The early noughties and 2010s were a tricky time to navigate the red carpet for many a celebrity, and Justin Bieber is no exception.

When we first met the Canadian singer in 2009, then aged 15, he was as well known for his side-swept hair as his pop-perfect vocals.

However, almost 13 years on, the Yummy singer has managed to transition into one of today's most on-trend stars.

Moving more into dance-inspired songs as his career progressed, Bieber, 27, has racked up a number of Grammy Awards, as well as branched into on-screen work with several concert films and a documentary series.

As his CV evolved, so, too, did his wardrobe, with the Sorry singer ditching the waistcoats and bow ties of 2010 in favour of sleeker, more suave tailoring. In recent years, Bieber has adopted more of a streetwear focus, stepping out in basketball separates, high-fashion trainers and vintage tees.

He's also as versatile when it comes to his grooming, having sported everything from a thick bowl-inspired cut to bleached locks and a shaved scalp.

Here, we take a look at how the star's style has evolved throughout his time in the spotlight.
