Chloe Bailey, who now just goes by Chlöe, practically grew up in the public eye and we've eagerly watched her every move. Her metamorphosis has been a marvel, with one overarching theme: that Black women can evolve and love who they are exactly for who they are. We first met the now 24-year-old as one-half of the sister singing duo Chloe x Halle (and she rides hard for her sibling--especially as Halle faced racist trolls in horrifying numbers after it was announced that she would be cast as Ariel in next year’s live action remake of The Little Mermaid.) But it's been in 2022 that Chlöe has truly made her mark, putting us all on notice that she has fully embraced her sexier side. Her evolution hasn't come without its fair share of online bullying. “Social media, it’s such a love-hate thing; you’re constantly comparing yourself online with other people but I’m not changing for anyone,” she told Taraji P. Henson during her Facebook Watch series Peace of Mind With Taraji. What the haters couldn’t stop her from, though, is being in her bag. The multi-talented star recently nabbed her first film role in AGC Studios’ upcoming Wall Street drama Midas Touch. And this year's solo releases like “Treat Me” and “Surprise” were viral hits. Her final flourish: winning her first award as a solo artist at the 2022 MTV EMA Awards, proving what we already knew–Chlöe’s reign has only just begun.
