Hailey Bieber Is GQ‘s Latest Man Of The Year Cover Star
GQ“s newest “Man of the Year” honoree is…Hailey Bieber! The mogul and model fronts their latest cover for its “Men of the Year” issue, where she’s honored for the massive success of her skincare and beauty brand Rhode this year. Alongside Bieber—who’s photographed by the pool for her cover story—the magazine’s other honorees for its annual awards include Stephen Colbert, Oscar Isaac, and SZA. In her accompanying feature interview, Bieber opened up on her major deal selling Rhode to E.l.f. for $1 billion—as well as her experience as a young mother, amassing over 55 million followers on Instagram, and views on guys using Rhode…including husband Justin Bieber!
“My husband uses Rhode, and has since the beginning and loves it, and I have a lot of male friends that are obsessed with it and use it,” Bieber said. “And I’ve put a lot of guys who never really were into skin care onto the Rhode stuff, tons of Justin’s friends, and they come back to me and they’re like, “I ran out of my cleanser, I need more.” And that, to me, makes me so happy, because I think that skin care is for everybody and everybody should have access to a great skin-care routine, and it doesn’t take much to have a great skin-care routine. Even if you’re just washing your face and putting on moisturizer at night, that’s doing a lot more than doing nothing.”
