Halle Bailey dazzled in black gold at the 2024 ESPY Awards on Thursday in Los Angeles.

The “Little Mermaid” star donned an embellished minidress from Raisa Vanessa’s fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection. Spotlighted by a scalloped corset, the dress cinched at her waist is a nod to the timeless beauty of the Victorian era.  Altogether it created a flattering silhouette while the hemline, just above her knees, made way for the elegance and allure on her feet.

Bailey selected black strappy sandals to ground her look. Characterized by long straps that securely wrap around the ankle and up the leg, this style has become a beloved footwear option, especially when paired with shorter dresses and silhouettes that highlight the legs. These sandals can be found with a variety of heel heights, offering versatility for different occasions and preferences. During the warmer months, strappy sandals become a staple shoe, providing both style and comfort.
