It’s only fair to say that the GAP x Hailey Bieber collaboration has been living rent-free in my head. Along with seemingly everyone else on the internet, I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of time thinking about The Hailey Jean — only to discover that, naturally, Australia has missed out.
If you’re sensing a pattern here, you’re not alone. It feels like every time fashion delivers the perfect wardrobe staple, Australian shoppers are left watching from the sidelines while everyone overseas checks out with ease. Rude.
The collaboration includes two pairs — the Hailey Extra Baggy Jean and the Hailey Low Rise Loose Jean. While I’d happily take either, it’s the Low Rise Loose style that’s sparked my obsession. Relaxed through the leg with a straight, slightly slouchy silhouette, they’re the kind of jeans that somehow manage to feel both vintage-inspired and incredibly current. Think effortless ’90s energy with the polished simplicity that has become synonymous with Bieber’s wardrobe.
Unfortunately, unless you currently know someone in the US who has been able to get their hands on the jeans and ship internationally, buying the real thing isn’t as simple as adding them to your cart. The collection never officially landed in Australia, leaving local fashion fans to admire the campaign — and the outfit inspiration — from afar.

Now before you jump ahead, you would be correct in thinking that yes, you can shop select GAP products via Myer in Australia. However, I regret to inform you that the collaboration in question is not a part of the available range.
The good news? Spending far too much time trawling the internet does occasionally have its perks. While getting your hands on the viral GAP jeans themselves isn’t exactly possible, finding styles that capture the same effortlessly cool look absolutely is.
So, if you’ve been thinking about Hailey Bieber’s GAP jeans as much as I have, I’ve done the hard work for you and found the styles that offer the same look, without the need to grab your passport and book a flight.
Levi’s Low Loose Jeans
If there’s one pair that comes closest to capturing the effortless appeal of Hailey Bieber’s viral GAP jeans, it’s these Levi’s Low Loose Jeans.
They lean into the same low-rise, relaxed, straight-leg silhouette at The Hailey Jean. The Levi’s pair feature an effortless, slightly slouchy fit through the hips and thighs that feels borrowed-from-the-’90s in all the right ways. Crafted from rigid 100 per cent cotton denim, they’ll only get better with wear, too.
Wear them with a fitted white tank and kitten heels as Bieber did in the campaign for the signature off-duty model aesthetic, or throw on an oversized blazer and loafers for an outfit that feels a little more polished.
If it’s the laid-back proportions and understated cool of Hailey Bieber’s GAP jeans you’re chasing, these are one of the closest alternatives you’ll find in Australia.
Assembly Label Low Curve Mid Rise Jeans
If you’ve spent any time on online searching for Hailey Bieber’s GAP jeans, chances are you’ve already come across these. The Assembly Label Low Curve Mid Rise Jeans have quietly become one of the internet’s favourite alternatives, with shoppers pointing to their similarly relaxed proportions.
Made from rigid 100 per cent cotton denim, the mid-rise style features a roomy fit through the hips before falling into a full-length, softly curved leg that creates the same easy, oversized silhouette that’s made Bieber’s pair so covetable.
While the shape is slightly more sculptural than a classic straight leg, the overall effect is just as uncomplicated — and every bit as wearable. If you’re after that cool-girl denim formula without waiting for an Australian release, these are one of the strongest contenders.
St. Agni 90s Low Rise Jeans
Another great alternative, these St. Agni 90s Low Rise Jeans lean into the same vintage-inspired aesthetic that made Bieber’s GAP pair an instant talking point.
Designed with a relaxed, straight-leg fit and a full-length silhouette, they have that perfectly undone feel that looks as though you’ve owned them for years — in the best possible way.
The St. Agni pair also sit low on the hip, and the overall shape captures the same loose, easy proportions that define the look. Crafted from premium cotton denim with a structured hand feel, they’re the kind of jeans that become a wardrobe essential — ideal if you’re trying to recreate the GAP look while investing in a pair you’ll reach for season after season.
Camilla And Marc Rune Denim Jean
If you’re after something that feels a little more elevated, these Camilla And Marc Rune Denim Jeans are a worthy contender.
Unlike Hailey Bieber’s GAP jeans, they sit at a mid-rise rather than a low rise, but the straight-leg cut and relaxed fit through the leg create a similarly modern silhouette. They’re roomy without feeling oversized, making them an easy option if you prefer a little more coverage through the waist.
The cleaner finish gives them a slightly more tailored feel than Bieber’s vintage-inspired pair, but they still capture the same easy, off-duty mood that’s made the viral GAP jeans such a fashion favourite.
AGOLDE Vintage Loose High-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans
AGOLDE make some of my favourite jeans on the market, so it comes as no surprise that this pair immediately reminded me of Hailey Bieber’s viral GAP style.
While these sit much higher on the waist, they share the same relaxed straight-leg shape and slightly loose proportions that give the original jeans their cool, vintage-inspired appeal. The elongated leg creates a similarly laid-back silhouette, making them an easy stand-in if you’re chasing the same aesthetic.
The high-rise fit also makes these a great option if you prefer a little more coverage or feel self-conscious around your waistline, offering a more secure fit without sacrificing that relaxed look.
Crafted from rigid 100 per cent cotton denim, they’re designed to soften and mould to your shape over time, making them the sort of investment pair you’ll reach for on repeat. If your budget stretches a little further, these are well worth considering.
