Apart from maybe Lucy Lui’s Gone with The Wind disaster, Halle Berry was just about the only Globes attendee wearing a printed dress last night. She was in a celestial print pastel one-shoulder draped Atelier Versace. The bustline made it look like one of her boobs was hanging lower than the other. In true Halle form, she showed off some of her enviable stomach through this dress. So did Halle pull it off? I’ll be damned if she did. Halle loves her 90s fashion and she’s about the only woman who seems to consistently rock it with style. Halle looks gorgeous and offbeat here. She was true to form. Still, this was not occasion appropriate, but what the hell does Halle care? She just wants to look hot. Also, Halle’s eyes look different, don’t they?
This post is somewhat dedicated to the leg-flashers, the women who stuck their legs out, Jolie-style, through the high slit in their gowns. The more time that passes, the more I realize that Jolie was somewhat of a trailblazer for this trend and that we should reserve our mocking for those who follow it blindly. Like I doubt any of these women did this as a joke, particularly Eva Longoria here who is straining to show as much thigh as possible. Look at her caterpillar eyelashes and her Bride of Frankenstein poof. Eva thinks she’s super hot in this black lace dress with slits everywhere. This mess of a dress is custom Emilio Pucci.
Heidi Klum was in her latest go-to designer, Alexandre Vauthier. For Heidi, this tight, high slit gown isn’t bad. For anyone else it’s been done before and it’s not that interesting. Also check out how orange Heidi is.
Also very orange and try-hard is Lea Michele. We just saw her very pap-friendly vacation with her boyfriend, Corey Monteith, so some of this radioactive glow is probably natural, but it looked pretty fake to me on screen. Lea was in Elie Saab. It’s not a bad dress, but she bugs me so much I have a hard time admiring her fashion. Did anyone else get annoyed by the constant L’oreal haircare commercials featuring Lea that aired during the breaks?
And finally Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in black Saint Laurent. This is probably some high fashion gown that I’m not “getting,” but it just looks like a gothic mess to me, like something I would wear to an eighth grade ball and think was cool. I like the belt. I guess Rosie was there as Jason Statham’s date, so they must be going somewhat strong. We heard breakup rumors about these two just about a month ago.
Statham needs to shave that hot head of his. Hair is not a good look for him.

Halle was one of the worst dressed of the night and it couldn’t have happened to a better person. I loath this woman and I am ready for her to go away.
Eva. Wow, talk about desperate and try hard. It’s a tie between her and JLo for the most unnecessary and pathetic appearance of the night.
Lea and Heidi – two words – OF COURSE.
And more leg from Rosie Whatshername. Shocking.
Haha that really does sum up Heidi and Lea.
Berry’s eyes look weird… but then again, weird is the new Berry. Love Jason Statham but the beard is too unkempt.
I am no a fan of HB’s dress.
Halle’s dress looked like something that Heidi would wear. Heidi looked quite lovely in comparison!
IDK what was going on with Halle but one boob looked three times the size of the other! Bad designer! Bad! Off!
Stop with the leg! So stupid.
Halle looks like she’s on something.
Permanently high on all that crazy.
It’s the stupid print I’m telling you it’s bringing out the crazy in her
On another note can we please STOP with the slits, lace and sheer please I think I’ve seen more of these women’s bodies than I’ve seen my own
Good god, they are all doing the leg now! Are they crazy? Hollywood IS like Highschool!
Awful. Halle’s right boob looks like it’s sliding down her torso.
Seriously. That dress makes it look like her left boob went missing and her right one is trying to escape to go and find it.
Hilarious
“hair is not a good look for him”
Love it!
I love Halle’s dress. I think she took a risk and it paid off. @Celebitchy it should also be noted she was in DC the night before receiving an humanitarian award at the BET Honors and her dress was gorgeous!
How does this woman get a humanitarian award? She is a selfish woman who let her hired thug of a boyfriend beat up on the father of her child. She has continually tried to rip their daugther away from her father. Why does Hollywood continue to cater to these monsters (halle and tiny tom). We have the power to ignore them and not give one cent to anything they are associated with but if Hollwood would get the memo it would help with their downfall much faster. She and tiny tom are evil in my book.
