Justin Bieber Bares Chest At Party As Hailey Baldwin Dates New Man: Best Twitter & Instagram Buzz Cut Reactions
Justin Bieber apparently believes that buttons are a highly overrated clothing item. And so when it was time for a Met Gala after-party, he proved his point by flaunting his chest in an unbuttoned shirt, reported ET.
Although fans were disappointed when the 22-year-old “Sorry” singer failed to make a fashionable appearance at the gala, Justin did surface at the after-party. Held at the Up & Down nightclub in New York City, the occasion gave him a chance to show his bling, tattoo, and the buzz cut that replaced those famous dreadlocks.

Others attending the nightclub bash were Beyoncé, Zendaya, Claire Danes, and Diplo, as well as La La Anthony and her husband, NBA star Carmelo Anthony. Tyga and singer Halsey also mingled with the celebrity crowd.
And there was one more person who made a significant impression at the after-party: Teenage model Hailey Baldwin, who was dating Justin in an off-again, on-again romance for several months, according to the Mirror.
The 19-year-old model dressed to impress at the Met Gala, looking stunning in a long silver and black dress with a sky-high split.
But Hailey proved to be a quick change artist when she re-appeared at the after-party at the Up and Down nightclub. With the model, who wore a light rose strapless mini-dress and impressively high blue suede boots, was a mystery man. Hailey was seen hugging him.
“[Hailey is] someone I really love,” the “Sorry” singer admitted in an interview.
However, the model later clarified that their relationship is not exclusive, leaving both free to date others.
“We are not an exclusive couple,” emphasized Baldwin. “Relationships at this age are already complicated, but I don’t really like to talk about it because it’s between me and him.”
“Hailey is not dating anyone at this time, just hanging out with her friends and working,” added the source. “He is on tour and extremely busy now, so they have not seen each other that much. Bieber and Hailey love each other but have a good understanding where they both stand at the moment.”
And regardless of who the Biebs is dating, the women tend to get less attention than his appearance. Up for discussion currently: That unbuttoned shirt combined with his buzz cut, pointed out Vogue.

The brunette buzz cut look follows his experimentation with bleached blond dreadlocks. As for the significance of his shaved head? Vogue terms it a “coming-of-age hair move,” particularly coupled with that unbuttoned white shirt.
However, Twitter offered the Biebs a variety of opinions. Some tweets about the buzz cut sought to provide a hair history.

Others compared his buzz cut to similar hair style shifts by others, agreeing with the “coming of age” shaved head symbolism.
So @jtimberlake, @zaynmalik, myself, and now @justinbieber have been through the bleached, dyed, and shaved hair experience.. Coincidence? ?

But many Beliebers simply wanted to defend that buzz cut, regardless of how they might have secretly felt about the departed dreadlocks.
In addition, Instagram users had their chance to react to the pictures showcasing his buzz cut.
Some couldn’t handle it.
“SOS my eyes r bleeding,” wailed one Belieber.
Other Instagram users stressed that the buzz cut could be a bad omen.
“I’m anxious about Justin going off the rails again because he shaved his hair. DO YOU REKON HE WILL?” asked another.
But many, as on Twitter, sought to believe in the virtues of that shaved hair style.
“You look neat here. So the hair’s cool,” complimented one faithful fan.
