In case TikTok (and the most stylish members of your friend group) haven’t told you already, Gap has teamed up with Hailey Bieber to create the Hailey Jean, a limited-edition denim capsule comprised of two relaxed, summer-perfect styles: Extra Baggy and ’90s Low-Rise Loose.
If anything about this episode of cultural crossover looks familiar, that’s important. Since last year, Bieber has been recreating Gap’s 90s-inspired coded low-rise jean silhouette with almost religious devotion, pairing the relaxed and undeniably sexy style with everything from off-white tube tops and cropped tanks to Dior sweatshirts and leather jackets.

These placements (likely orchestrated by Gap creative director Zac Posen) sent fans and fashionistas alike into a frenzy, trying to find the exact model she flaunted – seemingly for 24 hours. Starting July 16th, not just one. two Bieber’s favorite vintage Gap jeans are elevated with unusual, never-before-seen details such as a custom wash, “1996” references her year of birth on the hardware and back patch, and the A-lister’s own signature can be seen on the pocket lining.
Both selections retail for $89.95, which puts them squarely in the affordable-to-luxury category (affordable, since most denim these days is priced in the triple digits; the luxury comes from the jeans’ plush, stiff 100% cotton fabric and thoughtful craftsmanship).

and both are trying to create your ensemble that It’ll be more on-trend, but as long as you act quickly and add your desired wash to your cart (there are six total options across two styles) before it’s gone in just a few hours, that’s a very real possibility given the hype Hailey Bieber x Gap received a few days ago.
“Gap has been a part of my wardrobe since I was a child, so it came together very naturally,” the collection’s muse, 29, said in a press release. “1996 is the year I was born, and I take a lot of style inspiration from the ’90s. There was a very effortless vibe to that era and the way people wore denim. We wanted to capture that same feeling in our campaign and collection, with a modern, nostalgic and personal feel.”
The campaign images provide further insight into Posen and Bieber’s mutual intentions for this launch. It’s about allowing shoppers to teleport to a simpler time while remembering its unique fashion ethos.

In some shots, Bieber is wearing minimal makeup, no shirt, and only his co-created Gap jeans. In other photos, she looks straight at the camera with her hair slightly tousled. Elsewhere, Bieber shows off flip-flops under denim. The final result is a “nod”[s] “Gap’s iconic ’90s fashion image is expressed through clean studio visuals and subtle styling references,” the brand said.

Additionally, clips show her lounging in an inflatable chair, filing her nails, making calls from a landline, and taking selfies with a point-and-shoot mirror. Meanwhile, a background voiceover claims that the ’90s were defined by personal style and “the perfect pair of jeans.”
You don’t have to be born in that decade or have lived through that decade to own them. Gap makes it easy and lets you steal the Bieber look with just one purchase.
