Before the Grammy nominations, the movie roles, and the viral moments, Chloe x Halle were just two sisters from Mableton, Georgia, chasing a dream. Long before Beyoncé signed them to Parkwood Entertainment or they starred on “Grown-ish,” the Bailey sisters were already out here — singing, acting, and hitting red carpets with a calm confidence that made you do a double-take.

Over the years, fans have watched Chloe x Halle go from YouTube cover queens to charting artists, fashionistas, and breakout stars in their own right. Whether it's Chloe owning her solo music era or Halle making a splash as Ariel in The Little Mermaid, their glow-up has been steady and well-earned. But the receipts have always been there. So, we dug into the archives and pulled out 16 moments that prove Chloe x Halle have been “those girls” from the jump.

Only a few artists can say they shared a stage with Michelle Obama and Chloe x Halle did just that in 2016. The sisters got the ultimate co-sign when Obama gave them a warm hug at the White House Easter Egg Roll. It was one of many “pinch me” moments they handled with grace and calm.
