Halle Berry, 59, Defies Age in a Jaw-Dropping Black Bodysuit at ‘Crime 101’ Premiere
Halle Berry continues to define red-carpet excellence, proving that her fashion instincts are as sharp as ever as she enters a major new chapter of her career. The Oscar winner commanded the spotlight at the London premiere of “Crime 101” on Wednesday, Jan. 28, delivering a high-glamour look that perfectly captured the sleek, noir energy of her latest project.
For the star-studded event at the Odeon Luxe in Leicester Square, Berry opted for a daring ensemble that balanced modern edge with classic Hollywood shimmer. She wore a black long-sleeve bodysuit featuring a dramatic plunging neckline that extended to her sternum, creating a bold silhouette.

The centerpiece of the outfit was a metallic, sheer maxi skirt by Ilkyaz Ozel, which was intricately embroidered with circular sequins and tiny pearl beads. The skirt provided a disco-ball effect under the camera flashes, hugging her frame before trailing into a elegant finish.
Berry coordinated the look with black platform heels and a distinctive silver floral pendant necklace. Her beauty look was equally polished, featuring a bronze smoky eye and her hair styled in soft waves with a fresh set of curtain bangs.
In “Crime 101,” which is scheduled for a theatrical release on Feb. 13, Berry stars as Sharon, a disillusioned insurance broker who finds herself in an uneasy alliance with a high-profile thief. The film, directed by Bart Layton and adapted from a Don Winslow novella, features a powerhouse ensemble including Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, and Barry Keoghan.
The premiere comes during an incredibly productive period for the 59-year-old actress and her production company, HalleHolly. Just this week, it was announced that Berry will portray the President of the United States in a new feature film, “The President Is Missing.”
The project, in development at Apple Original Films, is based on the political thriller by Bill Clinton and James Patterson. Berry will play President Joanna Duncan, a role that sees her navigating a national security crisis while operating outside the traditional confines of the White House.
Berry is also set to explore much darker territory in the psychological thriller “Fleur,” which begins filming this March. In that film, she plays a housewife who flees to Paris to reinvent herself as an elite dominatrix, a role already generating significant awards-season buzz.
The London premiere of “Crime 101” was just the beginning of what looks to be a landmark year for the star. With a mix of high-stakes thrillers and personal passion projects on the way, her influence on both the box office and the cultural conversation shows no signs of waning.
