Halle Bailey looked every inch the red-carpet royalty she is at the 55th Annual NAACP Awards on Saturday night.
The Little Mermaid star made her grand arrival at Los Angeles’s Shrine Auditorium in a glorious rich emerald-green gown by Nicole + Felicia Couture. The striking centerpiece featured a sharp plunging sweetheart neckline; a structured bodice that resembled butterfly wings, adorned with decorative pleats that formed rosettes on each bust; pleated drapery details along the hips; and a sweeping subtle mermaid skirt that completely covered her shoes. Bailey let the gorgeous dress speak for itself, pairing it simply with diamond string drop earrings and several diamond rings. She glammed up with pretty, rosy makeup, complete with berry blush, purply-pink shimmery eye shadow, a glossy soft-pink lip, and a gem-adorned manicure, and wore her hair down and back behind her.

The “Angel” songstress walked the carpet with her boyfriend, rapper DDG, who looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo, matching dress shoes, and diamond stud earrings. The two welcomed their first child, a son named Halo, in January.

Bailey was fittingly dressed like a winner: She ascended the stage with the rest of the cast of The Color Purple cast to accept the award for Outstanding Motion Picture.
The actor and singer has been delivering stunning red-carpet looks all award season long. Earlier this month, she stepped out at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in a daring semi-sheer black lace dress that featured long sleeves with built-in gloves. Last month, she glowed at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in a strapless merlot-red mermaid gown.
