Hailey Bieber's Rhode recently dropped its Summer 2026 Collection and in honor of the bronzy drop, the beauty brand is taking the Rhode Summer Station on tour this season—and its first stop is Newport, Rhode Island. From now through June 14th, Bowen's Wharf will host the Rhode Summer Station as part of a first-come, first-served experience. At this traveling kiosk, guests can shop new launches like the Highlight Milk, Pocket Bronze, and Pocket Brush, plus limited edition Peptide Lip Tints and items exclusive to each city. Additionally, visitors can expect surprises and exclusive tour merch at each stop, and after Rhode Island, the Rhode Summer Station is headed to Dallas, Texas.
According to Rhode, this tour kicks off in the United States, and fans in Canada and Europe can expect to experience it for themselves with additional tour dates and locations to be announced.