The other thing about Halle I don’t get is she obviously knows she is one of the most goregeous women in Hollywood and has a phenomenal body and she doesn’t walk around in her personal life looking like a trashy low rent whore like Kim Kardashian so why when it is red carpet time does she show up looking so desperate? I mean she does wear some very classy dresses but when it is a big even with maximum exposure she always shows up looking cheap and desperate. We would expect nothing less from Kimmy, why dress like a Kardashian? It doesn’t fit with the cool girl vibe she rocks in her personal life.
“How does this woman get a humanitarian award?”
the same way obama got the nobel peace prize.
its amazing. 50 years from now students will be shaking their heads at our effed up society.
oh and about her dress. looks like something one of those real housewives would wear to a barbecue or something.
LOL TG, the shade you are throwing Halle is awesome.
@Iboogie2012, who wrote: “I love Halle’s dress. I think she took a risk and it paid off. @Celebitchy it should also be noted she was in DC the night before receiving an humanitarian award at the BET Honors and her dress was gorgeous!”
Forget it … Jet-lag is a very plausible, realistic reason why her eyes look like they do, but the haters here will ‘never’ admit or agree to a logical reason for Halle Berry looking or being anything other than what their hatred dictates.
Having said that, the woman does look incredibly lovely, as always. 🙂
ITA,
I’m not a Halle Berry fan but, this woman is gorgeous. Beautiful complexion, great body, and at 46 years old, turning 47 this year she looks better than most young HW actresses. My friend, who goes to the same salon as Halle in LA told me ” Halle comes in with no make-up, jeans, baseball cap and is still gorgeous”.
I love love Rosie Huntington’s dress. However, Jason needs to keep his head/face clean shaven. He looks like her dad. He much sexier without the hair.
I guess they are all are trying for the High slit/Angie leg pose for press since no one remembered who won last years Oscars a day later.
What risk? Halle has worn a version of this dress in different colours at different award shows. It’s her go-to style.

and many other occassions.
The woman should buy shares in the one-shouldered, corset-waisted and flowing gown emporium. Yawn!!!
@EmmaJPL – No one on CB disputes how lovely and beautiful this woman is. It’s her perceived personality that people don’t like which as we all know diminishes a person’s beauty and vice versa if an ugly person turns out to have an exceptionally wonderful personality.
she always wears the same sort of dress and she’s right :she looks hot (even if the fabric is tacky here)
She did look more fashionable at those awards. Halle BOUGHT her BET award. Trust me. BET is continuously kissing her a$z.
Uffff!!! At least one more person that likes Halle’s dress. I think it’s different and sexy and looks great on her. Well, she always looks great anyway. I believe Gabriel is a great dad though.
I actually liked Halles dress. It was different.
Yeah I liked Halle’s dress too. I don’t really understand all the harsh comments on this site regarding her appearance. The woman is stunning: how many of us could chop of all of our hair and still look as feminine and beautiful?
I think I would’ve hated the dress on anyone else, but on Halle, it really worked. Not everyone wants to wear the shapeless avant garde couture that’s all the rage now. So I guess it’s possible to be both a hot mess AND sexy? I know she’s nuts and all, but the woman is rockin’ 46.
Halle’s a pretty lady, no doubt.
But there have been several different instances in which I’ve gotten close-up views of her and a handful of other “most beautiful women in Hollywood/the known universe” out and about, and they’ve all been attractive in a very normal way — that is, not one of them has given me whiplash from her mind-shattering beauty.
These people have the means and the motivation to appear impeccably well groomed most, if not all, of the time. It’s their job to be glamazons. So their “incredible beauty” should really be taken into perspective. If they weren’t celebs, they’d blend in just like everybody else.
I don’t think it’s bad either. She’s such a gorgeous woman. But where was Olivier?
She wears this style all the time!
LOL all of them trying to pull ‘The Leg’ but really, they all failed.
I’m disappointed with Halle’s dress, usually she brings high fashion but this wash her out… but damn her body rocks.
