Halle Berry stepped out in a freshly-chopped bob.
Halle Berry Debuts a Transformative Haircut on the Oscars Red Carpet
Generally speaking, an awards show provides the ultimate venue to show off a brand new beauty look. And for Halle Berry, who set the bar at the 2002 Academy Awards with both the win for Best Actress (Berry remains the only Black actress to have won the award) and an enduringly iconic pixie cut, it seems that the Oscars red carpet moonlights as a particularly favorable opportunity to debut an augmented aesthetic. Berry stepped out this evening in a freshly-snipped A-line bob replete with shorn micro-fringe, an entirely new vibe for the presenter.
For those who favor foreshadowing, a hint to the makeover came ahead of the event: Berry shared an Instagram story featuring a pile of hair clippings on the floor, alluding to a reinvigorated style. The playful cut offered a dose of organic geometry to her flouncy roseate gown, making for an unexpected and well-balanced moment. Glowing skin and touches of pink makeup ensured a romantic feel, but for Berry, this year's standout detail definitely lies in the transformative chop.
