South Africa’s fashion designer to the stars Gert-Johan Coetzee has done it again; making a beautiful splash at The Little Mermaid’s Blue Carpet Premiere.

 

Global (10 May, 2023) — The creative flair behind some of South Africa’s most breathtaking looks regularly extends his magic to global stars too. His latest red carpet run (or blue carpet, in this case) saw a Gert-Johan Coetzee gown adored for Disney’s ‘The Little Mermaid’ premiere.

In striking yellow, star Chloe Bailey dubbed herself “the flounder to her Ariel” referencing her sister Halle Bailey who stars as Ariel in the upcoming film.

Few have ever dared to make flounder a muse, and we think the assignment couldn’t have been pulled off any better.

Gert-Johan shared that the gown was custom-made from the ‘GERT Following The Sun Collection’, adding this look to the designer’s ever-growing list of stars dressed in his proudly South African couture.

Beyond queen Chloe, Coetzee has dressed everyone from pageant sweethearts to reality stars, singers and even Oprah Winfrey.
