From YouTube Tween to Streetwear Style Star, See Justin Bieber’s Style Evolution
1/22Justin Bieber started out as a cute teen with side-swept bangs, who was never seen on a red carpet without his signature skater kicks and beloved purple hoodie. Today, the Justin we all know and love has evolved into an international pop sensation and all-out style icon. He's moved on from dropcrotch pants and aviator shades and onto tailored suits and Chelsea boots. Bieber was even courted by Calvin Klein for a campaign, further solidifying his spot in the fashion world.
In honor of the release of Purpose, which has introduced a new sound along with his new look, we rounded up some of his most memorable red carpet moments since he first set foot in the spotlight a decade ago. One thing's for sure: Though everything else has changed, Justin's sneaker collection is as impress as ever.
