Disney Live Action Little Mermaid Casts Halle Bailey as Ariel!
BREAKING DISNEY MOVIE NEWS: Disney Live Action Little Mermaid Casts Halle Bailey as Ariel! This is not a test. This is a full blown announcement that Halle is about to be King Triton’s daughter!
Disney Live Action Little Mermaid Casts Halle Bailey as Ariel
Say WHAT??! Yes, hold onto your fins everyone! Disney is reporting that after numerous rumors they have officially selected Miss Bailey for the role. For quite a bit Disney fans’ whispering spread that Zendaya might be up for the Disney character princess. With the Marvel Far From Home actress also choosing to rock gorgeous locks of red hair lately; it only added to the rumor mill.
However, today all of that changed. Bailey took to social media platform, Twitter, in order to share the BIG Hollywood news. In a simple tweet the cat was let out of the bag with the words: “Dream Come True.” Along with a pic of the famous Ariel princess looking a tad bit more infused with “melanin.”
Immediately, fans had tons of reactions. Including a sweet message from Zendaya herself stating, “Yeeeessss!! Here for thiiiissss!!” It looks like as of now for the most part everyone is simply excited about this selection. Here are some of their remarks:
“Yes Queen Can’t Wait to Be Part of Your World!”
“Yessssssssssssssssss.”
“You’ll be perfect as Ariel!”
“7 year old and 22 year old me are screaming and crying we going under sea mama.”
“Nothing left to say!!”
“PERIODT!!”
“Girl we LUV Y’all o my God I am so happy.”
“We Stan!”
“Congratulations!!! Ariel is my favorite Disney princess and you are going to absolutely crush it.”
“THIS. But with red dreads.”
“So Proud.”
“Please have red hair. Like Rihanna red.”
“We are so excited for this! Congrats!”
“A Queen Doing As she Should.”
“You finna snap.”
“Some of them mad. Saying Ariel is redhead, as if people cannot dye hairs. Congrats.”
Disney Live Action Little Mermaid Casts Halle Bailey as Ariel (Continued)
There is always a negative Nelly out there (LOL). As mentioned, so far it has been mainly kind accolades for Halle Bailey; however, there are some who have already expressed their displeasure.
Should Disney be afraid of this casting move? Well, by the looks of things they are boldly moving forward regardless. Sources are stating that from the very beginning Disney wanted to make The Little Mermaid Live Action cast as diverse as possible.
This is not necessarily a bad move. In the past known as the 90’s; singer Brandy was cast as Cinderella with the great Whitney Houston being her godmother. Those castings did not prevent that TV adaptation of Cinderella from being uber-popular; or dare we say iconic?
Furthermore, in recent times Disney is raking in TONS of money with their live action Aladdin film. If you recall the Genie was originally Robin Williams, but in the modern era is played by Will Smith. Thus, proving that a race change may not necessarily spell out box office disaster. Regardless, of what some may say.
Final Details
Do you know Halle Bailey? Well, just in case the next couple of sentences will get you up to speed! She is apart of a musical duo group known as Chloe x Halle (Chloe is her big sis BTW); who was discovered by the one and only Queen Bey, Beyonce.
Besides, singing Halle also has already demonstrated her acting chops. She currently is a series regular on hit TV show, Grownish starring Yara Shahidi. Therefore, Bailey already possesses the resume to back up her upcoming big screen role.
She can sing beautifully; she can act. This live action is looking like a true blockbuster! Moreover, as of known details regarding the film are a little sketch. So far Melissa McCarthy, Jacob Tremblay and Awkwafina have also been tapped for Little Mermaid roles. Rob Marshall will be directing the script which was written by David Magee. As more details pour in we will update you guys!

