Stars gathered at the Odeon Luxe in Leicester Square on Monday night for the London premiere of Disney’s live-action The Little Mermaid. The area was transformed into an underwater paradise, featuring shells, coral, an aquatic blue carpet, and a band serenading guests on steel drums. Here are our picks for the best-dressed celebs:
Halle Bailey
Halle Bailey, who was revealed to be playing the lead role in 2019, stole the show in this white gown from Miss Sohee. The sweeping dress featured diamond-encrusted panels, mesh sides, and tulle ruffles. She matched the bedazzled straps with her sparkling diamond headpiece and stuck to the under-the-sea theme with some pearl earrings.
AJ Odudu
The TV host looked stunning in this gold metallic bodice from Graham Cruz Studio. She paired it with a maxi skirt with a long slit to show off her gold strappy heels, and she tied everything together with gold jewellery and a black mani-pedi.
Simone Ashley
The Bridgestone actress, who plays one of Ariel’s sisters in the movie, wore this Victoria Beckham FW23 collection dress to the premiere. The nude dress featured many slits and mesh fabric, clearly taking notes from the naked dress trend. She paired it with platform silver heels, gold jewellery, and deep indigo eyeshadow.
Stefflon Don
It was a family outing for Stefflon Don, who brought her nieces and sister to the blue carpet. Styled by our very own Jyoti, Steff and Shemara wore showstopping green and purple matching chiffon dresses from Millia London, with matching chunky crystal necklaces and earrings.
Melissa McCarthy
Melissa McCarthy looked far from her supervillain character Ursula as she walked the red carpet in this hot pink ensemble. The Edwardianstyle maxi dress featured a high-neck collar, puffy sleeves, ruffles, and a train. She accessorised with diamonds from Gismondi and pink iridescent boots with a huge platform.
Sienna King
Playing another of Ariel’s sisters, Sienna attended the premiere in this futuristic ruched dress from the Feben FW23 collection. She paired the dress with a dainty pearl necklace and wore her hair slicked back to let her outfit take the spotlight.
Jourdan Dunn
Jourdan was channelling her inner mermaid with this blue knitted maxi dress, with the woven pattern resembling scales. The semi-transparent dress featured long sleeves, a high slit, and a cut-out neckline adorned with a pearl. She paired the dress with strappy heels and layered necklaces, and wore her hair in beachy waves.
Montanna Brown
Love Island alum Montana attended the premiere with her fiancé, Mark O’Connor, showing off her baby bump in this Rotate Birger Christensen dress. The checkerboard dress featured large cutouts on her midriff and thigh, lace up details, and a bright red interior. She paired it with classic white heels and a white manicure to match.
Sabrina Elba
Attending without her husband, Idris, Sabrina looked stunning in this khaki maxi dress from Saint Laurent. The dress featured spaghetti straps, ruching, and a plunging neckline. She opted for no necklace but added some shine with a large gold bangle and dramatic gold earrings, while keeping it low-key on her feet with some flat sandals.
Nifè
The Tiktok star took the mermaid theme to a whole new level, wearing this insane dress featuring a cream bandeau top, a green and blue puffy train, and ornate gemstone embroidery. The silky dress matched her signature blue hair and brows perfectly, and she accessorised with simple silver jewellery and diamanté heels.
