Hailey Bieber, the renowned supermodel, recently shared a poignant tribute in honor of her and Justin Bieber’s fifth wedding anniversary. This milestone is deeply intertwined with personal emotions, as it falls on the same day that would have marked her late friend and esteemed fashion designer, Virgil Abloh’s birthday. According to Hailey, Virgil would have celebrated his 44th birthday today.
The heartfelt note reveals how difficult it was for the 27-year-old model to express her emotions on this bittersweet day. Today marks the day she and Justin committed to a lifelong journey, fittingly adorned in a gown crafted by Virgil himself. Reflecting on this, Hailey mentions how wearing that exquisitely designed dress elicits tears of both joy and sorrow.
She took the opportunity to pay homage to Virgil Abloh, asking her fans to join her in a moment of prayer and remembrance for her dear friend.
Hailey fondly reminisced about the meticulous effort and personal touches that Virgil and his team infused into the creation of her wedding gown. Every detail was customized, reflecting the dedication and love that went into making her dream dress a reality.
Now, looking back on these cherished memories, Hailey finds it surreal that Virgil is no longer part of this world, leaving a void in her heart.
Virgil Abloh, who was 41 when he passed away in November 2021, succumbed to cancer. In her tribute, Hailey expressed profound gratitude for his friendship and the immense talent he shared with her and the world. She misses him dearly and cherishes the beautiful legacy he left behind.
