Despite their celebration surrounding Hailey, 27, and Justin, 30, some fans have remained curious about his ex-girlfriend of eight years, Selena, 31.
Some believe that there is bad blood between the Lose You to Love Me singer and the socialite, especially after the couple shared footage from their intimate vow renewal ceremony last week.
In the clips, the pregnant Rhode Beauty founder donned a skintight white off-the-shoulder lace gown with a matching veil that wrapped around her head.
Hailey cradled her developing baby bump in the shoot, which seemingly took place on a mountaintop in Hawaii during her recent trip to the islands with Justin.
In the clip, the pair were joined by a minister who held a Bible between them as they grasped hands.
The video included shots of them kissing and hugging as they announced their pregnancy to the world.
SOMETHING FISHY?
But fans noticed something familiar about Hailey’s look for her special day.
The headwrap looked strangely similar to one Selena wore during a recent Paris appearance in February.
The songwriter donned a black, vintage-inspired $4,600 flared Dior minidress, complete with silky tights, Versace black pointed-toe pumps, and diamond jewelry while in the French city.
The Only Murders in the Building star added a black scarf around her head to finish the elegant look.

FAN THEORIES
Eagle-eyed fans noticed Hailey’s choice to wear the same exact styled wrap just three months after Justin’s ex, with several accusing the model of trying to “one-up” Selena.
“Oneupmanship,” one penned on Reddit, sharing a side-by-side of the two looks.
“I get what you’re saying,” a second agreed, while a third commented, “These are super similar.”
“She definitely copied her,” a fourth mentioned.
JELENA
Justin and Selena dated off and on throughout their teen years and into their 20s.
Their romance began in 2010 after their manager introduced them.
On New Year’s Eve, the celebrity couple was spotted kissing on a yacht in Saint Lucia.
Then, in February 2011, Justin and Selena made their red carpet debut together at the Vanity Fair Oscar party.
Three months later, the singer confirmed their romance to Seventeen Magazine.
But the couple’s relationship became rocky in 2012, and they split ways in November due to “trust issues” and spending too much time apart.
By April 2013, they were back together, though their reconciliation didn’t last long.
A year and a half later, they called it quits again.
