Halle Bailey Channels Ariel in Under the Sea-Inspired Dress at 'Little Mermaid' Premiere in Mexico City

Halle Bailey looked so much like Ariel at the premiere of The Little Mermaid in Mexico City, Mexico on Thursday night (May 11).

The 23-year-old singer and actress was joined by onscreen father Javier Bardem at the event, which was hosted at Parque Toreo.

She stunned in a sheer seafoam dress that was bedazzled with jewels. Her gown featured net details and a train that trailed behind her as she posed for photos on the blue carpet.

Javier kept his look more lowkey, pairing a navy blue button down with a dark shirt and pants.

If you missed it, earlier this week Halle met someone with a very special connection to The Little Mermaid at the movie’s Hollywood premiere.

The Little Mermaid premieres in theaters on May 26. While we’ve got a bit of a wait ahead of us, you can check out some newly released footage and the updated lyrics to “Kiss the Girl.”

FYI: Halle is wearing a Georges Chakras dress and Dena Kemp earrings.

Early Reactions to 'The Little Mermaid' Praise Halle Bailey, Hail It As Best Disney Live Action Adaptation

Early Reactions to 'The Little Mermaid' Praise Halle Bailey, Hail It As Best Disney Live Action Adaptation

The Little Mermaid‘s world premiere took place on Monday night (May 8) and first reactions have been revealed!

Many critics and press outlets were able to catch the film on it’s first night in front of audiences, and it’s high praise all around.

The live action adaptation of course stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s (Javier Bardem) daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric (Jonah Hauer-King).

While mermaids are forbidden from interacting with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula (Melissa McCarthy), which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy.

Halle Bailey Opens Up About How Filming 'The Little Mermaid' In London Helped Connect Her to Ariel

Halle Bailey Opens Up About How Filming 'The Little Mermaid' In London Helped Connect Her to Ariel

Halle Bailey really got into character while filming The Little Mermaid!

The 23-year-old star of the upcoming movie is opening up about how being isolated in London during the pandemic helped her connect to her character, Ariel.

“I found that a lot of my time in London was that I was feeling the exact way Ariel was feeling in the beginning of the story. It was my first time away from home, I grew up in a very big family. I am the baby of three girls and I have a baby brother. I lived in my parents’ home up until two years ago, and so I grew up always having people around, especially my siblings to guide me. My sister Chloe, who’s like a second mom to me, has always been there in my personal life and my career, holding my hand and guiding me through every step of life,” Halle shared with V Magazine. So this was the first project that I did by myself. When I found out I was cast, it was this shock of suddenly finding out that I’d have to move to London–and then the pandemic happened. So suddenly I found myself in London isolated by myself, the borders were closed, the world was shut down, and my family couldn’t even come visit me.”
