Hailey Bieber poses with one of Hollywood's biggest lotharios... after Justin Bieber got close to SZA onstage
Justin Bieber may have recently hit headlines for his affectionate display with singer SZA, but his wife Hailey Bieber doesn't seem worried. In fact, the billion-dollar beauty mogul had some fun of her own on Thursday evening, as she posed up with one of Hollywood's biggest Lotharios: John Mayer. Mayer is a notorious ladies man who has dated a who's who of pinup women including Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jessica Simpson, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Aniston and Katy Perry, to name a few. He has also been rumored to be dating Kiernan Shipka, although neither has confirmed a relationship. John and Hailey could have been mistaken for a power couple as he smiled while ruggedly handsome in grunge rock wear and she was sexy in a strapless black mini dress with pumps and sunglasses. The event was the Audemars Piguet's special evening with Vogue to celebrate 150th Anniversary in Los Angeles. Earlier she was seen dining at Alba. Meanwhile, there have been rampant rumors that Hailey and Justin have been experiencing marital challenges, even though both have denied it. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Mayer is a notorious ladies man who has dated a who's who of pinup women The event was the Audemars Piguet's special evening with Vogue to celebrate 150th Anniversary in Los Angeles This sighting comes after Bieber was frisky with two hot rappers: Sza and Sexyy Red. While Hailey told Vogue that she is doing well with Justin, there are still red flags everywhere as the Sorry singer continues to make questionable moves. He also admitted that during a fight with Hailey, he told her she would never land the cover of Vogue - which she just did. That made Hailey fans turn against Justin. Meanwhile, Hailey just earned boss status on Wednesday when she announced she is selling her skincare line Rhode in a massive $1 billion deal. The model, 28 - who launched the company nearly three years earlier in June 2022 - shared her brand is being acquired by E.l.f. Cosmetics. But the mom-of-one will still serve as founder of the brand as well as Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation. Hailey stepped out solo for the evening as her husband Justin did not appear to be in attendance, though he acknowledged her achievement in an Instagram post, which he did not caption after coming under fire for his post following her Vogue shoot. Hailey put on a leggy display in a strapless, black minidress that clung to her frame and contained a hem that stopped inches above her knees. She stepped out of a sleek, black van upon arriving to the eatery while also sporting a pair of black heels and fashionable shades. Her locks were parted in the middle, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves. Before her big night out, the media personality also had a more laid-back approach to the big news. In a short video shared to TikTok, Hailey showed herself rocking a face mask, eating sushi and listening to Britney Spears ' 2001 hit I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman in her bedroom. 'And I'm just in my room like this..,' captioned Hailey, who boasts 15.4million followers on the social media outlet. Though Hailey stepped out solo, her husband Justin helped celebrate his wife's business deal by reposting the announcement to his main Instagram page. The Peaches hitmaker - who recently came under fire for his comments about her Vogue achievement - additionally uploaded a separate carousel of images which showed the couple cozying up together. Hailey was pictured flashing a big smile on her face as she leaned into her husband who placed his hands on her chest and gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek. The performer opted to not add a caption to the posts shortly after garnering backlash for his comments over Hailey's recent Vogue cover in a shocking tirade. He was on the receiving end of substantial backlash after revealing he cruelly told Hailey that she would never grace the cover of Vogue during a heated argument. On the same day his wife achieved her dream, the pop star divided the internet over his Instagram post congratulating her on the feat. The Sorry hitmaker's sense of humor did not land with his or Hailey's fans as he divulged why her Vogue cover was a full circle moment for them as couple. 'Yo this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight, I told hails that she would never be on the cover of vogue, Yikes I know, so mean, For some reason because I felt so disrespected I thought I gotta get even,' he explained. Justin continued: 'Think as we mature we realize that we're not helping anything by getting even, we're honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection.' He concluded his post by writing a message directly to Hailey, which read: 'So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn't get a vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken.' Many saw his caption as a backhanded compliment and something 'so unnecessary' to share with his more than 294 million Instagram followers. Justin has since taken down the original caption and instead replaced it with a shrugging emoji. In April, it was revealed that Hailey was contemplating the sale of Rhode after hiring both