Since it was announced that Halle Bailey would play Ariel in the live-action rendition of the Disney classic — The Little Mermaid — the star has been paying tiny homages here and there. Her marine style voyage reached a climax during the film’s international premiere at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre.
Bailey arrived at the much-anticipated event wearing a structured metallic blue Valdrin Sahiti gown that embodied mermaidcore. The glittering column dress had a seashell-inspired sculptural neckline (which), a tapered waist, and an A-line skirt with a leg split in the back that showcased her silver strappy heels. Bailey’s hair was adorned with beautiful diamond earrings, a smattering of silver rings, and long box braids with curled ends. Glossy lips, rhinestone and pearl-encrusted ocean blue nails, and shimmering makeup completed her beautiful look.
The actor was joined by her older sister Chlöe, with whom she performs as an eponymous pop R&B duo, in addition to co-star Simone Ashley, who donned a bright pink Atelier Versace. In a personalized sunshine-yellow Gert-Johan Coetzee gown, Chlöe looked gorgeous.
