At just 16 years old, Hailey Bieber started her career in the modeling world. Bieber signed with the renowned Ford Models agency in 2014, where her career began to take off. The following years, she was photographed for the likes of Vogue, Wonderland, and L'Officiel, as well as being the face of giant brands, like Ralph Lauren. She also took her talents to the runway, strutting her stuff for brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Zadig & Voltaire.
"My favorite part [of modeling] is being able to see something come to life. When you're doing a shoot, you're always trying to tell a story. Seeing that story come to life, and being able to show clothes in a different way and tell that story, has been really fun," Bieber told V Magazine. While she found her passion in modeling, the Rhode founder admitted she swapped pointe shoes for stilettos after a career-ending injury prevented her from pursuing ballet. As a teenager, Bieber trained at the renowned American Ballet Theatre for years before she tried her hand at being in front of the camera.
The model still feels nostalgia for her days as a dancer, even mentioning it in one of her TikTok videos advertising a hair product in her Rhode Beauty line. In the clip, she wore a dance outfit and slicked her hair back in a hair-sprayed bun, writing in the caption: "taking me back to my ballet days."
