A baseball cap from a car brand, a cropped leather jacket with fringe, and jeans that look like they have been yours for ten years. That is the whole recipe for Hailey Bieber’s latest Paris night out, and it is a lot easier to copy than most fashion week outfits.
Her stylist, Dani Michelle, shared the look on Instagram this week, and the fashion press picked it up fast. Here is what she wore, why the mix works, and how to build the same formula without a runway budget.

What Hailey wore in Paris
Marie Claire and Who What Wear both name the jacket as Magda Butrym from the Spring 2027 collection. It is black leather, cropped and fitted, with fringe trim around the collar, the front and the cuffs. You can read the details in Marie Claire’s breakdown and in Who What Wear’s take.
- Jacket: Magda Butrym Spring 2027, cropped black leather with fringe trim.
- Jeans: classic blue denim. Marie Claire points to Levi’s Ribcage jeans, while Who What Wear calls them a straight-leg, mid to high rise pair. Both agree it is simple, vintage-feeling denim.
- Cap: a black Mercedes-Benz baseball cap.
- Finishing touches: sunglasses and heels. The outlets describe the exact shoe differently, so I’m keeping that part general.
Why this outfit works
The trick is contrast. The jacket is the fancy, runway piece, and everything else is deliberately ordinary: jeans, a cap, sunglasses.
That mix makes the jacket look cool instead of precious. If everything had been dressed up to match, the fringe would have felt like a costume.
The cropped cut helps too. It sits right at the waist, so the jeans do the work of lengthening your legs, and you don’t need a belt or a tucked-in top to make the proportions look right.
And the cap? It is the unexpected bit. A cap with a leather jacket reads as off duty, which is exactly the mood you want after a long day of shows and dinners.
How to wear a leather jacket and jeans your way
You don’t need fringe or a fashion week invite. Start with the shape: a leather jacket that stops at your waist or just below it, in black or deep brown.
- Keep the base simple. A plain white or grey tee, or a thin black knit, lets the jacket lead.
- Pick straight-leg jeans. Mid to high rise, a clean ankle hem, no heavy distressing. Medium blue looks softer than black.
- Add one off-duty piece. A baseball cap, a slouchy tote or flat loafers all do the same job as Hailey’s cap.
- Finish with a heel or a sleek boot when you want the dressed-up version for dinner.

Three easy ways to style it
The Paris original. Cropped leather jacket, mid blue jeans, a plain cap and sunglasses. Add a small black bag and you are done.
The office version. Swap the cap for a crisp white shirt under the jacket, keep the jeans dark and straight, and wear pointed flats or loafers. It reads polished without trying hard.
The cold day version. Layer a thin turtleneck under the jacket and wear boots over the jeans. Leather blocks wind surprisingly well, so it is warmer than it looks.
Budget swap and splurge
Magda Butrym pieces sit firmly in designer territory, so most of us will be copying the idea rather than the label.
- Budget: a faux leather cropped jacket from a high street or mall store. Look for matte finish and structured shoulders, because shiny, floppy faux leather is what gives it away.
- Mid range: a real leather or lambskin jacket from a contemporary brand, often on sale in the shoulder seasons.
- Splurge: one well-cut leather jacket you will wear for ten years. Cost per wear drops fast when it goes over everything.
- Fringe on a budget: if you love the detail, try a jacket with small suede fringe at the cuffs only. It is easier to wear than fringe everywhere.
For the denim, don’t overthink it. A pair of classic straight-leg jeans you already own is closer to the spirit of this look than a brand new pair bought for the occasion. The monochrome ideas in our monochrome outfit guide also pair nicely if you’d rather go all black underneath.
Who this look suits
Almost everyone, which is the beauty of it. The cropped jacket is kind to petite frames, and a longer, straight jean balances taller ones.
If you prefer more coverage through the hips, choose a jacket that ends just below the waistband and a slightly looser jean. If you prefer a sharper silhouette, go for a fitted, structured shoulder.
It is also a rare outfit that works for dinner, a night out, a casual office and a weekend market, just by changing the shoes.
