Academy Awards

The **Academy Awards**, better known as the **Oscars**, are awards for artistic and technical merit for the American film industry.

On March 27, 2022, Halle Bailey made her debut at the 94th annual year, where she presented the award for Best Animated Feature Film (*Encanto*). It happened to coincide with her 22nd birthday, where she shared the stage with Lily James and Naomi Scott, who also played princesses on the big screen—Snow White and Jasmine, respectively. She wore a custom-made Roberto Cavalli asymmetrical draped evening gown in turquoise silk Georgette with a thigh-high slip up the side.

On March 12, 2023, she attended their 95th year as a presenter, accompanied with her younger brother, Branson Bailey, on the carpet. That night she unveiled the official film trailer alongside Melissa McCarthy for *The Little Mermaid*. She wore a Dolce & Gabbana turquoise dress paired with a De Beers diamond necklace and earrings, inspired to "go into the fairytale world." *Vogue* detailed, "Her strapless dress was made of a frothy sheer tulle and featured a structured corset at the bodice to give it shape." She later attended the Vanity Fair 95th Oscars Party with Chloe Bailey and DDG.
