Halle Bailey, 23 – Ariel from Little Mermaid

Behold the wonder of Halle Bailey. She has made a name for herself as one-half of the Grammy Award-nominated musical duo Chloe x Halle. They both have a special friendship with the queen of pop, Beyonce, who offered them a record deal after they covered one of her songs on YouTube.

In 2023, Halle brought the classic tale of “The Little Mermaid” to life with her mesmerizing performance. Director Rob Marshall aptly remarked on her otherworldly sensibility, and indeed, once you watch her performance, you’ll get why she was cast for the role! Here she is, coming to life as a real-life Disney princess—talk about star power!
