Hailey Bieber's Controversial Shorts Outfit Had Basically Disappeared

If anyone knows how to make a trend or outfit trend a thing again, it's Hailey Bieber. She's one of those fashion celebrities (as I like to call them) who have the superpower to wear something and instantly make it cool.
To backtrack a bit, you may recall that last summer, long Bermuda shorts and sweatshorts were the only shorts trends that mattered, and short denim cutoffs were put on the backburner. And it's safe to say that no one had any desire to wear shorts with heels last summer when the world was basically shut down. But it's a new year with new outfit trends, and Bieber just wore a pair of short denim cutoffs with heels, signaling the return of this controversial pairing.
Whether you'd wear short cutoffs with high heels or not, there's no denying that Bieber looks extremely chic in the combination and that copying her is tempting. Keep scrolling to do just that.
