Hailey Bieber has once again proven her mastery of archival fashion, turning heads on Instagram with a vintage Tom Ford-for-Gucci bikini from the 1990s.

The golden-tan set, featuring a classic bandeau top and low-rise bottoms, is accented by an oversized gold-metal buckle on the hip, a signature detail from Ford’s iconic Gucci era.
