut, crystal-embellished spring/summer 1997 dress was sourced from My Runway Archive and confirmed as the same garment Bessette-Kennedy wore before marrying John F. Kennedy Jr. on Sept. 21, 1996, Vogue writes. HELLO! describes its plunging neckline, sleeveless cut and figure-hugging silhouette, styled by Dani Michelle with metallic heels and delicate jewelry.

Rodriguez and Bessette met in 1990 at Calvin Klein; her ivory wedding slip helped cement his early reputation. He also made the related rehearsal-dinner dress Bieber wore. The look resurfaced via Ryan Murphy’s Love Story, linking 1990s minimalism with today’s red-carpet nostalgia.

HELLO! notes Bieber’s espresso brunette shade against the champagne crystals and her documented ’90s lean. Celebrity archive dressing remains a privilege of access; Vogue and HELLO! supply provenance and event context.
