Hailey Bieber Wears 1997 Cerruti by Narciso Rodriguez Dress Once Worn by Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy
At a party at Harry's Bar in Mayfair, London, Hailey Bieber wore a champagne-colored, bias-cut, crystal-embellished slip dress from Cerruti by Narciso Rodriguez's spring 1997 collection. The dress, sourced from My Runway Archive, was confirmed to be the same one Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy wore to her 1996 wedding rehearsal dinner. The event celebrated the arrival of Michael Ratner's entertainment company OBB in London. Rodriguez and Bessette met in 1990 while working at Calvin Klein; Bessette's decision to have Rodriguez design her wedding dress helped launch his career. Rodriguez also created the rehearsal dinner dress in the same silhouette. The look was recently featured in Ryan Murphy's show Love Story. Bieber's affinity for 1990s minimalism has been well documented, including straight-leg jeans and LBDs, and this occasion marks another instance of her drawing from Bessette-Kennedy's style.
