Halle Berry had a fun, full circle moment this week!
The 58-year-old actress walked the runway at the The 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab event on Wednesday night (November 13) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but it was what she was wearing that caught the attention of fans.
Halle re-wore her iconic 2002 Oscars dress, an Elie Saab classic! Halle won the Best Actress Oscar in 2002 for her work in Monster’s Ball, making history as the first Black Woman to win the Best Actress Oscar, and launching the brand into the spotlight simultaneously.

Elie told Vogue Australia, “Halle Berry made the name Elie Saab more popular… She managed to really put the name Elie Saab on the international market. [That time] was a better time for cinema in general. [Halle Berry] was the first woman of color [to receive the Oscar award for Best Actress in 2002]… It was elegant and daring and chic. I think this moment was a very exceptional moment for cinema.”
