Bailey’s LBD collection has been on complete turn this fashion season. In January, she launched her spree in a thigh-high slit asymmetrical Michael Kors gown, followed by a backless, high-slit maxi dress with gilt cutouts for the Dundas show during Paris Fashion Week.

On March 12, she wore the Luisa dress in black from Et Ochs’s spring/summer 2023 collection to the annual Elton John’s AIDS Foundation Oscars party.

Bailey said, “I was staying in a hotel in Charleston and was like, ‘Just come hang out. We can chat, chill.’ Everything’s closed, so it’s not like we can go out anywhere.”

Since that time, the couple’s relationship has been entirely blissful. The two frequently engage in PDA through flirtatious Instagram posts and comments and producing TikTok clips together.

Bailey told ET, “I had zero hesitation to post on social media about it because I was like, ‘No matter what happens, you will be in my life forever.’ I care about her so much.”
