The stars aligned under the sea for the world premiere of The Little Mermaid. Go inside for the blue carpet flicks of Halle Bailey, Offset on daddy duties with his daughters, Kelly Rowland, Anika Noni Rose and more …
Last night, Hollywood’s brightest stars gathered on the red carpet for the world premiere of Disney’s highly anticipated live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid. Among them was Halle Bailey, who is set to star as Ariel in the film.
The singer/actress made quite an entrance, looking every bit the part of a real-life mermaid in a stunning iridescent gown by Valdrin Sahiti and Jimmy Choo sandals. The gown, which appeared to be an optical illusion dress, perfectly complemented Halle’s radiant beauty and brought to life the enchanting magic of the underwater world.
PERFECTION!

We love it.
Offset was on daddy duty with his daughters, Kalea Marie (8) and Kulture Kiari (4). The trio looked as excited as ever, with Offset’s daughters wearing matching outfits inspired by the beloved Disney princesses.
The girls, who looked every inch the princesses in black-and-white dresses adorned with flowers and tulle and red hair, were beaming with excitement as they walked the red carpet alongside their doting father, who was dressed in a princely, Michael Jackson-inspired white jacket and black slacks that matched his daughters’ outfits.
Although Cardi B did not attend the premiere, she shared a heartwarming video of Kulture getting prepped for the photo shoot, where she can be heard coaching her daughter on how to pose for the pictures.

Breathtaking.
Aww.
The Little Mermaid premiere was a family affair for Tia and Tamera Mowry, who brought along their adorable daughters to the star-studded event. Tia’s daughter Cairo, 5, and Tamera’s daughter Ariah, 7, looked picture-perfect in matching lilac tulle ensembles, while their proud moms (Tamera in Marchesa) posed with them on the blue carpet. A few days ago, Cairo celebrated her 5th birthday.

Twitter wouldn’t be Twitter without discourse and think pieces behind Kyla Pratt’s red carpet look. Laugh, or don’t. But I promise, it’s not that deep. We love Kyla. Always have. Always will.
