Hailey Bieber recently took to Instagram to pay tribute to the late designer Virgil Abloh on what would have been his 44th birthday. She shared throwback photos from her 2019 wedding to Justin Bieber, where Abloh designed her stunning wedding dress.
The white semi-sheer floral lace gown featured long off-the-shoulder sleeves, a plunging open back, and a long skirt that trailed behind her. The highlight of the dress was the super-long veil that read: “Till death do us part.” Hailey walked down the aisle in this beautiful creation, with Abloh by her side in a black hoodie and Off-White sneakers.
The couple officially got married in a private ceremony in New York City in 2018, but they held a lavish wedding a year later with their friends and family in attendance. Hailey’s heartfelt tribute to Abloh on Instagram expressed how much he meant to her and how he made her feel like a princess on her special day.
Virgil Abloh, the artistic director of Louis Vuitton menswear and the founder of Off-White, passed away in November 2021 after battling cancer in secret. His death was a shock to the fashion world, and his legacy lives on in his incredible designs and the people who knew and loved him.
Hailey’s tribute to Abloh not only honored his memory but also highlighted the special bond they shared through the creation of her wedding dress. The photos she shared brought back memories of that magical day and showcased the talent and creativity of the late designer.
As the fashion industry continues to mourn the loss of Virgil Abloh, Hailey’s gesture serves as a reminder of the impact he had on those around him. His influence will be felt for years to come, and his innovative designs will continue to inspire future generations of designers and fashion enthusiasts alike.
