Hailey Embraces “Nepo Baby” Shirt…

Before speaking about her look, let me tell you how Hailey Bieber is a “double nepo baby”. If you’re not aware, Justin Bieber’s wife is the daughter of successful actor and director, Stephen Baldwin and the niece of “The Hunt For Red October” star Alec Baldwin. Not to mention, she is married to multiple Grammy-winning artist, Justin Bieber.

Recently, Hailey decided to flaunt her tag of being a “nepo baby” amid weeks-long debate surrounding the New York Magazine’s cover story, which featured faces of many A-list celebs pasted on the bodies of their privileged children. Hailey donned a “nepo baby” shirt Friday (Jan.6) while running basic errands in LA.

Later, she was captured having a fancy lunch with her friend, Justine Skye at the restaurant Great White. She complimented this look with blue jeans, a black belt and a sleek purse. Coming to the question, of why she’d flaunt such a look? Well, we can call it a humour-filled response to the New York Magazine. Interestingly, instead of condemning her, fans are praising her for the iconic look.

In December 2022, the term came to light after  New York magazine released its latest cover, referring to 2022 “The Year of the Nepo Baby” with the headline: “She has her mother’s eyes. And an agent.” Apart from this, the cover included graphic images of different celebrity faces on the bodies of their babies.

This article was written by “Vulture” write Nate Jones, who noted that nepo-baby “label was something you were born with”, detailing why and how it has sparked outrage. “A nepo baby is physical proof that meritocracy is a lie. We love them, we hate them, we disrespect them, we’re obsessed with them,” he wrote with a mixed feelings.

Nate’s article ignited a weeks-long debate on the term and people had mixed reactions. One person, for instance, wrote: “The nepo baby article is actually ridiculous in the best way,” one wrote. “Some of y’all getting real defensive about that NY Mag cover on behalf of nepo babies, it’s funny, laugh,” another wrote.

A third mentioned: “Whoever wrote that nepo baby article kind of a genius though…To be able to cite that many types and examples of nepo babies ohhhh they were mad as hell.” However, many came forward to defend these nepo children and praised their successful careers, regardless of their family backgrounds.
