Justin Bieber is making headlines again—but this time, it’s not for his chart-topping hits or his on-again, off-again relationship with Selena Gomez. Nope, it’s for something far more pressing: his fashion choices. On Wednesday, the 30-year-old singer was spotted at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills, and let’s just say, he looked nearly unrecognizable. And no, this isn’t a dramatic weight loss or a new tattoo we’re talking about. Justin decided to turn the sidewalk into his runway, flashing his boxer shorts for all the world (or at least the guests of the Waldorf) to see.
As he walked into the luxury hotel, known for its celebrity sightings, Justin was sans his pregnant wife, Hailey, who is due to give birth any day now. Instead of the dapper daddy-to-be look one might expect from a global superstar, Justin opted for something a bit more… eclectic. Sporting a white tank top, baggy shorts hanging dangerously low, and a floral belt that screamed “spring break circa 2005,” he completed his ensemble with a fedora and black sunglasses. And yes, those boxers were on full display, because why wouldn’t they be?
As always, the internet had plenty to say. Fans flocked to the comments section faster than you can say “Yummy” to voice their opinions on Justin’s latest fashion faux pas.
“Imagine being 30 years old and still dressing like that,” one commenter wrote, capturing the collective sigh of a generation that watched Justin grow up only to see him revert back to his teenage wardrobe.
Another fan was equally perplexed, asking, “How can wearing pants like that be remotely comfortable?” A fair question, considering the singer looked like he was one step away from tripping over his own shorts.
And, of course, there were the inevitable comparisons to a bygone era: “Imagine showing this photo of Bieber to a room of society millionaires in 1924. ‘Here’s what the Super Wealthy look like in a hundred years!’ SMH. He just needs a hobo bag and a stick.”
Despite the snarky remarks and the facepalms, some fans expressed genuine concern for the pop star, pointing out that his recent appearances have been more disheveled than dashing. “This kid does not look physically nor mentally healthy and now he will be a father to some poor soul who will have to deal with all of this mess,” one comment read.
The Biebers, who tied the knot in a courthouse wedding in New York City in September 2018, followed by a more traditional ceremony at the luxurious Montage Palmetto Bluffs resort in South Carolina a year later, have become one of Hollywood’s most talked-about couples.
Now, as Hailey’s due date approaches, fans are left wondering what kind of father Justin will be. Will he swap out the floral belts and saggy shorts for diaper bags and baby carriers? Or will we see a new generation of Biebers rocking dad’s signature style, boxers and all?