Maison Margiela Mutiny Ad Campaign Starring Willow Smith-NEW Fragrance!
Seems just like yesterday she was whipping her hair, but Willow is all grown up, and has never ever lost her own personal flair and style. Such individuality keeps Willow at the forefront of the young entertainment circle. At the tender age of 17, Smith already has other fashion house achievements under her belt; however, now the starlet can add yet another. Get ready to be even more proud of your offspring Mr. Will smith, because Willow is starring in the NEW Maison Margiela Mutiny Ad Campaign!
Maison Margiela Mutiny Ad Campaign Starring Willow Smith-NEW Fragrance
What is Mutiny? It is the new fragrance being released by couture label, Maison Margiela. The scent notes and ad campaign is taking aim at helping women to celebrate diversity. Furthermore, the campaign includes a comprehensive list of edgy stars such as Willow Smith, Sasha Bianca Lane as well as Princess Nokia.
Honestly, we haven’t witnessed this type of fragrance buzz since the days of Calvin Klein. Mutiny is a whiff of youthful appeal that is not always present in more recent, modern campaigns. Therefore, it certainly makes it an updated take on a timeless classic as well as standard model of perfumes.
Visionary Fabien Baron had the immense task of creating stunning visuals for the new Mutiny fragrance. He succeeded. Moreover, regarding his involvement with the campaign, as well as its release he states,
“Directed by me and debuting at the Maison Margiela SS19 [Spring/Summer 2019] runway show. Thank you John Galliano [and] Lexy Roche for giving us the freedom to break the rules. Also, to the amazing cast. And finally to L’Oreal Beauty For All and Guillaume de Lesquen for the support on this adventure. Bravo on an amazing show John Galliano.”
Maison Margiela Mutiny Ad Campaign Starring Willow Smith-NEW Fragrance (Continued)
Nevertheless, what about the fragrance itself? What can lovers of luxurious scents expect? Well, Maison Margiela did not leave its consumers and fans in the dark about their newest release. In regards to Mutiny, the brand says,
“The flacon of Mutiny is created through the process of decortique, deconstructed to expose its essential frame: a gold-tinted juice, the essence of rebellion. Mutiny transpires from inside, multi-faceted in structure and creed. It represents the individuality and diversity of every Mutinist. As unprecedented leathery accord created with safran, oud and vanilla transforms the character Mutiny.
Tuberose, traditionally associated with a strong sense of femininity, is reduced to its powerful core: flower leather, the multi-faceted essence of tuberose. Mutiny the new fragrance by Maison Margiela out now.”
Maison Margiela Mutiny Ad Campaign -Willow and Sasha Speak Out
So what are the stars of the Mutiny campaign saying and talking about this project? Recently, both Willow Smith and Sasha Bianca Lane spoke out about what the Mutiny campaign really means for them.
“Everybody’s looking for a reason. For me, that reason is to create. I think this generation… we’re willing to endure pain in order to do what we love. Feminity, it’s like water: I can break rock, I’m that strong, but I can move with harmony. We want something more and something spiritual, even.”
-A Quote from Willow Smith as she Posed for Mutiny Campaign
“Mutiny. It’s been TRULY an HONOR to be apart of this amazing project as it allows us as girls to truly define our own femininity. Our own selves. Thanks to Maison Margiela Fragrances.
-Sasha Lane
So then, are you ready for a Mutiny? The fragrance is available now for purchase and it currently retails for $115.

Halle Berry Slays MTV Movie Awards 2016 in LBD
When it comes to style Halle Berry can do no wrong! Halle recently broke social media by starting a personal twitter and Instagram account. Fans loved her aesthetic for the gram, but kept requesting that Berry show her lovely face instead of just nature shots. This past Saturday Halle Berry definitely gave the people what they wanted and then some. The insanely beautiful actress decided to shut down the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards 2016 in a sexy LBD (little black dress). Halle Berry looked absolutely fabulous in a Noam Hanoch dress with jewels (rings) by Sylva and Cie. The cut-out and lace details highlighted Berry’s killer bod and shape.
Black was definitely a trend at the MTV Movie Awards 2016. Several other actresses and models wore the classic tint as well. We spotted Nischelle Turner in a black Roberto Cavalli jumpsuit accessorized with shoes by Giuseppe Zanotti.
Halle Berry wasn’t the only one looking good and feeling good at the MTV Movie Awards 2016 ceremony. Queen Latifah, Will Smith (sons Trey and Jaden too), The Rock, Tyrese Gibson and Kevin Hart were all having good times. Hart and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson were on hosting duty for the show. While Queen Latifah and Halle Berry presented Will Smith with the Generation award. Smith was honored for his outstanding television and film career as well as activism for diversity in Hollywood.
Hair Notes: As of late, Berry has had several spottings without her signature crop cut. Although we absolutely love her with next to no hair, we are loving her blonde highlighted tresses right now! The color and length is a refreshing look for Halle.

Fashionable Mention: Spring 2015 Valentino Floral Menswear Pants
Actor Will Smith made quite a stir with his Valentino floral pants when he attended the Valentino fashion show during Paris Fashion Week. The pants are from the Spring 2015 collection, but Smith made the look even fashionable now! He paired the pants with a purple scarf and green solid green leather jacket. If the man in your life isn’t shy with his style choices then stepping things up with a print could be a chic choice for him to enjoy. However, if he chooses to indulge in this look make sure he takes a page from Will Smith’s book and keeps the rest of the ensemble more conservative (i.e. solid colors).
