Everyone has locked in on the couple’s diametrically opposed outfits arriving at a NYC store location: Hailey wore a sleek red minidress and heels while Justin looked more like he was still slumped on the sofa at home, sporting a grey sweatshirt-shorts combo and yellow Crocs.
“I’d be so angry if I was giving the girls my best look of the year and here come my husband,” one X (formerly Twitter) user @siyyaninaason wrote on Monday, amassing over 200,000 likes.

Some supporters also praised Hailey for supposedly letting Justin be his “authentic self” by dressing like this. Others didn’t pick a side but simply marvelled at the fact that a couple could dress so differently but still look great.
Many X users cracked jokes about Justin’s outfit and the juxtaposition of the couple’s attire. One person said they looked like masculine and feminine Sim characters, while another user quipped that Justin always looks like he’s wearing the casual outfit of someone “help[ing] his mum bring groceries in from the car”.
Other accounts jokingly suggested that Hailey should divorce her husband because of his fashion choices: “Every picture I see of them together ends up being grounds for divorce,” user @Tea_witdre wrote.
But Justin’s look was also not the only one scrutinised this week.

Some attacked Hailey’s outfit for being too much to wear at a doughnut chain – even if it was for a brand launch – but those critiques earned their own backlash. “The sad thing is she can’t win. If she dressed in sweats as well, they’d say she’s basic and has no style. She dressed up and now it’s too much,” one person wrote.
Their paparazzi photos have been a constant source of intrigue, even if they’ve never received this much analysis. “Yet again, Justin and Hailey looked like they were dressed for different seasons in this August 6, 2018, snap,” Insider previously wrote about Hailey donning a sundress while Justin is in his typical hoodie and sweatpants.
The TikToker @devotedly.yours said she could profoundly relate to both looks from the couple from Monday. Though she wished Justin had put more of an effort in, she also praised the reliability of his ’fit: “If you ever catch me in the streets, I typically look like this!”
