These Photos Prove Halle Berry Has Barely Aged Over The Years
These Photos Prove Halle Berry Has Barely Aged Over The Years
Halle Berry must have found the elixir of youth, because her rockin' body and beautiful skin have not aged. The John Wick: Chapter 3-Parabellum actress has changed her hairdos countless times over the years, but that’s the only signifier of the times.
At 52 (yes, my jaw is on the floor, too), Halle doesn’t look a day over 25. Just scroll through these photos of her over the years and you will be convinced the former Catwoman possesses anti-aging superpowers.
Where It All Began
As Halle pointed out on her Instagram, the Miss World competition of 1986 is where it all began. The Cleveland, Ohio, native won Miss Ohio that same year and was first runner-up at Miss USA. She placed sixth at Miss World at the age of 20. The sequins and high hair are definitely a good look for her.
Halle's First Acting Cred
When most people think "Halle Berry," they think of that iconic short pixie cut. The first iteration of a shorter style appeared in 1989 in her first acting credit as Emily Franklin in Living Dolls, a spin-off of Who’s The Boss?
Abs Of Steel
The actress has kept that figure for three decades, NBD. But hey, if you want to know her secret, she's shared her entire abs routine on Instagram.
All Smiles
Ugh, Halle's smile is just radiant. This 1990 picture with Eartha Kitt shows her in a stunning pale yellow corset dress.
Red Carpet Beauty
Halle almost looks unrecognizable in this 1990 photo! The velvet, high-neck dress shows off her curves, and the simple makeup keeps the focus on her knockout body.
Fringe, Fringe, Fringe
No one can pull off a fringed leather jacket and huge hoop earrings like Halle. It’s an outfit she donned in the 1991 film The Last Boy Scout, in which she acted alongside Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans.
Artful Arms
Look. At. Those. Arms. Halle still shows off those biceps, which she probably scored from all that boxing.
That's So '90s
If there was ever such a 1993 accessory, it is that hat. Halle definitely pulls it off. You also get a good look at her flawless skin, a trait she still possesses in 2019. If you’re looking for a natural anti-aging trick, try her secret solution: bone broth.
Shine Bright Like A Diamond
It seems Halle likes dresses with straps. The style accentuates her toned arms beautifully, especially the shiny number she wore to the 1995 People’s Choice Awards.
Out Of The Park
MTV’s Rock N’ Jock series brought celebrities and athletes together for a gnarly reality competition. Our girl was there in 1996, and her outfit was a home run. She is sporty. She is posh. She is pretty much every Spice Girl rolled in one.
Hanging With Oprah
There’s that smile again! This time she’s with the legend herself, Oprah. There is so much power in this photo, you can’t look away.
Always Elegant
In 1996, Halle starred in The Rich Man’s Wife. The thriller led her to this elegant dress and curly updo. #Blessed, to say the least.
Late Night Fun With Leno
Interviews with late night TV hosts have always given celebs a chance to be charming and fun. That is what Halle embodies in this 1991 appearance on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno. Is she inventor of the Bend and Snap? Honestly, maybe.
Sexy 1998 Portrait
Red is definitely her color. The seductive hue really amplifies her longing gaze. And I low-key want to have a movie night with Halle on this chair (John Wick 3, anyone?).
An Emmy-Winning Role
Berry took on the role of Dorothy Dandridge, the first African-American woman to be nominated for a Best Actress Oscar, for a 1999 HBO TV movie. Introducing Dorothy Dandridge landed Halle herself an Emmy for Lead Actress.
Au Naturale
What a natural beauty! Halle attended the 1999 premiere of Life starring Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. Even when she’s not the star of the show, she still captures the attention.
Red, White And Beautiful
Roses are red. Violets are blue. Halle Berry, you've always looked like you're 22. She wore this white satin number to a California screening of Introducing Dorothy Dandridge in 1999.
In Full Bloom
Oh, so French! Berry posed in Normandy for an outdoor photo in 1999. Natural light really is the best.
Well-Deserved Wins
Berry took home two NAACP Image Awards in 2000, including Entertainer Of The Year. She stunned attendees in the patterned, form-fitted dress and that persistent pixie.
An Adventurous Look
The MTV Movie Awards are a great place for celebs to try out adventurous, edgy looks. Halle followed suit in 2000 by wearing a brightly colored two-piece complete with fringe. You also get a great look at her toned torso.
That Glow, Though
Look at that glowing skin! Halle knows how to keep it simple, and this photo really shows that off. The basic tank top and relaxed pose make you feel like she’s hanging out with you, talking about your skincare regimens.
Sophistication And Class
There's a more sophisticated feel in this 2001 photo. The black, off-the-shoulder blouse is sexy and classy, and the growing pixie cut is styled perfectly.
Hoops For Days
Halle really loves her hoops, and I understand why. This still from Swordfish presents her as the character Ginger. She acted alongside John Travolta and Hugh Jackman in the 2001 thriller.
Candidly Beautiful
I like to think Halle was caught in a moment of flattery when this photo was taken. She was the honoree at the 2002 Make-A-Wish Foundation Gala. She is a known donor to the organization.
