Hailey Bieber has got the whole package. From a booming career, glass skin, and a last name everyone knows. But believe it or not, even someone as glam and goal-worthy as Hailey has wrestled with a few inner storms.
In a chat with Vogue Australia, she peeled back the curtain. Hailey admitted that chilling with her supermodel circle (Kendall Jenner, Bella and Gigi Hadid) once had her second-guessing her shine.
Sure, she rolls with fashion’s front-liners, but standing beside statuesque icons wasn’t always sunshine and sparkle. Hailey confessed that being the “more petite” once (she clocks in at 5’8”) made her wonder if she could really hold her own in the modeling jungle.
“Even though I’m five-foot-eight, I’m not a runway girl and I totally used to feel inferior to some of my friends,” Hailey Bieber shared. But this journey doesn’t stay stuck in self-doubt. Hailey’s now cruising in her own lane and loving it.

What Did Hailey Bieber Say About Feeling Inferior To Her Best Friends?
Hailey Bieber has been hustling in the modeling biz since 2014, bagging gigs with labels like Off-White, Versace, and Tommy Hilfiger. Still, even with that power-packed résumé, she wasn’t immune to self-criticism. It comes especially when she is flanked by runway rulers like Gigi, Bella, and Kendall.
“Look at Kendall and Bells and Gigi… they’re all tall and doing every runway,” she said. “For a while, there was a part of me that didn’t know if I could have the career I wanted if I couldn’t do runway.” Adding salt to the wound? The industry’s blunt feedback. “I had so many people, like casting directors, say: ‘We don’t think she’s a real model.’”
That kind of shade can shake anyone’s spirit, especially when your besties own every catwalk from Milan to Paris. But instead of letting it break her, Hailey quietly started paving a path that looked a little different and much like her.

The insecurities haven’t totally disappeared (do they ever?), but now, she’s in a better headspace. “Sometimes I feel like I’m still finding my lane,” she added, “but now I know I’m going in the right direction.”
