Halle Berry Means Business in Pin-striped Suit, Talks Menopause Research
Halle Berry suited up for Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit in Laguna Niguel, Calif. on Tuesday. The Oscar-winning actress discussed her Respin brand, shared her menopausal journey and advocated for more medical research.
For the occasion, Berry opted for a pin-striped suit with gold detailing. The suited look featured tailored trousers and a coordinated blazer with sharp, angular lapels. Gold buttons were fastened to the cuffs of the blazer, which Berry used as inspiration for the rest of her accessories.

Berry selected bold gold pieces, including bracelets, rings, and a statement necklace, along with delicate earrings. She added a pair of pointed-toe pumps to complete the look.
For her hair and makeup, Berry styled her bob with waves and opted for a glossy lip.
While attending Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit, the “Never Let Go” star opened up about her own menopausal journey. “I realized that my own doctor didn’t really understand what was happening with my menopausal body,” Berry said.
“I realized that the reason I didn’t know is because doctors only have a chapter in medical school of education; only 13 percent of doctors are NAMS certified or understand the menopausal body … and I started to go, ‘There’s a problem here,'” Berry said. “I dug a little more and I found out there’s no money. The NIH doesn’t fund menopause research. It goes to many other great, amazing issues, but menopause has been historically left out, as if it’s not a thing.”
Berry used her platform over the course of the last several months to advocate for research on menopause. Last May, the actress and Respin founder suited up in Roberto Cavalli in Washington D.C., where she joined legislators from the Capitol to spotlight the need for menopause research. In March, Berry attended A Day of Unreasonable Conversation, where she spoke about her experience with menopause and perimenopause.
