The Little Mermaid's Halle Bailey wows in white shell-themed gown at UK premiere
The Little Mermaid star Halle Bailey looked absolutely mesmerising as she arrived in style for the hotly-anticipated Disney movie's UK premiere in London.
Stepping out at the Odeon Luxe Cinema in Leicester Square, the 23-year-old actress stayed true to theme in a gorgeous white seashell-inspired gown.
The number was absolute perfection with its dazzling diamonte detailing throughout and featured a deep plunge down the middle.
Halle, who will soon be taking over the box office as Ariel in a live version adaptation of the Disney classic, enhanced her eye-catching look with a matching headpiece and glamorous silver drop earrings, which perfectly framed her striking features.
The star couldn't wipe the smile away from her face as she posed away at the sea-themed British premiere of The Little Mermaid, which is set to hit cinemas globally by the end of the month.

Speaking to People Magazine ahead of the event, Halle said: "I hope that [Black girls] know they are worthy and we deserve to be in these spaces.
"And I hope that they see themselves in me on the screen. I'm just grateful to be here."
The success has been a long time coming for Halle, whose casting was first announced in July 2019, and, unfortunately, prompted a barrage of vile racist comments towards her on social media.

She said: "I had a private conversation with Beyonce, who told me not to read the comments on any social media I post.
"It's kind of sad — but very good advice for your mental health.
"I started in the industry so young that mental health has always been something I have tried to prioritise."
Halle and her older sister Chloe have a special friendship with icon Beyonce, who offered them a record deal with her record label Parkwood Entertainment after seeing them cover one of her songs on YouTube.
