Halle Bailey was one of the guests of honor at Variety's star-studded Power of Young Hollywood event, and she dressed the part. The singer and actor attended the magazine's soirée on Aug. 11 in Los Angeles looking radiant in a white August Getty Atelier slip dress. Bailey was one of four rising stars honored with a cover [1] for the annual Variety issue, and the rest of the list include Angus Cloud [2], Becky G, and Brooklyn Peltz Beckham [3].
Bailey's sophisticated outfit consisted of a floor-length racerback dress in a shiny satin material. The dress feels reminiscent of '90s Calvin Klein designs, as well as Jennifer Lawrence [4]'s memorable red dress [5] at the 2011 Oscars, which, incidentally, was also Calvin Klein. Bailey accessorized with a two-strand diamond necklace, emerald-cut earrings, and two statement rings, one of them resembling a feather. Her shoes were metallic heeled sandals hidden from view for much of the evening. Once inside the party, Bailey carried a silver metallic box clutch.
The minimalist look greatly differs from the strikingly surreal outfit she wore on the aforementioned Variety cover, which consisted of a green Joanna Prazmo bra-and-skirt set with architectural hip protrusions. "Pinching myself today," Bailey wrote on Instagram [6] when she shared the news. The editorial look felt like a modern take on mermaids, which is fitting since Bailey stars as Ariel [7] in Disney's forthcoming live-action retelling of "The Little Mermaid," due next year.