Why is Eva Longoria there? What exactly does she do again?
I kept asking all night: Why is she there? Who invites her? Why?
I wondered how Eve Longoria gets invited to all the big movie events too. Isn’t she always a big show at Cannes? Also, why was Jessica Alba invited to present? Is she even in the movie business anymore?
This is a film and TELEVISION event. The last event honouring last season’s TV schedule. DH was very much a part of last season.This is probably the last shout out she’ll get unless she gets a role on film/TV again or buys her way in for next year’s awards season.
GG are the last awards in the year for TV people.
As for her attendance at CAnnes, she is a L’oreal spokesperson. L’Oreal sponsor Cannes. They fly in all their girls. That’s why you see people like Eva, Cheryl Cole, Aishwarya Rai etc despite not having any product at the festival.
I did not realise how tiny Heidi’s nose is. None of these looks wowed me.
I thought the ‘leg thing’ was ridiculous. I laughed when Jolie did it (as it was an over-the-top thrust) and I laughed as soon as the pics started filtering through my feeds. Unfrakkinbelievable how so many women blindly did the same damn thing. Whoever ‘their people’ are, they should be fired. These women looked foolish, ignorant, commercial and unoriginal. As if the excess wasn’t enough. Barf.
I could not agree more! It’s like these women just discovered their legs for the first time. I’d say Eva was the worst offender here. She was actively pushing out her leg every time she stopped on the carpet. Sooo pathetic.
I said this yesterday but Halle always looks soooo dated. She has such a gorgeous face and figure but she is stuck in one look. Same silhouette, same hair, same make up. I swear, if you lined up all her looks I couldn’t tell you what is from ’98, or the entire past decade and now. Such a waste! Oh and where is Olivier? I haven’t seen him in a while, don’t they usually walk these things together? I see she still has on her ring though….
Eva’s make up is too much, Rosie should close her mouth, Heidi looks cheap as usual and Leah looks like Leah.
i just said the same thing upthread before seeing your comment.
She does one look, year after year.
Haha LAK, I saw your links! Very thorough. I see we are on the same wave length about Halle’s style.
that weird boob situation on Halle Berry may be a sign that her body was trying to reject the dress.
Halle and Eva both look like a hot mess. and I actually love Rosie’ s dress. it’s interesting.
I liked Rosie’s dress too actually
eva longwhoria looks TERRIBLE in this dress – where is her neck
she looks short and pudgy
and that hair, jesus mary and joseph – what in the can of aqua net heII is going on there?
Can I use that “can of Aquanet hell” line, please?
i know, that was a good one, right?? lolo
Hell Berry same old same old… reminds me of Mimi at the time of her Rainbow album, she was wearing that pair of ripped jeans all the time, she had them by hundreds and yet it was the same…
Eva Longoria hairdo reminds me of my Mother souffle recipe. As for the outfit, no no no…
Leah takes me back to Charlize Theron, she had the same shiny dress and orange skin when she won that Oscar for Monster.
Rosie, I don’t understand her gown either.
I am ignoring Heidi.
But Charlize somehow got away with that look. What did someone call her? “The Human Trophy”. Maybe it’s the height and the blonde hair and a slightly more golden tinge rather than flat orange?
Halle looks the same to me lately no matter what she wears. And her stance in that first picture looks like the way I stand when I’m trying to pee in the woods. Or over a toilet without actually sitting on it.
And as someone once said about Ashley Judd’s cooch-high slit, Eva Longoria is trying to show us her special purpose.
Halle looks like she was on the losing end of a fight with pruning shears..
Other than Halle, why were the rest of them there?
normally Lea annoys me to no end, but I can’t deny that she looked gorgeous last night
Heidi doesn’t look orange? I think she actually looks the best out of all of them featured.
Halle’s starting to age.
Eva looks like Frankenstein’s prostitute.
The rest…? Meh.
It’s funny how women are dissed on here for fillers, Botox, etc., trying to look younger, and if a fortiesh woman appears on stage without all that it is pointed out she’s starting to age. Sigh.
