Selena Gomez vs. Hailey Bieber

The Selena Gomez vs. Hailey Bieber feud in 2026 escalated beyond personal drama into a beauty brand rivalry — Rare Beauty is valued at over $2.7 billion, while Rhode reported around $212 million in annual revenue, putting Rare well ahead of its rival in a head-to-head Sephora competition. The conflict reignited when Gomez posted and deleted an Instagram Story widely seen as a swipe at Bieber. Both quietly unfollowed each other by June 2026, and reports of dueling social media digs and Gomez skipping high-profile events fueled avoidance speculation.
