For the record, Halle Berry’s body is still amazing. Right? These are photos of Halle, with her French lover (and “bidness” associate) Olivier Martinez last night at the Silver Rose Awards. Halle was honored at the ceremony/fundraiser, which benefits Halle’s long-standing charitable cause, the Jenesse Center. The Jenesse Center helps victims of domestic violence through counseling, housing and education.
Apparently, “E” designed this dress (??)… I don’t really like it. Honestly, I would probably hate it on anyone else, but Halle comes close to making it work. The color looks good on her, the neckline is flattering, and the cut… well, Halle always knows how to wear dresses that cling to every curve. I think my problem is with the ruched sleeves? The sleeves look budget, and they bring down the dress. Beyond the fashion aspect, is this a good look for Halle? I’m talking about her face- while I’ve always thought Halle had rather sad eyes, for the past few events she’s attended, her eyes have been looking… I don’t know. Darker. Unstable. Like she’s a woman on the verge.
Olivier’s face looks like hell, but I like his suit, and the combo of a grey suit with a black shirt. I’m also kind of impressed with Olivier… you know they’re coming up on their one year anniversary very soon, right? I wonder when their film Dark Tide is coming out? Will they go much longer beyond the film’s promotion, or is this something deeper? Honestly, I’m starting to wonder if Olivier actually has feelings for Halle. He seems very happy to show up for her, and he seems like a *gasp* good boyfriend. I wonder what Halle will accuse him of when they do split?
In other Halle news, a few days ago it was announced that Halle was pulling out of a planned debut on Broadway in September. Halle had signed on for a production of The Mountaintop, but the show’s producers told the media that Halle had dropped out because of “child-custody issues.” Fun fact: The play is about the 24 hours before Martin Luther King’s assassination, and Samuel L. Jackson will be playing Dr. King. That’s an interesting choice, right? Halle was supposed to play a maid at the Lorraine Hotel, where Dr. King was assassinated.

I’ve always thought her body was unappealing, don’t ask me why.
Poor Ollie on that first pic, bahaha! Actually this set of pics serve him no justice… Halle is looking good, I love that I’m seeing stretch marks on her boobs, and I don’t mean it in nasty way. Her body is good, not as vicious as it was but still wouldn’t I like to like like that in my forties! And her skin is flawless
The dress is a cute. I don’t like it because its kinda wrinkly. I understand its supposed to have ruching but I don’t like it on a dress so tight and short. The ruching is cute on the sleeves though.
The best thing about Halle in this pic, is Olivier Martinez on her arm.
Bizarre that Kaiser’s problem is the dress and not Olivier looking crazy in that first photo. I like the dress and agree that the sleeves are bad.
The words lovely and Halle Berry just do not go together.
@Kaiser, I agree, what IS she gonna accuse him of doing when this ends? Cos it sure won’t be cos of something she did.
Halle looks great in just about anything she puts on but it’s her craziness that turns me off.
Oh no, Olivier… what happened to you?!
Must go watch Unfaithful to make myself feel better.
Her body is banging, work that dress girl!
She’s not appealing at all. What she’s like on the inside with her legal efforts, including lying, to deny Nahla’s father access to her, makes her ugly on the outside.
You know the dress is not good if it makes Halle freakin’ Berry look less than amazing. Whatever her personal issues, she rarely misses.
On pure aesthetics she’s absolutely stunning. Obviously she’s crazy, but maybe Olivier likes that? Plus, he’s gone over from “silver fox” to just plain “old” now, so he’s probably just happy he’s still relevant!
Yeah the sleeves are hideous but she still is a stunner…Oh and I think it will take ALOT, ALOT to make me think Halle is ugly no matter how f–d in the head she is.
When I first saw these pictures I thought, “Man, Halle’s looking her age!” Not sure if it’s the eyes or the outfit or the combination, but she looks like a very pretty 44 year old woman here. Guess crazy ages you. The boyfriend looks like he’s been drinking since yesterday.
I am sorry never have seen the attraction of her body, face yes. Don’t like her legs, same as mine and I hate them. The dress I don’t like bar the colour.
As to Oliver Martinez, his last film was in 2007 until this film with Halle, so he needs to be seen if he wants to crack the Hollywood Film Industry.
We will just have to see how long it lasts, the time with Gabriel was the longest so far.
Why can’t she just stand up straight?
I don’t mind it at all. So that’s not the guy who she had the kid with, the one who’s a jerk?
Eh, I don’t know. There is something a little hoochie about that dress, a little whiff of ‘trying too hard.’ And she needs to do something about her ‘Bed Head’ hairstyle. Enough with that look already.
At least her boobie stretch marks makes me feel a little normal/better now.
Anytime I see a picture of her now she leaves a bad taste in my mouth. She just resonates crazy to me now.
She is ugly on the inside, so it makes no difference how she looks on the outside.
I hope Gabriel Aubrey gets his name on Nahla’s birth certificate pronto. He deserves 50/50 custody of his child so Nahla can have one stable loving parent.
you are totally right about the sleeves looking budget. this dress would be so much better sleeveless.
Ahhh, Kaiser, CJZ has you watching the eyes now, no? I love it.
