Halle Berryhas beenpulling off red carpet-level looks in her own backyard. So it’s no surprise the multi-hyphenate star delivered a serious style flex for her return to the Academy Awards on Sunday night.
Berrylast presented at the Oscars in 2017, with another truly show-stopping style moment. She wore a sheer, sparkling, one-shoulder Atelier Versace gown, but thecornerstone of her look was her natural curls. (In fact, Google searches for her name spiked 1,350 percent that year.)
For many, the star’s most memorable look is likely the Elie Saab gown she wore to the 2002 Academy Awards. Berry arrived in the sweeping burgundy design featuring a sheer bodice with floral embroidery.

While dress was a jaw-dropper (and arguably put designer Saab on the map), even more exciting was her historical win that night. Berry took home the Best Actress statue for her role inMonster’s Ball— and making history as the first ever Black woman to win a Best Actress in a Leading Role Oscar category.
