Hailey Bieber hit up L.A.’s Daily Front Row’s 9th Annual Fashion Awards Thursday night, where she gave Justin Bieber his flowers … thanking him for backing her from day one, as she scooped the Beauty Innovator of the Year award.

Justin’s been in full multitasking mode — dropping religious posts, checking the paps, and still showing up strong for Hailey as she chases her dream … though he was notably absent last night.

Hailey spoke about her Rhode Skin brand — giving love to her friends for being her guinea pigs, and thanking her loyal customers, saying the brand wouldn’t exist without them.

Hailey, glowing in a strapless blue velvet dress, was the epitome of poise and elegance — but while she was showering Justin with praise, he was on a whole different wavelength last night … posting a vid of paps swarming him and begging them to give him space.

But let’s keep the spotlight where it should be — indoors with Hailey, honey, ’cause it was all about the fashion!
