Hailey Bieber recently showed support for Selena Gomez after Gomez’s film Emilia Perez won four Golden Globes, including Best Motion Picture. Hailey, 28, liked an Instagram post by Anthony Vaccarello of Saint Laurent, celebrating the film’s achievements. This gesture is particularly notable given the long-standing rumors of a feud between the two women, stemming from their connections to Justin Bieber.
Vaccarello’s post expressed pride in producing what he called “the best film of the year,” congratulating everyone involved in Emilia Perez, which has been recognized as a major success at the Golden Globes. The film, a Spanish-language musical, has gained significant acclaim, winning additional awards for Zoe Saldaña and Best Original Song, among others.
This isn’t the first time Hailey has publicly supported Selena. Last month, she liked a post featuring Gomez’s engagement announcement to Benny Blanco, signaling a possible thaw in their perceived rivalry.

The Emilia Perez film, which tells the story of a tattooed cartel boss undergoing gender confirmation surgery, has been a standout for Netflix since its release. It garnered attention at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and is now making strides in its Oscars bid, leading the Academy Awards shortlists in several categories.
The relationship between Hailey and Selena has been under scrutiny since Justin Bieber’s on-and-off relationship with Gomez from 2010 to 2018. Hailey and Justin married in September 2018, shortly after his final split with Selena, which fueled speculation about a feud between the two women.
In a June 2023 interview, Hailey addressed the ongoing narratives surrounding her relationship with Selena. She expressed frustration over the “made-up narratives” that have caused hurt feelings and emphasized that the conflict is not about pitting women against each other but rather about the harmful narratives and hatred that can arise from such speculation. She called for unity rather than divisiveness, highlighting the importance of bringing people together instead of fostering rivalry.
