Halle Bailey Stuns In Ilkyaz Ozel At The Peabody Awards

Halle Bailey Shines on the Red Carpet

Halle Bailey brought her signature youthful elegance to the 2026 Peabody Awards, lighting up the Los Angeles red carpet in a breathtaking dress from The New Arrivals by Ilkyaz Ozel. The "Little Mermaid" star turned heads in the Obsidian dress, a stunning maxidress crafted in black with a body-hugging silhouette, halter neckline, and a daring cutout beneath the bust.

“The Little Mermaid actress wore the Obsidian dress in chez castel for the red carpet occasion.”

The dress's formfitting bodice featured a peplum detail that added extra dimension, while an A-line skirt below provided a touch of classic elegance. Bailey's stylist, Byron Javar, completed the look with delicate Panorama earrings by Fope, complemented by a chic necklace, bracelet, and ring. Her hair was styled in an elegant updo, and her makeup featured bold brows, lined eyes, and a glossy lip.
