Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande’s syrupy sweet track, ‘Stuck With U‘ just scored the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. And we’re taking the celebrations a step further by looking at Justin’s sense of style and how it’s evolved over the years. He’s a stand-out performer, there’s no denying that, but it’s interesting to see how his style choices have matured from 2011 through till 2020.

So, go on, take a look.

1. Justin Bieber arrives at the 2011 VH1 Do Something Awards at the Hollywood Palladium on August 14, 2011. Ahh, would you look at that? The bangs, the baby face, the baggy pants. Thankfully, this look didn’t stay for too long.

2. Justin Bieber on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, on June 27, 2012. Denim suits him, it really does. The quiff’s working out quite well too, definitely makes him look older. But those biker gloves, hmmmm, odd choice.

5. Justin Bieber attends the “China: Through The Looking Glass” Costume Institute Benefit Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 4, 2015. Wow, someone’s really grown up! He’s carrying off that gold embroidered jacket so well. If you look a little closer, you’ll see that it has illustrations of dragons which makes this fit even cooler.

6. Justin Bieber performs during the 2016 Purpose World Tour at Staples Center on March 20, 2016 in Los Angeles, California. Here are 3 things we absolutely love about this look: the ripped jeans, the conquer-the-world long coat and of course, the bandana holding back his blonde locks.

7. Justin Bieber attends Hand in Hand: A Benefit for Hurricane Relief at Universal Studios AMC on September 12, 2017. Ok first off, we chose this photo for the sole purpose of making fun of Joe Jonas’s mustache. Just kidding. Justin looks super adorable here, from those giant glasses to the baby blue headband – he’s managed to melt our hearts.

8. Justin Bieber stops at the Buckingham Palace fountain to play a couple of songs with his guitar for Hailey Baldwin and fans on September 18, 2018. Oh look! Long-haired, hoodie clad Justin has finally made his entrance. This is the beginning of a whole new era.

9. Justin Bieber performs with Ariana Grande at Coachella Stage during the 2019 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival on April 21, 2019. Since we are celebrating ‘Stuck With U’, how could we not treat you with this picture. Strangely enough, the gold smiley-face chain isn’t looking out of place at all.

10. Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber arrives at the Premiere Of YouTube Originals’ “Justin Bieber: Seasons” at Regency Bruin Theatre on January 27, 2020. What do ya’ll think about the mustache? Yay or Nay? But one thing’s for sure – he looks happier than ever and so, so comfortable.
