The 58-year-old actress wore the dress she wore when she won the top film award. Halle Berry proved that her figure has hardly changed.
The Hollywood star appeared at the Elie Saab fashion show in Saudi Arabia. Holly appeared in a dress with a transparent black bodice, decorated with hand embroidery with plant motifs, and a satin floor-length ruby-colored skirt with draping at the hip and a train. The actress had glamorous evening makeup, her hair was gathered into a high elegant hairstyle. She chose drop earrings as her jewelry.
Halle showed off her fresh, blooming look and chiseled figure. It is noteworthy that this outfit from the Lebanese designer Berry appeared in public 22 years ago. The actress chose this dress for the Oscar ceremony in 2002. Then Halle received the statuette for best actress in the film Monster’s Ball. The star from Ohio became the first black woman in the history of cinema to receive the award in this category.
At the time, this dress helped Elie Saab gain fame around the world and became a turning point for Middle Eastern designers in general. The dress was exhibited at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. At the show in Riyadh, the actress walked the runway spectacularly. At that moment, an audio recording was played: “And Halle Berry gets the Oscar.” Then the star sat in the front row. The 60-year-old designer presented his collection called “1001 Seasons of Elie Saab.” The show featured more than 300 outfits.
In between, the stage was filled with A-list stars. Celine Dion performed her hits. The 56-year-old singer wore a pink floor-length dress with a cape, embroidered with sparkling sequins. This was a rare appearance for the artist, who struggles with stiff-person syndrome, an autoimmune disease that causes muscle rigidity.
“Being here for the first time is like a dream come true. And Mr. Elie Saab and his entourage and his wonderful family have welcomed us here – my manager, my son and everyone who supported me so that I could be here.
“He sang with me. He is very generous and talented, I wore his dresses for many, many years. It is one thing to admire Eli’s extraordinary talent, and quite another to meet him, to be with him and have a little chat. For me, it was very touching. So it is just wonderful to be here. It is a great honor for us,” the Daily Mail quotes Celine as saying.
Jennifer Lopez performed her fiery tracks. The 55-year-old singer and actress appeared spectacularly in a silver bodysuit, which favorably emphasized her pumped-up figure.
