Can't Stop Staring: Halle Berry
With just enough sophistication and the right amount of sexy, Halle Berry looked phenomenal in this mauve body-hugging dress by Gucci. She attended the 30th Annual Silver Rose Gala on April 18th, 2010 in this stylish number. A take on the classic shift dress, the frock gave Ms. Berry a Michelle Obama-esque silhouette, but the cut-outs along her mid-drift and neckline provided edge. It proved yes you can be classy while showing a little skin. Berry’s simple do, minimal make up, and neutral toned platforms gave way for all eyes to be on this fabulous dress! That is if anyone could take their eyes off her gorgeous face.

The British model has won countless “Best Dressed” awards in the last 20 years, which is no surprise.
