Hailey Bieber shared a birthday tribute snapshot on Tuesday celebrating her business partner and Rhode co-founder Lauren Ratner [1, 2].
The public acknowledgment highlights the professional partnership driving one of the most prominent celebrity-led beauty brands in the current market.
Bieber used the social media post to honor Ratner, whom she described as a "birthday angel" [1, 2]. The tribute focuses on Ratner's contributions behind the scenes of the Rhode beauty empire [1, 2]. While Bieber often serves as the public face of the brand, Ratner holds a critical role as co-founder and partner in the business operations [1, 2].
The snapshot was posted on Aug. 11, 2026 [1, 2]. This gesture comes as the brand continues to expand its reach in the global skincare industry. The relationship between the two women is central to the company's strategic direction, and product development.
Industry observers note that such public displays of partnership often signal internal stability within celebrity-owned ventures. By centering Ratner in the celebration, Bieber acknowledges the collaborative effort required to maintain the brand's momentum. The post serves as both a personal greeting and a professional validation of Ratner's influence on the company's success [1, 2].
Rhode has grown rapidly since its inception, leveraging Bieber's massive social media presence and Ratner's business expertise. The two have worked closely to position the line as a minimalist approach to skincare, focusing on a curated selection of high-performance products.