Halle looked fantastic in that dress, especially when walking, the way it flowed. The stupid leg pose is cringeworthy. I loved that there was a lot of diversity in the dresses.
Yeah I agree jayna. Halle berry looks exceptionally good for forty-something. But do we expect her to look like 20 forever? Come on… It’s like you can never win w some women.
Jayna, I won’t deny that Halle’s got GREAT genes. I’m sure she has also been and continues to be very mindful of what she puts into her body and onto her face.
But do you truly believe she hasn’t had ANY subtle cosmetic work done to maintain her youthful looks?!?!
She’s just a very good example of someone who understands the concept of moderation.
Yea I’m kind of confused by that statement. Maybe I’m misunderstanding you but it seems as if you’re criticising Halle for ageing?
Halle is a big old bag of crazy but the woman’s body and face is virtually flawless, even in that ugly dress.
Well personally I think all these ladies are looking a little shop worn and trying to hard but Halle is the worst……Lovely dress if it was on a Blonde who was 20…..and stop with the blowing the kiss pose and the leg pose looks so dated…. You know who’s dress I liked ? …Selma Hayaks…..that was a pretty dress without being over revealing….
Why would Halle’s dressed have looked better on a blonde? Do you mean someone blonde and white I think a dress w those colors that w look best of brown and black ladies.
Eh sry about the typos.
Boob-atrocious
I think everyone of these women are beautiful but I hated every dress. I just hate that high slit thing. I like Rosie’s hair and makeup but that dress was like ick.
I loved Lea’s dress even though I felt she wore something similar before. And I loved Eva’s dress but wish she wasn’t doing “the Angelina”. Heidi looked good for once. Rosie looked good as well. Halle was a hot mess.
As for the Lea commercials, I saw none when I was watching. I saw a couple of the Beyonce Loreal ones when watching.
halle’s dress looked cheap as hell. i thought it looked like a cheap knock-off of the old-school versace greek-key print, then i realized it IS versace. it looks like one of those polyester handkerchief dreses you can buy on the street for $10 here in nyc in the summer. and homegirl ALWAYS wears that silhouette.
I also thought Halle’s dress looked really CHEAP. My aunt got one at Walmart that looked like a short version of it. I liked Halle’s hair for awhile, but I think she needs to, like Michael Jackson said it, “Make that change” 🙂
I agree tabasco. Holle’s dress reminded me of swimsuit cover-up our elderly neighbor lady used to wear back in the 70s. I thought it was a ridiculous choice for a red carpet event. Especially on someone old enough to know better.
i love that there is actually a shot of halle getting ready to pull her dress apart so she can stick her leg out. jeezus, after so many years on a red carpet, wouldn’t you develop a smooth/non-obvious way of doing that?
Did anyone notice how fast Jason S got away from Adele after he handed her her award? Honestly, she dwarfed him- he looked to be all of 5’5″ next to her- and I mean that in no mean way to Adele. It’s like he was thinking- OMG- Action Man cant be dwarfed by Grammy winner!!!
Halle looked like an expensively dressed bitch trying to out leg the leg.
Lea looked way too orange. STOP with the over tanning people! It does not look natural!
And Rosie, she usually looks great, especially her hair so WHY the hell did she show up looking like that?!
Halle actually looks good with that dress and I love it..
Lea also looks good and that dress was lovely.
Now for the others not so much…
Jolie did not start the leg trend that was started way before her.. People only notice because she did otherwise the leg showing trend was done before her
I’m fairly certain most of us realize the leg pose has been done before. However, I do believe Jolie’s thrusty leg going viral last year provides a credible basis for comparison. Common sense? No?
I’m chuckling at your comment because I will say it again all that have been done before!!! Try again
Nothing spectacular at all. The way she thrust her leg was pathetic as well… Common Sense I have plenty, do you have any?
Of course the leg pose has been done before. But Angelina really took it to a whole new level. It was really ridiculously out there and even when she went onstage to present, she was still thrusting that leg out there. At least when Eva presented tonight, at least she kept her leg back. i loved the dress when she wore it onstage.
