Do you know Esphyr Slobodkinaâs Caps for Sale, the lovely childrenâs book about a hat salesman who wears his wares atop his head and sleeps under a tree rife with larcenous monkeys? Then perhaps you could imagine a modern redux starring Justin Bieber, whose version would feature the pop star with a tall stack of his go-to headgearâa fuzzy red Kangol hat, a Los Angeles Angels fitted, a silky head scarf, an oversized beanie, and a Balenciaga ball cap, for exampleâbalanced atop his head. And maybe he would be, like, napping beneath a coconut tree at Palm Heights or something.
Now, Bieberâs got a new cap to add to his stockpile: a camouflage-printed bucket hat (sometimes known as a âboonieâ) that he wore to a pre-season friendly match between Arsenal and Manchester United at Los Angelesâs SoFi Stadium over the weekend. He paired the tactical cap with a white ribbed tank and printed gray sweatpants, and accessorized with a glittering duo of mushroom-shaped necklaces designed by the celebrity jeweler Alex Moss, which were a gift from his wife Hailey Bieber for the coupleâs fifth wedding anniversary last year.
(Thankfully, Hailey also approved of her husbandâs Arsenal-Man U look with a heart-eyes emoji on her Instagram story.)
On Sunday, the Biebersâwho are currently awaiting the birth of their first childâshared a sweet video from their recent baby shower. For the occasion, Hailey wore a sheer yellow gown from Jacquemus and her go-to diamond-encrusted âBâ pendant necklace, also designed by Moss. Justin, meanwhile, was in baggy jeans, fuzzy slippers, andâyou guessed itâanother hat. This time, it was a Brat-green beanie, which, for a baby shower, feels like a pointedly gender-neutral choice.