The Bond Girl
The name is Berry. Halle Berry. Yes, the actress was a Bond Girl in the Pierce Brosnan-fronted Die Another Day. The pair was photographed at the premiere in 2002, and she looked as radiant as ever.
Bond Movie Stunner
If the world gets a female-led Bond movie, I want Halle. She rocked this iconic burnt-orange bikini in Die Another Day as Jinx Johnson.
Live From New York
The early 2000s were a time for flowy outerwear (remember gauchos?) and long locks. Halle partook in the trends, and wore this red-and-black combo with a high boot for her monologue while hosting Saturday Night Live in 2003.
Oops...I Stole Britney's Look
Okay, Halle looks more like Britney Spears in this photo than Britney Spears does. That shimmery sequin top and Spanx combo is reminiscent of Britney’s old stage outfits. The singer was the musical guest on the 2003 SNL episode.
A Real Role Model
Halle really is a role model. She was given the Movieline Young Hollywood's Role Model award in 2004, and she was very deserving.
Meow!
There's that famous Catwoman look! Halle sported this sexy costume in the 2004 film, bringing the comic book hero-criminal to life.
Bling It Up
Halle took that simple white tank top look to the next level by adding pizzazz. The bling on the shirt paired with the gold suit is to DIE for. And her long, curly hair and signature hoops really pull the 2004 outfit together.
Film Fest Stylin'
Let the celebrity photos continue. Halle posed with legend Samuel L. Jackson at the 2004 Los Angeles Film Festival. The pair looks absolutely stylish!
No One Looks As Good As Halle
I'm getting major Alicia Keys vibes here. Her powerful pose and the neutral hues were showcased in the TV documentary For The Love of Liberty, which discusses the sacrifices and accomplishments of African-American veterans in the U.S.
A Star Is Honored
Halle became a permanent part of Hollywood when she got her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2007. The installment celebrated her 18 years in the film and TV industry.
Lookin' Fiiine
Look at that coy smile. Halle knows she looks hot in this 2009 photo. The strapless mini dress shows off her fit physique.
All Business
Halle went with a tweed business-like top for the Hollywood Reporter's Annual Women in Entertainment Breakfast in 2009. She also brought the short hair back by popular demand.
Film Festival Stunner
Imagine sitting in the same room and having a conversation with Halle Berry. Well, that’s what she did for the 2010 AFI Fest at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in California. She wore this tight black number, showing off all her hard work in the gym.
Sneak Peek
Halle's body has maintained the look of a 25-year-old. Just ask her trainer. You get a great glimpse of that with the patterned dress with midline peep holes, which she wore to the 2011 NAACP Image Awards.
Back On Late Night
What can I say: Halle looks great in a one-shoulder getup. She wore this to her 2012 appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, and that smokey eye was definitely in style at the time.
Fit And Pregnant
Halle was pregnant with her second child, Maceo, at the 2013 EIF Revlon Run/Walk For Women. But looking at her today, you wouldn’t suspect she’s had two children. She credits much of that to the keto diet, and she even has a preferred cookbook for the best keto recipes.
Out Of This World
Halle acted on the CBS sci-fi thriller Extant for its two-season run starting in 2014. She played an astronaut who changed the course of history on her mission, which isn’t too different from her changing our life as an admirable celebrity.
In Her Element
Speaking of Extant, here’s a still from the second season (2015). We’re used to seeing that coy, red carpet smile, but she’s all business when she's at work. She still looks impeccable in that casual grey tank.
A Definite Touchdown
Halle wore a black, multi-textured dress to present at the 2015 ESPYs. It takes that little black dress look to a new level with sheer, knit and leather fabric. She scored with this look.
She's Got Buns
Halle has been a Revlon spokesperson since the early ’90s. She’s pictured at the company’s annual luncheon with an updo that highlights her coveted facial structure. C’mon, look at those high cheekbones!
Back In Black
I'm getting a “just got off work” vibe with this all-black number. The open blazer showcases a sheer button down that gives way to a lacy bra.
From The Red Carpet
Everyone wants an invite to the Vanity Fair Oscar party, and I'm positive Halle is on the list every year. The actress wore a mosaic-patterned mini dress with a plunging neckline to the star-studded soiree in 2018. With all that carpet strutting, her knees must need some strengthening. Luckily she knows the best low-impact workouts for bad knees.
Showstopping Shimmer
The signature straps. A deep-V neckline. Shimmery sequins. This look has it all! Halle wore it to the 2018 Screen Actors Guild Awards, and she stole the show.
Savage Silhouette
Unconventional silhouettes are trendy, and Halle wears this 2019 look well. The bronze color is subtle, which draws your eye to the intricacies of the beading and flair.
Perfect Presenter
Halle presented Black Panther costume designer Ruth E. Carter with the career achievement award at the Costume Designers Guild Awards. She looks incredibly proud of the designer's work, which is so endearing.
The 'Catwoman' actress definitely has nine lives.
