The Tribe star wore an off-shoulder bralette that featured fine beadwork. The golden centre-heart piece decorating her neckline amplified the mermaid-fantasy look. Her high-waist skirt followed a mermaid silhouette, bunching at the knees and flaring out at the bottom to resemble a tail.

The intricate beadwork is mesmerising. Green beads gave a serene colour variation in the pink, golden and beige colour palette. The oceanic palette echoed in her skirt as well, tying the mermaid look well with grace. The skirt was heavily embellished with sequins, and beads to capture a gradient effect, transitioning from pink to beige.

The underwater aquatic princess theme was even more evident as she finished the look with a dainty tiara. Her hair was styled in dramatic, beachy waves that perfectly complemented the mermaid-inspired ensemble. Alanna's pearl earrings were the cherry on top of her ethereal look.

For her, stories exist in flesh and bones, carried by human vessels and shaped through everyday endeavours. It is the small stories we live and share that make us human. After all, humans and their lores are the most natural and raw repositories of stories, and uncovering them, for her, is akin to peeling an orange under a winter afternoon sun.
