Rhode, owned by Hailey, 27, was launched in 2022, while Rare Beauty, owned by Selena Gomez, 31, hit stores in 2020.
Fans have noticed similarities between the two brands, and theorized that Hailey was taking a leaf out of Selena’s book.
On Reddit, one fan shared a selection of photos of the competing lines, including oversized makeup photoshoots, similar poses from Hailey and Selena, and similar offices.
“Is Hailey Bieber‘s Rhode Skin copying Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty?” they asked.

“100000000% yes,” one person said in response.
“The answer to this question will always be yes,” said a second.
“Must be maddening to have a C-list celeb copying your every move. Knowing how she’s all churchy, I think I’d just release only demon-themed products and just wait and see,” a third social media user wrote.
LOVE TRIANGLE
This isn’t the first time fans have claimed that Hailey is copying Selena, who dated Justin Bieber, 30, before he married Hailey.
Hailey, a natural blond, was even accused of dyeing her hair brunette in order to look more like Selena.
Selena and Justin started dating as early as 2010, before he moved on with Hailey in 2014.
Hailey and Justin then split in 2016, with Justin getting back with Selena before calling it quits in 2018.
Justin then got back with Hailey, and the couple tied the knot in September 2018, just months after he’d broken up with his pop star ex.
Some fans claimed that Hailey stole Justin from Selena, judging from the brief period between Justin’s breakup and his wedding.
Hailey appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast in 2022, and slammed rumors that chating had been involved.

‘COPYCAT’
Alongside being accused of copying Selena, some fans think Hailey has another pop starlet on her mind.
In March, Justin followed Sabrina Carpenter on Instagram, and Hailey posted a photo of herself with a blue eye filter hours later, emulating Sabrina’s bright blue eyes.
“Copycat Hails. I’m 100% sure she saw that Justin started following Sabrina on Instagram and now all of a sudden she posts this really low-quality, boring picture of her with blue/green eyes… She is desperate!”
Alongside posting photos with similar styling to Sabrina, Hailey also shared a cryptic post of herself listening to Beyonce‘s version of Jolene, which centers around a woman threatening a relationship.
One person shared side by side photos of Hailey and Sabrina on Reddit, suggesting that the cryptic post was aimed at the singer.
“She spends so much time obsessing over and emulating other women that she probably doesn’t even know who she is anymore,” said another in response.
