Halle Bailey recently returned to the red carpet after welcoming into the world her first child. It was her first appearance since the actress, who played Ariel in The Little Mermaid, gave birth in December. She was dressed perfectly for the event in a beautiful white corset gown. The occasion itself was the Black Music Collective’s 2024 Recording Academy Honors, which took place in Los Angeles.
Halle Bailey Returned to the Red Carpet
The dress that Halle Bailey wore was designed by Mach & Mach. It featured a molded scoop-neck bustier, semitranslucent sequins, and a cinched waist. The actress wore her hair in braids, and the elegant updo was done by stylist Nichole Goodman. She was also covered in diamonds, while a sapphire choker, spiral stud earrings, and some cocktail rings completed her look.
Halle Bailey appeared on the red carpet accompanied by her longtime boyfriend, Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., known professionally as DDG. The rapper wore clothes contrasting Bailey’s white dress. He wore an all-black ensemble with a pleated double-breasted jacket, Prada loafers, leather gloves, and sunglasses.
Bailey Welcomed Her First Child
The first child of the young parents was a son named Halo. Bailey announced his birth on Instagram with a photo of his tiny hand in hers. She was also wearing a gold bracelet with an engraving of his name. The actress remarked that although she was writing a few days into the new year, she wanted to say that the greatest thing 2023 brought her was her son.
Bailey gained prominence for her amazing performances and vocal abilities. While she played the iconic Ariel in Disney’s live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid, she is also well-known for her part in the R&B duo Chloe x Halle. The two sisters are widely recognized for their beautiful, soulful harmonies and dynamic stage presence.
