What comes to mind when you think of Halle Berry? Her transition from a Miss World contestant to a global A-Lister? Her complete domination of the silver screen in the 2000s? Her role as Catwoman in the titular film or Storm in the X-Men movies? Or maybe her historic Oscar win in 2002, when she became the first Black woman to take home the award for Best Actress? Upon hearing her name, you might also think of her prowess on the red carpet, and all the eye-catching dresses she has worn over the years while taking home an Emmy, Golden Globe, and two SAG Awards. The actress has always been a style maven—especially in the first decade of the 21st century—often making it onto the best dressed list thanks to her relationships with Elie Saab and Versace. Of course, it was the former who dressed her in the burgundy dress with a completely sheer bodice for her big Oscar night over two decades ago, a moment still discussed today by the fashion-obsessed. Since then, her style hasn’t changed much. Berry still loves sheer moments as much as she loves sparkle, and when she can’t decide between a low-neck or a high-slit, she isn’t afraid to opt for both. Below, we take a look at the 58-year-old actress’s best red carpet moments over the past 30+ years as we wait to see what she pulls out next.
