(Disneyland) - Michael Fausto is pleased to announce that actress, Halle Bailey, wore a custom Michael Fausto gown that was seen during her incredible performance of “Part of Your World”, on American Idol’s Disney Night. Additionally, Fausto worked closely with Disney’s creative team, crafting a fantastical set which centered around the mermaid-like gown while cast against the illuminated Sleeping Beauty Castle. Developed exclusively for Ms. Bailey, this custom made ‘‘Aphrodite Gown’ is an exuberant burst of vibrant oceanic blue, cut in a lustrous Italian silk zibeline. The silhouette is reminiscent of the iconic Little Mermaid scene, during “Part of Your World (Reprise)”, where Ariel is singing on the rocks while waves crash behind her. Echoing this moment, the dramatic scallop shell draping envelopes the body and cascades into a trumpet silhouette and grandiose platform. Michael Fausto would like to thank the creative teams at Disney and stylist, Nichole Good, for the exciting opportunity to create this look as well as several others for Halle Bailey to wear throughout The Little Mermaid press tour.
