Hailey Bieber's latest vacation outfit was built around restraint. Strolling the coast in Greece with husband Justin Bieber and their son Jack Blues, she paired a backless white cropped V-neck top with a black midi skirt from Alfie Paris, a small woven bag by The Row, oval sunglasses and a zig-zag headband. The look read as pared-back '90s dressing, with the kind of understated ease often compared to Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's off-duty style.
The shoe doing the quiet work
Anchoring the outfit was the Kinto sandal from A.EMERY, a Sydney-founded label known among fashion insiders for its refined take on everyday footwear. The $180 style is a minimalist black leather flip-flop with a squared toe, a far cry from the more elaborate vacation sandals that tend to dominate summer style coverage. It's not Bieber's first time reaching for the brand, either: she's previously been photographed in A.EMERY's heeled thong sandal, suggesting the label has become a genuine go-to rather than a one-off styling choice.
A case for simple vacation footwear
The appeal is practical as much as aesthetic. A clean, low-maintenance sandal like the Kinto works equally well for beachside drinks or a walk over cobbled streets, without demanding much thought once it's packed. In an outfit built almost entirely around soft neutrals and quiet, well-made basics, the sandal fits the same brief: nothing about it is trying too hard, and that's precisely the point.
