Halle Berry Turns 58 in Style: Thrives in La Perla Lingerie and Dolce & Gabbana Mary Janes at The Union Premiere

On August 14, 2024, Halle Berry turned 58—and celebrated her birthday in true red-carpet form, reminding everyone why she remains one of Hollywood’s most fearless fashion icons.

Channeling the confidence that defined her early 2000s style era, the Oscar winner flaunted her curves in see-through La Perla lingerie at the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie, The Union. The daring look felt like a glamorous nod to her past while proving that Berry’s sense of self-expression and allure only deepen with time.

Far from a simple birthday outfit, her choice doubled as a statement on ageless confidence and the enduring appeal of elevated sensuality—showing that high heels and daring silhouettes never go out of style when worn with Halle’s signature grace and power.

Sultry in La Perla: Halle Berry’s Birthday Look Redefines Confidence at 58

At 58, Berry still enjoys flaunting her curves and dressing as she pleases, proving that confidence truly transcends age. Her fearless approach to fashion continues to inspire, reflecting the same self-assured energy she brought to red carpets two decades ago.

Halle’s La Perla lingerie look is not for the faint of heart—it demands both body confidence and a commanding presence, qualities she’s embodied throughout her career.

When The Hollywood Reporter asked about her daring ensemble, the Bruised director delivered a signature power line: “Because I can, goddamn.” It was the kind of unapologetic statement that perfectly captures why Halle remains one of fashion’s most magnetic and self-possessed stars.

She’s nearing 60, but the Oscar winner looks fab in the see-through sheer lace lingerie, which includes a flattering form-fitting bodysuit. It has a daring plunging V-neckline, long sleeves, and fabric strips that resemble corset ribbing.

As Halle Berry’s sheer lace look reminds us, La Perla’s influence on red-carpet sensuality runs deep — from lingerie-inspired silhouettes to high-fashion collaborations that blur the line between confidence and couture.

The Bond girl went all out for the sensual style, complementing the see-through bodysuit with a matching knee-length sheer skirt adorned with lace flowers. The skirt stops above her knees and has a scalloped hem and a high waist. Some may not agree, but I think the pairing looks impressive.

I particularly like how the outfit suits her contours wonderfully and covers her modesty with strategically placed flower embroidery.

Embracing Method Dressing: Channeling Her Inner Catwoman for The Union

Berry plays a secret agent in The Union. Still, her ensemble is reminiscent of her iconic role as Catwoman from the 2004 film—an outfit that has seen renewed attention as the film recently celebrated its 20th anniversary.

In The Union, Berry stars as Roxanne Hall. She works as a secret spy for a covert organization called The Union. She later enlists her high school sweetheart, Mike McKenna (Mark Wahlberg), a construction worker from New Jersey, on a dangerous mission.

As the story unfolds, the two rekindle their relationship.

So, what connection does her attire have with the movie’s theme? Berry felt her ensemble was a fantastic representation of the movie’s concept of lovers getting back together.

“I thought with the theme of this movie being lovers reuniting, it was time to bring this out,” she said. “This is also where I’m at today.”

The boldness of Halle’s lace-embroidered ensemble, paired with Mark Wahlberg’s effortlessly casual look—featuring a white T-shirt, navy jacket with an orange inseam, dark pants, and white sneakers from his co-founded brand Municipal—created a striking contrast that perfectly echoed the film’s mix of romance and laid-back chemistry.

Finishing Touches: Selim Mouzannar Diamonds and Dolce & Gabbana Mary Janes

I appreciate Berry’s decision to keep her neck bare to enhance the sultriness of the look. Instead, she wore the $23,220 Basilik Earrings by French-Lebanese jeweler Selim Mouzannar. They are made from 18k yellow gold and set with 3.99ct. diamonds and 0.09ct. blue sapphires. A few rings by Kallati adorned her manicured hands.

Stylist Lindsay Flores put together Berry’s ensemble. Jorge Monroy gave Berry a dewy, bronzed look, highlighting her eyes with smoky eyeshadow and her lips with nude lip gloss. Sara Seward, meanwhile, styled her brunette bob in natural wet-look curls.

A pair of Mary Jane pumps by Dolce & Gabbana completed her ensemble. Honestly, I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect choice to complement her outfit than these Mary Janes.
