Halle Berry Shocks Fans With Her Sheer Panel Met Gala Look
A plunging neckline and dramatic train added even more drama to the already sultry look.
The 58-year-old completed the ensemble with a veiled fascinator by Jennifer Behr and sparkling diamond pieces from Cartier, adding a touch of old-Hollywood glamour to the edgy outfit.
Berry styled her dark hair in a polished, sleek bun, complementing her look with a smoky eye and a soft nude lip.
“We took traditional tailoring elements, structured shoulders and defined waistlines, and reimagined them with sheer fabrics, stretch silks and unexpected cutouts,” LaQuan said of the ensemble per British Vogue.
One of the most anticipated parts of the Met Gala each year is the fashion commentary—especially when it comes to who missed the mark or veered off theme. This time, Halle Berry faced backlash, with many fans surprised by her choice of such a revealing look, noting it was a departure from her typically more classic red carpet style.
Fans React To Halle Berry Racy Met Gala Look
Users on reddit said: "It's the next step of the sheer trend: nothing at all."
"She has a lot more faith in dress tape than I do, because if I were wearing this, I would be so afraid."
"This is the worst thing she’s ever worn and I’ve seen BAPS. But she’s still Halle Berry and looks like that so…"
"I came in this post only to say I've never disliked anything she's ever worn before until now. Like, she somehow found a dress that is unflattering on her, and I didn't think that was possible."
"I dont even know which part is the worst part."
"The idea is interesting, but not the execution. The jacket distracts and the dress didn't need to show her groin. It's just too obviously trying to be outrageous. Halle is classier than this. In these pics, she doesn't even look happy wearing it."
"This is hideous."
"I’ve never seen her look so bad. This was such a fail."