J.P. Morgan and global investment bank Moelis to aid her in finding potential deal options. She previously opened up about her company and told PopSugar last year, 'I still have some fears and hesitations of "I hope this or that doesn't happen." I'm opening up this part of my world to everybody. Rhode is coming straight from my mind to their hands.' The beauty added: 'I'm the majority owner of this brand, I'm the one who put the most money into this brand, so my biggest hope is that people love it for what it is and for the quality of the product.' Another milestone that Rhode has reached is that products will soon hit shelves at Sephora stores beginning in Fall 2025. Fans have since told Hailey to leave her husband Justin following the $1billion deal on social media. One commented, 'Just a casual Hailey Bieber observer but she needs to take that $1B money and run from that man,' and another typed, 'HAILEY GET THAT DIVORCE NOW BEFORE JUSTIN STEALS THAT MONEY.' Following her Vogue interview, reporter Alessandra Codinha shared that Justin emailed her a sweet note about his wife of seven years. 'I've done a lot of dumb things in my life,' he wrote to the journalist by email, 'but the smartest thing I've ever done was marry Hailey'. The Canadian artist also shared he loves family life with the beauty, adding: 'I'm walking in the days I always dreamed of.' The Vogue writer also revealed that they both want more children, with Hailey planning to have at least one more, though she will take it 'a kid at a time'. Hailey also noted that Justin sees her as a 'superhero' after welcoming their child, adding: 'At least that was the case for me.' Hailey gushed that welcoming their first child together their baby made their marriage even stronger. 'It's been my biggest teacher so far,' she said, 'the biggest teacher in my relationship. You see your partner so differently.' Praising Justin as an 'amazing dad,' she added: 'I think you empathize with your parents a lot more. There's so much perspective that comes with it.' Justin also emailed the writer this note in support of his wife: 'She's in the spotlight, and has the attention because of her effortless knack for style, business, art, and fashion. And the way she makes being a mom and wife look easy.'

How modern ceramic techniques are revolutionising high horology: Watches and Wonders 2025 showcased hardy new pieces from Audemars Piguet, Chopard, Chanel and IWC Schaffhausen
Scratch resistant, heat-resistant, non-corrosive – what's not to love about ceramics? Used by humankind for some 25,000 years – and by the watch industry since the 1970s – the material is now becoming a ubiquitous material for high horology, appearing on timepieces in a wide variety of textures, colours and finishes. Audemars Piguet and Chanel are among the brands releasing new-school ceramic pieces. An example from the latter is the J12 Bleu collection of nine watches in a deep blue, nearly black, hue. At Watches and Wonders 2025 , Zenith also jumped on the blue train for its 160th anniversary, releasing new versions of the Chronomaster Sport, Defy Skyline and Pilot Big Date Flyback in a striking bright blue ceramic. Advertisement Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak Offshore Blue Nuit Nuage 50. Photo: Handout 'The properties of ceramics are very interesting, and you can play a lot with colours. I think clients are searching for this,' says Zenith chief products officer Romain Marietta, adding that the brand's uniquely developed hue allowed for a consistent shade over the whole watch. Zirconium oxide is the chemical name of the ceramic commonly used in the watch industry. Previously, its application was either dull or extremely shiny, but newer tools for processing the material have created more possibilities. 'Our suppliers now have more experience in mastering the material itself,' says Marietta, adding that one complexity is that the material shrinks by 30 per cent during the sintering process involved in its manufacture. 'Now, with better precision tools and better understanding, ceramic bracelets are tighter as they can be machined with smaller tolerances.' Zenith's releases this year also proved the brand could reproduce the types of finishes normally seen on other materials with ceramic. 'Polished, satin, microblasted and sandblasted [finishes are now more possible]. This [hi-tech] material is also relatively accessible, so we can create great-looking watches at a very interesting price point,' Marietta continues. He adds that much of the work is done by hand, and suppliers have become better at hand finishing. Zenith Defy Skyline 160th Blue Ceramic. Photo: Handout It's important to note that while brands work with ceramics in their watches, no brand has its own in-house ceramic case making and bracelet facility. Five major suppliers are Bangerter, Ceramaret, Comadur, Dexel and Formatech. As befitting a brand seeking the latest technologies and innovations, Marietta is excited about the future of ceramics. 'We feel the appetite of clients for something different, something surprising. We are also working on other components that have never before been made in ceramic. In the end it is not simple to sell a ceramic watch, because a lot of people prefer traditional materials. But if you appreciate colour, technique and things that are different, ceramic is a very cool material.'
