When the calendar flipped to June, model‑entrepreneur Hailey Bieber chose a sun‑kissed photo shoot to announce the start of what she’s dubbing the “summer of Rhode.” The Instagram post, which quickly went viral, featured the 29‑year‑old in a sleek black bikini that highlighted her toned figure and her confidence as a fashion icon. Beyond the striking visuals, the post also served as a reminder of Hailey’s growing influence in both the beauty industry and her husband’s music career.
Hailey’s New Bikini Campaign Marks the Start of Summer
On June 1, Hailey shared a carousel of images on Instagram, each frame capturing a different angle of the black‑and‑white swimwear set. The caption simply read, “Summer of Rhode,” a nod to the skincare line she founded two years ago. Fans flooded the comments with compliments, praising her physique, the bikini’s design, and the effortless way she carries herself in front of the camera.
Typical of her social media presence, the post sparked a flurry of playful banter. One commenter wrote, “@lilbieber you’re such a lucky man,” while another joked, “I promise I looked respectfully @lilbieber.” A third fan added, “Justin is the luckiest man 🤭🔥🤎,” underscoring how Hailey’s personal brand and family life are intertwined in the public eye.
Beyond the compliments, the shoot also highlighted Hailey’s collaboration with several fashion and swimwear designers who have been eager to work with her. The black bikini, which features a high‑waisted cut and subtle cut‑outs, is part of a limited‑edition collection that will be released later in the summer. According to the brand’s press release, a portion of the proceeds will support a charity focused on mental‑health awareness for young women.
Rhode Skincare: From Launch to Billion‑Dollar Sale
While the bikini photo captured headlines, the real story behind the caption is Hailey’s entrepreneurial venture, Rhode. Launched in 2022, the brand quickly became a staple for celebrities and everyday consumers alike, thanks to its minimalist packaging and focus on barrier‑repairing ingredients. Within a year, Rhode expanded its product line to include cleansers, moisturizers, and a cult‑favorite sunscreen.
In a deal that surprised industry insiders, Hailey sold a majority stake in Rhode for a reported $1 billion in early 2025. The transaction not only cemented her status as a savvy businesswoman but also gave the brand the resources to scale globally. Since the sale, Rhode has opened flagship stores in New York, London, and Seoul, and it continues to roll out new formulations aimed at addressing specific skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation and sensitivity.Hailey remains involved in the brand’s creative direction, often sharing behind‑the‑scenes looks at product development meetings and testing sessions. Her hands‑on approach ensures that Rhode retains its founder’s aesthetic—clean, effective, and inclusive.
