Halle Bailey Nailed the Mermaidcore Aesthetic in a Sheer Plunging Gown With a Netted Pattern

Mermaidcore is going to be everywhere this summer —  from Jessica Chastain's sequined, seashell-adorned Oscar de la Renta gown to the sparkly halter minidress worn by Sofia Richie on her honeymoon. But leave it to Halle Bailey, the queen of under-the-sea fashion, to give The Little Mermaid's Ariel a true run for her money.

On Thursday, the actress arrived at the premiere of Disney's upcoming live-action iteration of The Little Mermaid (which hits theaters May 26), in a whimsical Georges Chakra gown that nailed the mermaid aesthetic perfectly. The sheer halter dress included a plunging neckline trimmed with sparkly pearls, an open back, and a sash down one side that fell into a floor-sweeping skirt that featured a netted motif. Silver strappy heels and diamond pearl drop earrings accessorized her outfit, while Bailey's long box braids were swept back into a low ponytail with a side part.

Shimmery eyeshadow, glossy pink lips, and a deep sea-blue manicure embellished with rhinestones and pearls completed her glam.
