Hailey Bieber and the new summer aesthetic: when lingerie becomes the main outfit

In 2026, fashion has finally stopped being shy about its own boldness. But Victoria’s Secret took it a step further: in the new It Girl Dressing 2026 campaign, the brand suggests not hiding lingerie, but building the entire look around it. And the face of this approach is Hailey Bieber.

Her appearance in the campaign is not just a marketing collaboration. It’s a clear statement: summer 2026 is about confidence, minimalism, and a new interpretation of the women’s wardrobe, where the bra is no longer a “base layer” but a full fashion element.

The bra as the main character of the outfit

In Victoria’s Secret’s new vision, lingerie is no longer hidden under shirts or dresses. It moves to the forefront — as a top, an accent, and a styling foundation.

Hailey Bieber perfectly embodies this approach: clean silhouettes, minimal shapes, and lightweight textures. The bra becomes the base of the outfit, with everything else built around it — from relaxed trousers to minimal accessories.

This is not about attention-seeking provocation. It’s a new normal: body, comfort, and style are no longer separated into “allowed” and “not allowed.”

It Girl 2026: a new kind of style icon

Victoria’s Secret has always mastered the “It Girl” concept, but this time the idea shifts. It’s no longer an unreachable fantasy, but an aesthetic much closer to real life.

Hailey Bieber represents the modern woman who blends simplicity with confidence. Her style is not complicated — it feels effortless, yet carefully refined.

And that is exactly what works better today than overly complex fashion: the feeling that you could look the same without trying too hard.

A summer without a “full look” requirement

The core idea of the campaign is simple: you no longer need to build a complete “look” in the traditional sense. One strong piece is enough, and everything else follows.

In It Girl Dressing 2026, that piece is the bra. It is no longer a hidden detail but becomes the center of the outfit — like a top, like a statement.

Victoria’s Secret is offering a new wardrobe mindset: fewer layers, more confidence, and more simplicity.
