Halle Bailey has been repping the mermaidcore aesthetic hard with her red carpet looks as of late. I mean, it's only fitting the IRL Little Mermaid champion the style, especially while on the Disney film's press tour. From the white shell-bustier dress she wore to the UK premiere in London to the metallic gown that looked like actual water, her 'fits have stayed true to theme.
Halle has also given more subtle nods to her character, like when she opted for a ruched black dress from H&M. The look may not have been obvious in its connection, but the sustainable design was made from recycled plastic water bottles – and we all know plastic pollution is a serious threat to the Earth's waters.
Well, it looks like Halle has just worn another under-the-sea-inspired look in her latest social media post.

Taking to Instagram and Twitter, the actress shared a couple of snaps of herself wearing a halterneck turquoise swimsuit with a keyhole cut-out detail. She's sat on a stone stool, but we can glimpse just enough of Halle's torso in the second image to see the swimsuit features further cut-outs on the body.
Halle has layered an orange pleated jacket with puff sleeves and ruching detailing over the top of the swimwear, while dark green lace-up heels with gold embellishments complete the look.
The fact she's wearing beach attire and the turquoise colourway are obvious nods to the ocean, but is anyone else getting coral vibes from her jacket? Stay with us on this one, but the vibrant hue and textured fabrication are really making us think of the frilly coral Ariel often swims through.
Just us?
