At the 2025 Met Gala, Halle Berry made a stunning return in a custom LaQuan Smith gown featuring sheer mesh and black beaded stripes, blending "Bond girl" allure with Harlem Renaissance elegance. She paired the mermaid-style dress with a cropped tuxedo jacket, black net veil, and strappy heels. Berry accessorized with Cartier's Tsagaan snow leopard necklace and matching earrings, totaling over 35 carats of diamonds and onyx, crafted over 1,455 hours. Her look embodied the gala's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," celebrating bold self-expression and Black excellence.
