In a recent appearance, Halle Berry shocked fans by wearing the same dress she had worn to the Oscars 22 years ago. The now 58-year-old actress made history as the first Black woman to win Best Actress at the prestigious awards show in 2002, and she had donned the iconic Elie Saab gown for her acceptance speech.
The maroon dress was a stunning piece, featuring a mesh torso with intricate floral embroidery and a silk taffeta skirt. And now, over two decades later, Halle chose to revive the ensemble for a special occasion - the fashion house's 1,001st season celebration. As she stepped out in the same outfit, she couldn't help but reflect on the powerful moment when she first wore it at the Oscars.
Taking to Instagram, Halle shared her thoughts on the dress and its significance in her life. She wrote, "There are some moments in life that just happen and they change our lives forever! Winning an Academy Award in my Elie Saab gown was one of those moments for me. Thank you, Mr. Saab, for being a part of the tapestry of my life as we have been inextricably connected for 22 years now! It was my honor to celebrate you and your 1001 seasons."
The actress looked just as radiant and elegant as she did 22 years ago, and fans couldn't help but gush over her timeless beauty. Social media was flooded with comments and compliments, with one Reddit user writing, "Wow, is she glowing. She looks like she's been working out! I never thought that dress would be timeless, but here she is, proving me wrong and looking super classy with a sheer dress."
Even fellow celebrities couldn't contain their admiration for Halle's appearance. Kerry Washington simply commented, "Iconic," while others praised her for aging gracefully and not losing her charm. Halle's secret? Some believe she may have discovered the fountain of youth, but the actress credits her healthy lifestyle and regime, which includes a combination of vitamins, supplements, and temperature therapy to reduce inflammation.
In a recent interview with Marie Claire, Halle shared her thoughts on aging, saying, "Age is just a number that they stick on us at birth. I feel like I'm now at the pinnacle." And as she approaches her 60s, the actress feels happier and stronger than ever before.
However, amidst all the celebration, Halle couldn't help but address a lingering disappointment. She remains the only Black woman to have won the Academy Award for Best Actress, and it's a fact that continues to sadden her. "I'm still eternally miffed that no Black woman has come behind me for that Best Actress Oscar," she shared. "I'm continually saddened by that year after year. And it's certainly not because there has been nobody deserving."
Halle's historic win still stands as a powerful moment in Hollywood, but she hopes to see more diversity and representation in the future. As she continues to make waves in the industry, the actress encourages others to share their stories and celebrate their achievements.
