Halle Berry Slays MTV Movie Awards 2016 in LBD

Arianne Suggs April 11, 2016April 11, 2016Leave a Comment

When it comes to style Halle Berry can do no wrong! Halle recently broke social media by starting a personal twitter and Instagram account. Fans loved her aesthetic for the gram, but kept requesting that Berry show her lovely face instead of just nature shots. This past Saturday Halle Berry definitely gave the people what they wanted and then some. The insanely beautiful actress decided to shut down the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards 2016 in a sexy LBD (little black dress). Halle Berry looked absolutely fabulous in a Noam Hanoch dress with jewels (rings) by Sylva and Cie. The cut-out and lace details highlighted Berry’s killer bod and shape.

Black was definitely a trend at the MTV Movie Awards 2016. Several other actresses and models wore the classic tint as well. We spotted Nischelle Turner in a black Roberto Cavalli jumpsuit accessorized with shoes by Giuseppe Zanotti.

Halle Berry wasn’t the only one looking good and feeling good at the MTV Movie Awards 2016 ceremony. Queen Latifah, Will Smith (sons Trey and Jaden too), The Rock, Tyrese Gibson and Kevin Hart were all having good times. Hart and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson were on hosting duty for the show. While Queen Latifah and Halle Berry presented Will Smith with the Generation award. Smith was honored for his outstanding television and film career as well as activism for diversity in Hollywood.

Hair Notes: As of late, Berry has had several spottings without her signature crop cut. Although we absolutely love her with next to no hair, we are loving her blonde highlighted tresses right now! The color and length is a refreshing look for Halle.

Last night the Golden Globes was chalk full of wonderful surprises from the red carpet to the star-studded after parties. We have to tip our Louboutins to the fabulous Taraji P. Henson who took home some much earned hardware for her performance as Cookie on Fox network’s hit show Empire. Henson won for Best Actress in a Television Drama yet before her name was even called out she had already won us over in the style department!

Taraji P. Henson along with the rest of Tinseltown’s hottest starlets put it down upon arriving in Beverly Hills for all the festivities. Numerous fashion trends were spotted including bold tints, sequins, cut-outs, capes and metallics. Length also played a key role in the fashion drama as most ladies chose to adorn themselves in floor-length gowns.

Let us not forget accessories because thou-eth would be a sin and no ensemble is truly complete without them. Many actresses opted for a clutch in order to tote their valuables and bling was absolutely everywhere. Diamonds and Swarovski found its way on our favorite stars in the form of earrings, rings, bracelets, heels and handbags. Lovely Gabrielle Union even wore a jewel encrusted headband with her monochromatic design.
