Halle Berry's style evolution in 48 photos: from '90s rising talent to red carpet stalwart

When you think of the most memorable Oscar dresses of all time, her 2002 Elie Saab number is sure to pop into your mind's eye.

Halle Berry made headlines – and helped put the Lebanese designer on the global map – with the burgundy-skirted, floral-embroidered gown, which she wore as she scooped Best Actress for Monster's Ball.

But the near two-decade fashion hit certainly isn't the only notable look in the American actress's style files.

Berry, 54, has made a name for herself as one of Hollywood's most glamorous stars, after landing her breakout film role in 1992's Boomerang.

The former model, who came in sixth in the Miss World 1986 beauty pageant, has been walking the red carpet for years, with tried-and-trusted labels including Versace and Dolce & Gabbana in her arsenal.

Not afraid of a bold print, vibrant hue or head-turning bit of sparkle, Berry tends to enliven many an awards ceremony or premiere with her fashion choices.

The Catwoman star is also a champion of designers of the region, routinely sporting Saab and Zuhair Murad in front of the cameras.

Here, we take a look at how the star's style has evolved throughout her time in the spotlight.
