Halle Berry has never shied away from a sartorial trend, but she always makes it her own – infusing each look with her signature fashion repertoire: high-octane glamour, sheer fabrics, and thigh-high slits, all crafted by some of the industry’s most coveted labels.
Naturally, in an era where the naked dress is reigning supreme, the 59-year-old had to add a touch of glitz to pull off the ultimate twist. Halle graced the premiere of Crime 101 in London on January 28, with all eyes on her scene-stealing look.
The actress donned a sheer metallic maxi skirt by The New Arrivals Ilkyaz Ozel that was embellished with silver chainmail-inspired gems. The glistening garment was styled with a deep V black bodysuit that hugged every contour of her body. Halle accessorized with a dangling silver floral pendant necklace and a stack of silver rings. The sultry look was finished with a pair of black open-toe heels.

The star's daring ensemble arrives after a year where the naked dress peppered the saratrial set. Standout moments included Margot Robbie's jeweled custom Armani Privé look, Dakota Johnson and Demi Moore’s lace creations by Gucci, and Lily Allen’s striking Coleen Allen 'revenge dress'.

Crime 101 is packed with A-list Hollywood talent, stars Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, Barry Keoghan, Mark Ruffalo and Monica Barbaro, and tells the story of Davis, an "elusive thief" who stages a high-stakes, multi-million-dollar heist. The movie is an adaptation of bestselling author Don Winslow's novella of the same name.

Halle stars as the "disillusioned insurance broker" Sharon, who crosses paths with Davis. The synopsis reads: "He's planning his biggest ever score – hoping it'll be his last – when his path collides with Sharon (Halle Berry), a disillusioned insurance executive whom he's forced to work with, and Orman (Barry Keoghan), a rival thief with far more disturbing methods than Davis's.
"As the multi-million-dollar heist approaches, relentless detective Lt. Lubesnik (Mark Ruffalo) closes in on the operation, raising the stakes even higher, and the line between hunter and hunted starts to blur. Each of them is soon forced to confront the cost of their respective choices – and the realisation that there's no turning back."
