Hailey Bieber Gets Candid About Her Relatable Arm Insecurity After Academy Museum Gala: ‘So Real’

Hailey Bieber really is just like Us.

Bieber, 28, reacted to a relatable meme that used a glamorous photo from her appearance at the annual Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles via Instagram on Tuesday, October 21.

In the pic, the Rhode founder looked off to the side with her mouth half open and seemingly gave a disapproving side eye. The meme read, “When you see a bad pic of your arm,” to which Bieber replied about the common insecurity, “Omg that one’s so real.”

Fans echoed the same sentiment while sounding off about their own photos that are not the most flattering via social media.

“Nothing will ruin your day like seeing a side view picture taken of you and your arm 💔,” one wrote via X earlier this month, while another added, “I don’t think my arms are aware what size my body is. That side view is just not right.” A third commented, “I’ve never felt so validated 🤣 my arms betray me everytime, the ratio is off balance.”

Bieber still oozed confidence while walking on the red carpet at the gala, which was held on Saturday, October 18.

For the event, she rocked a brown Schiaparelli dress featuring a chocolate bra top with white fabric peeking out from her pointed cups. The top then cascaded into a tan corset before attaching to a dark brown skirt adorned with crystal embellishments and a thigh-high slit.

Bieber made the look even more glamorous with a diamond bracelet and matching rings.

For glam, she donned dewy skin, thanks to her Rhode products, as well as blushed and highlighted cheeks, lined, pink lips, a touch of eyeshadow blended into her crease and long lashes. Her caramel brown hair was parted down the middle and styled in big curls.

While recapping her night via Instagram on Monday, October 20, Bieber shared a hilarious photo of herself attempting to sit down in her structured outfit. She awkwardly leaned into a booth without being able to fully relax and bend her back. She gave the camera a pout while stretching her arm out on the back of the booth.

“Always a beautiful night @academymuseum 🤎,” she captioned the post.

This isn’t the first time Bieber has reacted to memes on her own account. Back in April 2024, she responded to fans using her Rhode phone case, which is designed to hold one of her Peptide Lip Tints in a socket on the back of it, as a joint carrier.

Bieber shared the pic, from a fan’s account, via her Instagram Story and approved of it being used to store weed for “Coachella Weekend.”

SZA also got in on the fun, and commented, “Finally some fashion s*** I can USE 🤝🏾,”

Hailey’s husband, Justin Bieber, later begged his wife to approve a similar idea for his Skylrk brand. In May, he shared a pic of a prototype phone case with a hollowed-out bump that could be used to store a blunt in it.

“Workin on the moldingggggggggggggg,” Justin, 31, wrote alongside the pic. “Please approve this idea @haileybieber lmfao.”
