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.

If you didn’t know, Jodi reportedly has a little cameo in the film, with a sort of passing the torch moment.

“She doesn’t need any advice from me. She’s brilliant. I did get to meet her a few times and chat with her, and just to tell her how proud I was of her,” Jodi told ET on the carpet. “But I love that she has a purity of heart and a pure spirit. You can see that vulnerability, and that child-like, and that bravery and courage coming through. It’s beautiful. I’m so thrilled for her and I’m so proud of her.”

Also hitting the carpet at the premiere were Halle‘s co-stars Jonah Hauer-King, Melissa McCarthy, with husband Ben Falcone and daughter Vivian, Javier Bardem, Daveed Diggs, Awkwafina, Jacob Tremblay, Noma Dumezweni, Art Malik, Simone Ashley, Lorena Andrea, Jessica Alexander and Sienna King. Director Rob Marshall, producer John DeLuca, composer Alan Menken and Disney CEO Bob Iger were in attendance as well.
