Halle Bailey wears a black Alex Perry dress with asymmetric draping and a thigh-high slit at NYFF
Halle Bailey flaunts toned legs in a sleek black Alex Perry leather and jersey gown at the NYFF. For the premiere, Bailey wore a black one-shoulder gown from Alex Perry’s Pre-Fall 2026 collection. The floor-length design featured a soft leather bodice with a straight neckline, paired with a contrasting jersey drape that cascaded diagonally across her body. The jersey moved fluidly with her, while the leather added structure to the bodice. The actress embraced one of Perry’s more dramatic looks for the occasion.
The asymmetric strap gave the silhouette a modern edge, while the gown itself retails for $2,800 USD. The Australian label is known for sleek, body-conscious evening wear, and this gown fit right in.
Things became even more dramatic with the slit. The thigh-high opening ran up the front of the skirt, adding a contrast to the fitted, floor-length silhouette. Furthermore, the monochrome black palette kept all the attention on the textures and cut.
Bailey’s accessories brought a bit of shine to her look. She slipped into black Jimmy Choo Max Platform Sandals with ankle straps and carried a Jimmy Choo Bon Bon Crystal Bag. She added silver hoop earrings, a few rings, and a dark manicure, and Bryon Javar styled the entire look.
Her long, curly hair was styled with caramel highlights and twisted sections swept back from her face. Meanwhile, a glowy base and a soft, glossy lip completed her beauty look.
Bailey shared a few snippets of the look on her Instagram Stories, posting a clip of herself smiling warmly and posing against the NYFF backdrop. In another story, Bailey was seen posing in a marble stairwell beside a gold handrail.
