Halle Berry once again turned heads at the 2025 Oscars, proving why she is a style icon. While Berry has been sporting a bob for some time, her look at this year’s Academy Awards was something special.
She arrived on the red carpet wearing one of the night’s biggest trends—a sparkling silver gown by Christian Siriano. The strapless dress, designed to look like shattered mirrors pieced together, was a standout piece. Berry paired it with dazzling Pomellato jewelry, completing a glamorous look.
Makeup artist Hung Vanngo crafted a Bond-girl-inspired glow using Chanel products. He applied Chanel’s Joues Contraste Intense Cream-to-Powder Blush in Grenat Profond to both Berry’s cheeks and the crease of her eyelids, creating a cohesive, radiant finish.
Berry’s bob stole the show with its playful flip. Stylist David Stanwell gave her hair a deep side part and slicked it down for a sleek, almost wet look. He left about an inch of length at the ends and flipped the hair outward and upward, adding a fun, elegant touch. Interestingly, even though her hair wasn’t curly, Stanwell used Olaplex No.10 Bond Shaper Curl Defining Gel to keep it sleek while providing some hold.
The flipped bob is a classic style that many celebrities embrace eventually, and Berry’s version at the Oscars was a perfect blend of formal and playful—one of the night’s best beauty moments.
