Halle Bailey’s reported height is about 5 ft 2 in (157 cm). This is a published figure, not a documented independent measurement.
The singer and actress performs with her sister Chloe Bailey as Chloe x Halle and plays Ariel in Disney’s 2023 The Little Mermaid. Her subsequent work includes solo music released as Halle and the 2026 film You, Me & Tuscany.
Where does Halle Bailey’s reported height come from?
Kara Nesvig’s September 7, 2023 Allure article describes Bailey as 5 ft 2 in tall. It gives no measurement method or numerical statement from Bailey herself.
Capital’s profile lists the same figure as 5 ft 2 in (1.57 m), also without a measurement or an attributed self-report. The agreement supports using it as a reported figure; it does not establish a verified barefoot height.
5 ft 2 in converts to 157.48 cm, rounded here to about 157 cm. The conversion does not add precision to the underlying reporting.
The seated event photograph provides context, rather than a way to measure her standing height.
Halle Bailey’s music and film work
Bailey’s work spans the duo Chloe x Halle, solo recordings and acting. The Recording Academy’s masterclass report credits her role as Nettie Harris in The Color Purple and notes that her single “Angel” earned a Best R&B Song nomination at the 2024 GRAMMY Awards.
Her solo album love?… or something like it was released on October 24, 2025, under the name Halle. On screen, she stars in the 2026 romantic comedy You, Me & Tuscany.
For her own account of becoming Ariel, GLAMOUR’s interview covers auditioning at 18 and preparing for swimming and harness scenes. The video is about making The Little Mermaid; the height evidence comes from the reporting above.
