Halle Bailey got nostalgic over her baby bump weeks after welcoming her son, Halo.
The “Little Mermaid” star — who never confirmed she was expecting with boyfriend DDG — put her pregnant belly on full display in a throwback video posted to Instagram from her underwater maternity photo shoot.
Bailey channeled her onscreen character Ariel in the clip as she sported a metallic crop top and a low-waist maxi skirt to match.
She also wore a sheer dress, which flowed in the water as she moved her body.
“🧜🏽♀️missing my belly already 💜but i obviously had to do underwater pics 😉,” the singer captioned the video, which featured an unreleased track.