Circa 1980’s swimwear. I swear that’s what it reminds me of…so fail. But she’s a beauty in spite of her crazy or tacky dresses.
She’s still a beautiful woman but the dress is nasty and her personality seals the coffin.
I don’t get his appeal. But I do admire him for wearing Cuban heels instead of ‘Tom Cruising it’ with lifts.
Oliver looks mentally challenged in that top photo.
Halle Berry is gorgeous in anything really. I don’t mind the sleeves of this dress so much, but I wish it wasn’t so shiny.
Used to like her, but after all that bashing with her daughters dad…no so much. Get the impression she nuts and totally high maintenance.
Haters….just about all of you. Emotional wreck, unstable, crazy, ugly on the inside, unflattering dress…say what you will about Miz Berry but at the end of the day, this 45-year old woman is STUNNING!!! Who among you, her worst critics this morning, are close to her age or older and can honestly hold a MATCH to her? Honestly? Just trying to be fair, here. And if you claim to be, yet have plastic surgery, Botox and the like as confirmation of your *ahem* stunning qualities, please take a seat. You’re still not in the running.
What are they doing together??????
I thought there was this obsessive planning that Halle and Olivier would be dunzo two months ago.
Bad wishes don’t always come through, now do they?
UGH. Why did she need to specify she withdrew because of “child-custody issues?” Just keep it vague, Halle and keep it classy.
Also she should stop wearing open-toed sandals until she deals with that bunion by her pinky toe. Gross.
I so wish this woman hadn’t ruined my perception of her with all her psycho-bitch. *sigh*
@Raised Brow – A lot of us can’t help but judge her appearence based on the extremely unpleasant behavior we’re seen from her. Yes, she’s a beautiful looking woman, but outer beauty isn’t everything.
That doesn’t make us jealous haters.
They both gross me out. After the way they treated their previous partners I think they deserve each other.
Hey @Raised Brow, are you Halle’s assistant? hee hee
Seriously, I think she is a mean-spirited woman. I thought they’d be over by now, but he is very content to live the high life, especially since he isn’t working right now. If he was working, he’d be gone. BTW, the movie they filmed in post production has no release date yet – it must be awful.
She looks amazing. How, other than what the rags say, do we know she’s crazy?
An enthusiastic standing ovation to “Raised Brow”!!!! The overtly negative and not so thinly veiled envious comments regarding Halle never ceases to amaze me. As if somehow Halle personally transgressed against these haters of the most fervent variety. Celebrity gossip is fun and entertaining, BUT WE DON”T KNOW THESE PEOPLE lol.
I nonetheless maintain that her beauty defies age, race, and I would not turn down an opportunity to look half as good as she does. Perceived petty flaws and all!!! And NO, I am not affiliated w/ this actress in any way, shape, or form. In this case, hatred is forming the most negative opinion, w/ the least amount of direct and personal information. One love “Raised Brow”!!!
What the Halle happened to Olivier? She is sucking the hotness right out of him!
Olivier’s aging is unfortunate – he used the be the friggin’ hottest thing on this planet back when he did ‘Unfaithful’ – which was not that long ago! His suit is fantastic but the rest – Ugh..Sad.
It’s just too bad some of Halle’s bigger fans can’t be her assistant for a week…
Where are my sunglasses!!!
um, ppl are saying she’s beautiful but flawed or they dont like how she plays….
we don’t know ANY celebs personally (most of us, anyway)…but that is the point of this blog.
why are HB fans getting all up in arms challenging people b/c they dont like her attitude, but affirm she is gorgeous?
random.
i’m not seeing it [the ‘hate’] w/HB anymore than with other celebs ppl ‘love to hate’-goopy, for one.
your devotion to defense of her is also a bit extreme. not getting your take on the comments here.
To each his own.
I get so tired of the argument that unless one is as physically attractive as the subject under discussion then any negative option is automatically the result of jelously or being ‘haters’. Someone’s worth is not inextricably tied to their physical appearance. All beautiful people are not good and worthy and all homely people are not bitter and jelous. Attractiveness is an internal trait as well. Just because people have been turned off by Halle’s recent behavior and feel that her less than attractive personality is overshadowing her, admitably impressive, outward attractivness does not make them jelous haters. It just means they are a little less superficial than Halle’s PR people would like them to be.
Not so much.
It looks like a dress a $5 hooker would wear. And I don’t find her beautiful either, haven’t in years TBH.
@Quest lol, I was thinking that too hahaha
And she is gorgeous and has a great body, but I can’t believe that she can pull a celeb man after she has shown her crazies over and over and over again. Olivier has to know what fate awaits him…
@Zombie Nurse – “I get so tired of the argument that unless one is as physically attractive as the subject under discussion then any negative option is automatically the result of jelously or being ‘haters’. Someone’s worth is not inextricably tied to their physical appearance.”
Seconded. Your whole post was well articulated, better than I could manage. =)
What you’re seeing about her eyes is the result of plenty of botox and other work. she’s looking pretty jacked.
it’s interesting how it’s politically incorrect to make fun of mental illness yet people throw the word crazy around as if it has no implications.
She is so beautiful.
what happened to his face, unfaithful was like 9 yrs ago?
damn africa, what happened? -mean girls
