Halle Bailey was one of the guests of honor at Variety’s star-studded Power of Young Hollywood event, and she dressed up for the part. The singer and actress attended the August 11th magazine gala in Los Angeles beaming in a white August Getty Atelier gown. Bailey is one of four rising stars. honored with a cover for the annual Diversity magazine issue, and the rest of the list includes Angus CloudBecky G, and Brooklyn Peltz Beckham.
Bailey’s elaborate outfit consisted of a floor-length racerback dress in shiny satin. The dress is reminiscent of 90s Calvin Klein designs, as well as Jennifer Lawrence‘S memorable red dress at the 2011 Oscars, incidentally, also by Calvin Klein. Bailey dressed up with a double-strand diamond necklace, emerald-cut earrings and two rhinestone rings, one of which resembled a feather. Her shoes were metal high-heeled sandals that obscured her view during the evening. When entering the party, Bailey carried a silver metal box clutch.
The minimalist look is vastly different from the striking surreal outfit she wore on the aforementioned Variety cover, which included a green Joanna Prazmo bra and skirt with architectural hips. Bailey wrote on Instagram when she shares the news. The editorial feels like a modern mermaid, befitting of the Bailey era stars like Ariel in Disney’s upcoming live-action retelling of “The Little Mermaid,” due out next year.
