Halle Baileyturned up the volume for her latest red carpet appearance.
“So that was the vibe tonight, and I thought it was going to be way colder in New York, but it’s not, it’s hot,” Bailey said with a laugh as she fanned her face.
She is more about dressing for function over fashion, telling PEOPLE she is “all about being comfortable.” Bailey planned to take off her Jimmy Choo Max Platform heels when the red carpet was over, she said.

Halle certainly knows how to make a statement on the red carpet. She and her older sisterChloe Baileyhave been walking red carpets together for years, and Chloe, 25, admitted to PEOPLE last month thatthey rely on each otherto help keep their cool and composure.
“I’m so happy when sis and I go to a red carpet together so we can hold each other’s hands, because it’s quite overwhelming to have people with cameras yelling at you with a bunch of lights flashing,” she explained. “It’s flattering, because we’re happy that they care to see us and what we’re wearing, but it’s overwhelming.”
Though they sometimes grapple with nerves, the sisters said getting glammed up for a night in the spotlight gives them an instant confidence boost. “You feel like a fresh new woman,” Halle said.

The “Ungodly Hour” singer recently toldCosmopolitanthat it took her a while to hit her stride when it comes to her style. “I’m definitely not a natural,” she revealed in the magazine’s September cover story. “I look back at some of my pictures on the red carpet and laugh.”
“But as I’m getting older and my body is changing, I’m learning who I am,” Halle continued. “I want to be sexy. I want to feel good. I want to wear clothes that embrace where I am in life.”
She credits Chloe for helping her find her way with fashion and be more confident in taking risks with her outfits. “My confidence has gotten deeper and bigger with the help of my sister,” she said of Chloe. “She’s always been an extroverted, sexy, demanding kind of presence.”
“As I’ve watched her, I’m like, ‘That’s so cool,’ ” she added. “I hope one day I can do that. She’s helping me find my footing in this whole adult-woman world.”

Halle also told PEOPLE she enjoys experimenting more now that she’s left her teenage years behind and “matured more.”
“I’m more comfortable with wearing more form-fitting things and embracing my curves now,” she explained.