@Marianne, who wrote: “Of course the leg pose has been done before. But Angelina really took it to a whole new level. It was really ridiculously out there and even when she went onstage to present, she was still thrusting that leg out there.”
You know, I really thought someone would have said this before now regarding ‘the leg’ and why Angelina may have thrust it out in such a manner.
As many, MANY of you have pointed out, the woman lives with a little fashion-nista (yes, I’m talking about Ms. ‘Z’). Is it too hard to imagine Angie and Brad walking out the door and Ms. ‘Z’ saying “Don’t forget, you have to put her hand on your hip and put your leg out like ‘this'”?
That was the ‘first’ thing I thought when she did it on stage (because it almost looked like she forgot for a second), that Ms. ‘Z’ was watching and had ‘instructed’ her Mom how to strike a pose in that beautiful dress. 🙂
Lighten up, people. As evidenced by all the ‘hand on hips, legs out’ poses on the Red Carpet yesterday, Angie wasn’t as ‘mocked’ as some of you might wish.
Jolie was among the first if not the first and certainly the first B lister or higher to wear the thigh high split, starting at the 2009 golden globes and doing it consistently since. Plus she’s favored that style since her late teen years
I was horrified at how orange Lea Michelle looked last night. Not a good look.
Eva Longoria looks like hell. When did she get so incredibly old?
it’s weird, i just aw pics of her from a few weeks ago and she looked fantastic.
but she’s got a quasi double chine going.
wow, what a bad dress/bad hair can do to a short women…yikes
All I see when I look at Halle is evil.
Me too Skipper and I think her outside beauty is starting to catch up to her inside ugliness..
Meh on Halle. She seemed so disinterested as she was presenting her category. And her boobs looked crazy in that dress — one was supported firmly by the dress’s waistband, and the other was just hanging freely in a sort of boob hammock.
I like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s dress a lot on her. She looks like a nouveau Jerry Hall here with that bleachy blonde hair.
I hate the print on Halle’s dress. The cut and everything else is fine, but I dislike the print. Eva and Heidi…eh. Lea’s fine. Rosie…no.
this post must have been the ‘Crazy Ladies of the Night’ post…I can’t look at Halle w/out thinking ‘psychotic bitch’ with her two ‘horns’ on top of her head..
I heard that Eva Longoria is in LOVE again!…with HERSELF! she’s currently scouting for a ‘private’ and ‘low key’ wedding so they can (not) hide from the paparazzi…..
the rest? eghh…uhhh….
ehh..
I love Eva’s dress, just not on her. It would be gorgeous on someone much taller. She’s way too short for it.
Is Halle’s dress torn on her left side? The fabric looks torn away from the midriff area, right where she’s got her hand-pose.
I do not like Halle at all, BUT she will be 47 this year and damn she is hot.
Yee Gods, Eva Longoria wins the Annette Funicello look-alike contest circa 1957! That pouffy hair, the bubblegum pink lipstick, the batwing eyebrows! How in the name of false eyelashes can she even keep her eyelids open? Those babies must weigh a pound each! Not to mention the black lace tablecloth she’s wearing. Major fail.
Rosie Huntington-Whitely looks like the epitome of someone who is totally self-absorbed with herself. She just has that “I am so special and beautiful” kind of look that I dislike on women…gag. Bless all the beautiful and talented women that don’t choose to play this angle…good luck with that, Statham.
I think Halle looks awful, I hate that dress. And I am sick to death of her cock-a-doodle-doo hair. Hate it.
Rosie looks like a Gothic giraffe.
Heidi = meh.
Lea and Eva = desperate.
Sorry. Can’t ever get past Halle’s horrid behavior to see anything else.
The person writing this article is surely bitter. I would pay big dollars to see some of you losers on a red carpet. Flips hair…that is all
Cosign!
Rosie- put your nipple ring away!
Cheap and try-hard.
What was missing in Jolie’s leg pose was the feminine slight inward tilt of the knee. The women here are pulling it off nicely, whilst she just looked awkward – like she was stamping on a bug or something.
