Halle Bailey, Chloe Bailey embrace the mermaid-core trend with their dresses at the 3rd Annual Give Her FlowHERS Awards Gala at The Beverly Hilton on Nov. 8, 2024 in Los Angeles, Calif. — Halle Bailey, Chloe Bailey at the 3rd Annual Give Her FlowHERS Awards Gala at The Beverly Hilton on Nov. 8, 2024 in Los Angeles, Calif.

She accessorized with two dainty necklaces and kept her look minimal with a soft smoky eye and berry lips for a pop of color.

Chlöe embraced the office-siren trend with a structured ensemble by the Zaks. Her blazer-style dress, similar to Halle’s, featured a plunging neckline. The light gray blazer dress boasted textural elements, with scale-like detailing from elbow to wrist, resembling gills or feathers.

She completed the look with a sheer skirt that echoed the arm details, featuring a three-dimensional, shimmering scale effect fanning out in all directions at the hem. Chloe styled her hair up and opted for a makeup style that matched her sister’s.

The mermaid trend saw an influx in popularity with Halle Bailey starred as Ariel in the live action “The Little Mermaid” film last year. The whimsical style trend is characterized by shimmering fabrics, scale-like details and ocean-inspired colors. It includes a variety of styles, from shimmering bralettes and lace-up tops to iridescent slip dresses and scalloped gowns.

The trend has seen a resurgence, with Zuhair Murad dipping into the mermaid-core trend for the designer’s spring 2025 collection.
