Halle Berry debuts shorter, lighter hair

fp_2113396_rij_silver_rose_
Gorgeous Halle Berry just wasn’t looking like herself at an event on Sunday for the charity she supports, The Janesse Center for families affected by domestic violence. She debuted a shorter, lighter hair color that is still lovely but doesn’t suit her, in my opinion. 42 year-old Berry was otherwise flawless in a Michelle Obama-type sleeveless v-neck dress with geometric stripe detail and matching strappy shoes that complimented without overwhelming her look.

I really like her outfit. It’s very elegant and understated. I hope Halle goes back to a darker hair color soon, though. The short style looks cute on her and helps show her face, but I think her hair looked better with more subtle highlights. This is Halle Berry we’re talking about though, she could shave her head and she’d still look stunning. According to an interview Halle gave last year, she’ll be doing just that for her upcoming role in Nappily Ever After. She said “I’m going to… shave my head bald for this movie. I’m going to be greasehead bald. I can’t wait.” Maybe she’s just mixing it up with a different hairstyle before she gets rid of it all.

    She always looks beautiful.

    Hair length really suits her face, she looks great. As does that dress although not sure why it’s being referred to as a Michelle Obama-type dress? Mrs O, far as I know, did not invent the sleeveless dress and is certainly not the first person to wear one in public! Sorry. Nit-picking.

    I agree with Di. The woman can’t help looking gorgeous no matter what she does. But I don’t think it really suits her either.

    Not found of the highlights neither. Please someone tell me where to get that necklace of hers!

  5. Mairead says:

    The shorter hair length suits her much better than overly-long, and I think the highlights look great!

    To be fair, that dress is a little low-cut to be a proper allusion to Michelle O.

    I think she looks amazing for a 40 year old woman.

    omg she is gorgeous!!

  8. kxx says:

    I read somewhere that she only washes her hair every 10 days to retain the natural oils, she always looks so beautiful.
    Although i think her shorter pixie type hair suits her more

    soccer mom hair & that dress looks like she has big bleeding, vertical nipples. you’ve gotta work hard to make halle look bad… is her stylist angry with her?

    geronimo: Why are you whining about Michelle Obama? She never claimed to invent the sleeveless dress, but she is going to go down in history for making them popular again in the 21st century. Why can’t you just give her her due as a fashion icon? Is it because you can’t stand to see a black woman as a fashion symbol? Tell the truth.

    I bet she’ll look just as incredible with a shaved head.

    I like the style on her, very cute and fresh. I like that she changes up her look often and doesn’t have the same boring hairstyle for years on end (ie: Demi, Jennifer etc).
