Halle Berry has long been a master of red-carpet styling, and this article highlights two standout moments—seven years apart—that capture her instinct for pairing high-fashion footwear with timeless elegance, from a modern 2019 appearance to a classic 2012 premiere look.
Halle Berry Elevates a Metallic CinemaCon Look with Architectural Stella Luna Heels
At the 2019 CinemaCon in Las Vegas, the John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum star showcased a modern metallic look that remains a reference point for cocktail attire. Joining peers like Katie Holmes and Charlize Theron, Berry demonstrated why she remains one of Hollywood’s most influential style icons.
Standing beside director Chad Stahelski—who measures 6ft 1 (185.4 cm)—Berry’s 5ft 5in (165.1 cm) frame was noticeably shorter, even with the added lift of her heels.

For the Las Vegas event, Berry opted for a texture-rich ensemble: a silver wrap dress by PatBo paired with architectural Stella Luna heels.
The look was finished with curated jewelry from Established, Graziela Gems, and Vita Fede, proving that a well-executed monochromatic palette is truly timeless.
Stella Luna was one of the most talked-about footwear labels in celebrity style circles during this era, thanks to its blend of high-quality Italian leather, sculptural design, and polished yet wearable silhouettes—a legacy we explored in our brand deep dive, which charts how stars from Jennifer Lawrence to Anna Kendrick have turned to the brand for red-carpet moments.

A few years earlier, Berry delivered another standout red-carpet moment—this time, anchoring her look with one of the era’s most iconic sandal silhouettes.

On a ten-point scale, Berry’s look lands confidently at a 9.5—an impeccably balanced blend of sophistication, sensuality, and understated luxury that feels perfectly matched to the dress.

Jimmy Choo’s presence on the red carpet has long extended well beyond a single moment, with the brand repeatedly emerging as a go-to choice for celebrities seeking leg-lengthening silhouettes and polished glamour, as seen throughout Hollywood’s long-standing obsession with Jimmy Choo heels.
Signature styles like the sharply pointed Anouk pumps have appeared on countless A-listers, from Eva Longoria’s gown-paired red-carpet looks to glitter-finished variations worn at major awards shows, a pattern we’ve documented across multiple celebrity Anouk moments.
More recently, the label’s ability to evolve while maintaining its red-carpet authority has been underscored by bold platform designs and statement colors, including high-impact Jimmy Choo heels worn to the Oscars, reinforcing why the brand remains a consistent fixture at fashion’s biggest events.
