If you’re looking for an unconventional fashion statement, look no further than Justin Bieber’s latest look.
The pop star was spotted out and about with his wife, Hailey Bieber, in Los Angeles this weekend wearing a flannel bucket hat and patchwork psychedelic pants…oh, and a giant crochet blanket styled like a cape.
The grandma look had everyone talking – kinda like when A$AP Rocky hit the 2021 Met Gala wearing a colorful ERL quilt or when Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford shared a Gucci logo throw at the 2022 LACMA Art + Film Gala.
“When Justin Bieber wears this, it’s featured on GQ’s Instagram page. When I wear it, it’s a ‘cry for help’ and a sign that I’ve ‘given up,’” Baltimore magazine Editor-in-Chief Max Weiss tweeted of the unusual style choice.

One Twitter user commented, “Hollyweird.” While another said, “If he doesn’t want to be recognized he shouldn’t wear such splashy clothes.”
Another jokingly commented, “When you’ve finished your quilting and afghan projects for the winter, and you’re desperate to find a way to tell everyone.”
But it looks like Bieber isn’t the only one embracing the humble granny square. The trend has been making a comeback, thanks to famous knitters like Second Daughter Ella Emhoff and Olympic diver Tom Daley. Even Meghan Markle has given her stamp of approval to the Hermès Avalon Blanket ($1,625).
Bieber isn’t the only one embracing a unique style. His wife, Hailey, recently made headlines when she was spotted wearing a “Nepo Baby” T-shirt that poked fun at the viral discourse stemming from a recent New York magazine cover story.
However, there’s one fashion trend you won’t find the couple wearing: H&M’s latest line of allegedly unauthorized Bieber merch, which the Bieber called “trash.”
