Halle Berry made jaws drop\u2014some in awe, others in shock\u2014when she hit the blue carpet at the 2025 Met Gala in a seriously bold outfit. The Oscar-winning actress went full glam with a black and silver ensemble that featured a plunging neckline and dramatic striped detailing on the skirt. But it wasn\u2019t just the glam that had people talking.<\/p>\n
The 57-year-old Monster\u2019s Ball<\/em> star pushed the fashion envelope by skipping underwear altogether. Her dress left both her torso and lower region exposed through sheer panels, putting her at major risk of a wardrobe malfunction. Still, she carried herself like a pro, gracefully posing for the flashing cameras with zero hesitation.<\/p>\n To finish the edgy look, Berry threw on a black satin jacket, a mesh face veil, and kept her accessories simple\u2014a delicate silver necklace and matching earrings. The gown also featured a trailing end that swept across the blue carpet in dramatic fashion.<\/p>\n But Berry wasn\u2019t the only one ditching pants at this year\u2019s event. Pop singer Sabrina Carpenter also turned heads in a maroon suit that bared her legs completely.<\/p>\n As always, the internet had opinions\u2014lots of them. While some fans appreciated Berry\u2019s fearless fashion, others felt she had taken it too far. One user commented, \u201cHalle\u2026 my girl. I expected more from you. We get it. The body is bodying and you\u2019ve aged like fine wine. But this is not the move.\u201d<\/em> Another wrote, \u201cShe\u2019s still hot but doesn\u2019t need to dress like that.\u201d<\/em> A third wasn\u2019t holding back, saying, \u201cHer outfit was disgraceful. You could see her pubic area.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n This year\u2019s Met Gala theme, \u201cSuperfine: Tailoring Black Style,\u201d<\/strong> was inspired by Monica L. Miller\u2019s book Slave to Fashion<\/em>. The theme celebrated Black Dandyism\u2014a style rooted in resistance, elegance, and historical references to European fashion adapted by the African diaspora.<\/p>\n Berry\u2019s look may have stirred some controversy, but it also sparked conversation\u2014proving once again that the Met Gala isn\u2019t just about clothes. It\u2019s about statements, risks, and, sometimes, a little shock value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Halle Berry made jaws drop\u2014some in awe, others in shock\u2014when she hit the blue carpet at the 2025 Met Gala\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":73136,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[9297],"class_list":["post-73135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-halle-berry"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73135"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73135\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73136"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
