His Style Transformation

The 22-year-old has developed a refined fashion sense since working with celebrity stylist Karla Welch. By experimenting with an urban aesthetic accented with laid-back streetwear and skater-inspired separates, Bieber has been showing off sartorial choices that are entertaining and always fearless.

His Musical Evolution

It's no secret that the Biebs has a silky-smooth voice, and his latest album, Purpose, is evidence of his notable musical evolution. After the release of "What Do You Mean?" last year, our Bieber fever was truly ignited courtesy of the hit's pared-down melody, simplified acoustics and irresistible dance beats.

His Reformed Behavior

While he's still in his early '20s, JB has already reformed his bad-boy ways by scaling back on the epic ragers and showcasing a more conscientious approach to fun with friends. He gets bonus points for his endless adoration for younger siblings Jazmyn and Jaxon.
