If there were an “it girl” for 2026, it would likely be Hailey Bieber. From her make-up, to street style, the supermodel and founder of Rhode is the ultimate muse. Inspired by her effortless style, Adanola has announced a collection with Bieber, which the Manchester-based brand says draws on her love of ballet training.
Ballet has long been a source of inspiration in the fashion industry. From Coco Chanel designing the costumes worn by the Ballet Russes in the 1920s, to the popularisation of ballet flats by former Vogue editor Diana Vreeland and Carrie Bradshaw’s iconic tutu in the opening credits of Sex and the City, the silhouettes, fabrics and styles seen on stage have made their way into our wardrobes.
More recently, “balletcore” has had a resurgence after Miu Miu’s ballet flats feature in its autumn/winter 22 show, with designers Sandy Liang, Cecilie Bahnsen, Simone Rocha, and high street brands like M&S and Mango stepping in tow.

Now, Hailey Bieber has designed a collection with athleisure brand Adanola, which has used the rehearsal studio as its source of inspiration. A taste of how Bieber personally styles dance looks, the 23-piece collection features V-neck tops, shorts, tanks in soft pastels, as well as yoga pants with a fold over waist, a cropped mohair jacket and lilac leg warmers – all key trends dominating balletcore today.
There’s also outwear in the form of a ruched jacket, a beige zippered knit and a fleece in blue and pink – plus a bag for your work-out essentials.
The collection “that moves seamlessly from workout wear to streetwear,” according to Bieber, goes live tomorrow, 15 October at 7pm on Adanola’s website. Set your alarms as I’m expecting it to sell out quickly.
