Halle Bailey is living the dream right now. The American actress has been making a splash across the globe with her mermaid-inspired red carpet ensembles to attend premieres for The Little Mermaid - and her angelic fishtail gown at the UK Premiere on Monday night was no exception.
The 23-year-old actress was the belle of the ball as she stepped into the spotlight outside the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square. Halle looked truly enchanting in an iridescent gown complete with a plunging neckline, a shell-like tulle bustline and a glittering backless design.

Channelling her inner Ariel, the star let her hair fall past her waist, elevating her look with a glittering headpiece resembling pearly oyster shells.
