Sabrina Elba was a scene in green at UK premiere of “The Little Mermaid” in London on Monday. The star attended the event to support Halle Bailey, who plays Ariel in the upcoming live adaption.
Elba looked stunning as she arrived at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square, donning an olive green dress by Yves Saint Laurent. The eye-catching piece featured a deep plunging V-neckline, thin spaghetti straps, a ruched bodice and a flowy sheer skirt.
To further elevate ensemble, Elba accessorized with oversized statement earrings and a thick gold bangle bracelet. As for glam, the entertainer went with soft makeup and styled her hair in loose curls.
When it came down to the shoes, Elba tied her look together with silver metallic strappy sandals. The silhouette peaked out underneath dress and included a mirrored strap across the toe, a round outsole and was set on a thin stiletto heel.

Elba’s footwear styles are usually bold and sleek. The “Three Thousand Years of Longing” actress often wears strappy heeled sandals and pumps in a range of hues on the red carpet, hailing from brands including Christian Louboutin. In fact, Elba even accompanied Louboutin to the 2022 FNAA’s, and collaborated alongside her husband Idris Elba with the designer on two “Walk a mile in my shoes” capsule collections to benefit multiple nonprofits. She has also been seen in flat sandals and low-top sneakers from brands including Vans, as well.
“The Little Mermaid” is a live-action reboot of Disney’s 1989 Oscar-winning animated film, which is based on the fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen. Starring Halle Bailey as the titular mermaid, the film follows her journey from life under the sea to finding love on land. “The Little Mermaid” also stars Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, Daveed Diggs as Sebastian, and Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric. The live-action movie debuts in theaters on May 26.
