HAILEY Bieber has seemingly posed tactically for a new high-fashion photoshoot.
The model and social media star's cover for a prestigious magazine has been unveiled.
For the Vogue Japan September 2023 Issue, Hailey, 26, posed by herself for an image focused on her torso.
The star had her short brunette hair slicked back, along with dark, sultry eye makeup.
Stephen Baldwin's daughter wore a cream halterneck top, along with brown leather gloves and gold jewelry.
Notably, Hailey posed with one of her arms wrapped around her stomach, concealing its shape from view.
She appears to have been going to great lengths to cover up her belly in recent weeks, amid rumors that she could be pregnant with her husband Justin Bieber's baby.
This weekend, Hailey was caught cradling her stomach with both hands during a night out with Justin, 29.
The couple were seen backstage at a recent Drake concert in a photo shared by a fan.
Justin was perched on a giant speaker, wearing a simple white T-shirt, denim shorts, and a black hat turned backward.
Hailey was standing next to him, leaning against a wall.
She crossed her hands over her exposed belly, which fans say revealed signs of a baby bump.
"Is she preggers?" one person asked in the comments section. "Looks like [it.]"
Another echoed: "It does look like she's pregnant."
While a third gleefully pointed out: "Her hands on her bellyyyy!"
The model recently fueled rumors that she's having a baby while hanging out with her close friend, Lori Harvey.
Earlier this month, she was spotted in a see-through white mini-dress, and it looked like she gave fans a key clue.
She paired the dress with a navy and yellow Nike baseball cap, gold earrings, and a large tan purse.
Her massive engagement ring was on full display as she grabbed her stomach while walking down the street.
Not only did she grab her lower stomach, but she touched it as she was passing a baby stroller.
Hailey and Justin are coming up on their fifth wedding anniversary, having tied the knot in 2018.
After so many years of marriage, fans have started to wonder when they'll have a baby - and it seems so have their friends.
When the couple was recently spotted out and about in California, one of Hailey's friends shouted: "I know you're pregnant."
Hailey didn't seem to respond to the comment except smile.