Halle – the right boob going south disaster was too distracting to make this look work. I think Lea Michael takes the win, both for poise and look.
@Lulu, who wrote: “What was missing in Jolie’s leg pose was the feminine slight inward tilt of the knee. The women here are pulling it off nicely, whilst she just looked awkward – like she was stamping on a bug or something.”
LOL! Yeah, keep telling yourself that. 😉
You know, you really don’t have to take every single opportunity to defend your favorite actress/do-gooder/savior of humanity. (Psst: she doesn’t care.)
The Jolie-Pitt posts provide enough of a forum for that.
I see the Halle haters having a field day.Halle could wear a sack and still look better than 90% of the actresses in Hollywood.BTW I see her deadbeat ex finally started working after nine months .I guess child support didn’t cover his attorney fees and medical bills after Martinez beat his a##.
+1 haha.
Hi HAlle.
So nice of you to drop in today. Missed you in the last Halle/Aubry threads.
Also nice of you to update us on Aubry’s work situation. I guess you stopped dragging him to court every other day so he can now get on with his life!!!
ps:- You really need to let go of this anger. or take up boxing. Olivier seems to be into it. you can pummel a bag to your heart’s content, get rid of this anger and have something to talk about with Olivier. win win for you!
yours Sincerely
The world.
Nice. 🙂
Rumour has it that Halle had to cover those bills as part of the settlement. The same settlement that saw Aubrey take Nahla to Canada for Christmas, without Berry having any contact at all over the holidays, right after he’d already had his daughter with him for Thanksgiving.
Berry was feeling awfully generous for a woman whose scary, violent ex just launched an unprovoked attack, don’t you think? Funny, that she has spent years claiming he’s too volatile and dangerous to be in Nahla’s life, yet now she is meekly rolling over, if he’s in the wrong and she can prove it – no?
She is indeed a staggeringly beautiful woman. But her selfish refusal to consider the needs of her own child has destroyed her reputation, and it seems very likely it will have the same effect on her career.
Huh? Do you know anything about modelling? He works for nearly EVERY Spring, Summer and Winter campaign. At his age that is quite a professional accomplishment. Plus he does print ads in between. I’ve heard that he is also a minority (less than 50%) corporate investor.
Halle is one of the most beautiful women in the world, and that dress is the ugliest I’ve ever seen on a red carpet. She usually dresses really well, too. Did she do something terrible to her stylist?
Leah Michele’s dress is very cute, Eva’s is ugly. The top half of Halle’s dress is ill fitting.
doesn’t Rosie look like a younger version of Cameron Diaz circa her THE MASK days???
Was Olivier Martinez with Halle last night? I didn’t see him…wondering if its over!
Rosie needs a skinny belt
Want Lea’s hair color…
Halle looks pretty, pretty crazy
She clearly needed the attention last night. I like that cut of dress on her as it sways over all the right bits. The print is too early nineties, though. She’s mess cause of those quasi-frosted tips, the washed out matte make-up and eyebrow situation, and the over-abundance of fillers around her mouth.
Oh, and her entire persona and malicious soul. ; )
Now everyone is doing “The Leg”! Angelina started it!
Oh dear, it’s a sea of Jolie leg impersonators! The fact Berry feels the need to kowtow to this trend tells me she’s in dire need of attention. Sorry H, no amount of thigh is going to make people forget what an a**hole you are.
Her expression in that first pic is very interesting – you can really see the bitchy angry under the surface even though she’s trying to promote a whole ‘serene goddess” vibe. And it also looks like she’s about to squat to pee.
I love Lea’s and Rosie’s dresses! Pretty dresses! Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s hair really bothers me though! It would have looked better pulled back or curled!
I hate this dress. Halle has a mega-hot body and a beautiful face and she is capable of looking elegant and classy and hot all at the same time; but she insists on these nineties-style monstrosities that flash as much flesh as possible. Plus she has a habit of choosing dresses which make her breasts look lopsided due to weird tailoring. She needs to learn the valuable lesson that sometimes showing less flesh is actually sexier.
Halle looks beautiful. I love her dress. Her leg looks good too!
