Halle Berry Fashion Transformation

Halle Berry made heated headlines when she emerged on the red carpet looking hot as ever, mere months after giving birth to beautiful baby daughter Nahla. New mommy Halle was born with her beauty, but not with her effortless high style. Watch her transform.

Halle began her long, slow climb towards the heights of Hollywood power in the early '90s. Berry blossomed opposite Eddie Murphy in the romantic comedy 'Boomerang' in 1992, and never looked back. Here she shows off her bangin' body in a strapless sheath at the 24th Annual NAACP Image Awards that same year.

At the premiere of of 'Losing Isaiah,' Halle shows off her fabulous figure again, but in a dress fit for a geriatric version of Ice Capades. The beauty and the brains were there, but unfortunately, not the money to hire a hard-hitting Hollywood stylist. Still, 'Losing Isaiah' would prove to be a showcase for Halle's capacity for serious roles.

Still more B-lister than megastar, Halle Berry attended the 16th Annual Cable ACE Awards in 1995 in a remnant gown from her beauty pageant days -- or at least this looked to be the case.

In a career of many firsts, Berry became the first black bond girl, playing the character Giacinta 'Jinx' Johnson in 2002's 'Die Another Day.' Her official status an as international sex symbol was permanently cemented with her perfect appearance in this classic bikini.

With the fame came the money, and in Halle's case, came the power and respect. As she walked down the red carpet in this elegant yet electrifying Elie Saab gown, did she know she was destined to make history as the first and only black woman to win the Best Actress Academy Award? At the top of her game, Halle had her career and her personal style in a choke hold in 2002. Flawless!

In 2003, Berry picked up her well-deserved NAACP image award wearing this unfortunately nipple-bearing dress with subtle punk accessories. Perhaps that gorgeous body got her to the top, but shame for trying to use it to keep her there. Can she permanently go from trash to class?

At the 60th Annual Golden Globe Awards in 2003, Halle took it old Hollywood. Perhaps a little too old. Even Helen Mirren would think this dress was too demure for a lovely young woman at the peak of her sexiness. But it does show off her comely shape -- a great asset for Berry that's never failed her.

Once a woman reaches the top, perhaps she can let her guard down. Or maybe being a star means being constantly followed by the cameras? Whatever the reason, as Halle's status rose we began to see more of her in casual looks running errands. Plain colors and t-shirts make-up her carefree look during this 2004 shopping spree.

Now a woman of means and power, Halle Berry has developed a red carpet look that is fierce, powerful, sleek and sexy. Not showing too much or too little skin, and having the money to buy the best, she gives great glam at the 2005 Emmy Awards.
