Hailey Bieber Can’t Stop Carrying This New Elegant Handbag

Hailey Bieber has clout. Her friends have it too, but Bieber’s influence is stronger—and more all-consuming. She gets chrome nails, and suddenly chrome powder’s worth the extra $10 at the nail salon. She wears a hyper-specific pair of leggings to pilates or a white baby tee in a closet selfie, and just like that, both are ID’d immediately and sold out seconds later. No beauty product, piece of clothing, or honestly even food item is safe from the Bieber effect. And I just found its latest target.

Over the last few weeks, the Rhode founder and model has been spotted carrying one specific handbag on a handful of occasions: Balenciaga’s Rodeo. Unlike in the past, her affinity for the Rodeo hasn’t caused a buying spree right away, which is why the timeless flap bag with aged-gold hardware is still available in various colors and sizes. It won’t be for long, though. Not once the masses catch on.

If history has anything to say about it, the Rodeo will soon be fought over in every department store. It’ll show up all over Instagram and TikTok and become a staple on the street-style scene. The first signs of my predictions are actually already starting. Bieber’s best friend Justine Skye was seen carrying a pine-green version of the bag with silver hardware late last month. Lindsey Lohan opted for the mini version in a tan-and-gold colorway. Meanwhile, supermodel Vittoria Ceretti went Bieber’s route and chose classic black.

One of our favorite The Row influencers Neelam Ahooja also recently posted the Rodeo on her Instagram. Stylish women immediately began commenting on her bag choice. “That Rodeo,” wrote Stephanie Broek. “Ouf, I love how big it is and how nonchalant it feels. So good.” Beatrice Gutu simply commented, “This bag,” with a black heart emoji.

Balenciaga introduced the Rodeo bag in May 2024, naming the classic handbag silhouette after Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Each color and size (apart from the croc option) is crafted out of matte calf leather that’s expected to get better with age. All sizes feature vast storage options inside and changeable straps so you can use it as a shoulder, top handle, or crossbody bag. The interior is made of nappa lambskin leather, with one main compartment, one inner zipped pocket, and two flat pockets in the back. You’ll never lose your keys or Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment again.
