Chlöe Bailey Loves Her Big Butt, Thank You Very Much

Chlöe Bailey is two people. No, we’re not confusing her with sister Halle Bailey — we’re talking about her on- and off-stage personas. “When I’m [not performing], I’m a bubbly, corny, clumsy person,” Chlöe tells Allure during her cover interview for the June/July Melanin Edit issue. “But when the lights turn on, something just happens. I’m somebody else.”

These dual personalities of Chlöe’s don’t share a whole lot — one’s reserved and sweet, one is unashamedly sensual with a forceful presence — but they do have one key thing in common: a positive body image. Though her on-stage persona might give off that unpenetrable boss vibe, Chlöe knows that even her alter ego can’t be perfect, and that’s OK. “We’re not all supposed to be perfect, like bad bitch and confident all the time,” she told Allure. “We have different layers, ebbs and flows to our lives. It would be completely unfair for me to portray myself to the world like I have no problems. Because I do.”
