Chloe x Halle glow in coordinated ensembles as the sisters gush about their unbreakable bond

Burgeoning R&B superstars Chloe x Halle [Bailey] are getting candid about their close knit bond in the cover story of Cosmopolitan’s upcoming October issue – out on September 15.

The sisters, aged 22 and 20 respectively, could pass for twins in coordinating ensembles for the magazine and revealed that they’re so close it feels like they’re ‘missing’ a limb when apart.

The Grammy-nominated duo also discussed the healing power that music has had in ‘the Black community since the beginning of time’ on the heels of their most recent album release.

‘Whenever we’re apart, I feel like my right arm is missing,’ Halle Bailey said of her big sister. ‘I say this all the time: I’m not sure what I would do if I was by myself going through this whole thing.’

Chloe went on to explain that their bond – both a professional and familial one – works because they’re each authentic to themselves.

‘We’re not trying to force anything or purposely construct two different narratives or suffocate the other into one type of way,’ she said. 

The duo, who were discovered by the Queen herself, Beyonce, have been mentored by the A-list talent.

Rising stars in the music industry, Chloe x Halle released their second studio album, Ungodly Hour, back in June in the midst of the pandemic. 

‘Music has been such a healer for the Black community since the beginning of time,’ Halle said of their latest work. 

Adding: ‘Maybe it could help some people distract their minds from quarantine and what’s going on in the world today with hope and positivity.’   

Ungodly Hour has received widespread critical acclaim with reviewers praising their vocal delivery, artistic growth, maturity and the work’s cohesiveness.

The album’s lead single Do It has become their most successful song to date.

Do It peaked at number 83 on the Billboard US Hot 100 chart and also reached number three on the R&B Digital Song Sales chart, making it their first top five hit on that chart.

They recently performed a track off the new album at this month’s MTV Video Music Awards.

The R&B duo performed at the virtual ceremony in futuristic silver ensembles consisting of headpieces, chokers, opera gloves, leotards and thigh high boots, all in an incredibly reflective silver finish. 

'Music has been such a healer for the Black community since the beginning of time,' Halle said of their latest work. 'Maybe it could help some people distract their minds from quarantine and what's going on in the world today with hope and positivity.'

Despite their young age, the sisters carry an air of gravitas both on stage and in their music. 

And, they brought that same sophistication to their end-of-summer themed cover shoot for Cosmopolitan.

The beauties sported complimentary solid colored knit dresses with asymmetrical necklines in camel and black. 

Their braided hair was pulled into knotted updos that weren’t identical but still reflected the other style beautifully.

On the cover of the magazine, the singers channeled the 1950s in small cat eye sunglasses.

In other photos from the shoot, Chloe and Halle posed on yellow lounge chairs in a stylized pool scene wearing matching glittering ensembles. 

The girls have been extremely busy since being plucked by Beyonce and thrown into the public eye and, somehow, have remained remarkably grounded. 

‘Anytime something doesn’t work out, it’s not really healthy to say, “I was the reason it messed up.” I’m still learning that,’ Chloe told Cosmo. ‘I’m learning that your happiness, you can’t put on someone else.’

Sister Halle added: ‘I’ve realized the things that matter to me are my happiness, my family, being around the people I love and keeping my spirit clean with their positive energy.’

Last year, Halle made headlines last year for clinching the coveted role of Ariel in the new live action ‘reimagining’ of 1989’s classic animated film The Little Mermaid. 

Before that, they earned two Grammy Awards nominations for Best New Artist and Best Urban Contemporary Album for their debut album The Kids Are Alright in 2018.
