Halle Berry owned the stage at the New York Times DealBook Summit on December 3. She showed up as the icon she is – with a powerful message and a whole lot of style. The actress spoke candidly about aging in Hollywood, living through perimenopause, and why women deserve real support as their bodies change.

Halle Berry Had a Message — and She Didn’t Hold Back

On stage, Halle opened up about how women in their 50s and beyond are often dismissed or straight-up ignored. She shared that women her age are “devalued in this country” and become “invisible” in several places – Hollywood, the workplace, and even on social media.

She also stressed that while she knows aging is a privilege, it’s important that women in later stages of life are supported. Too many women are struggling through symptoms that disrupt their sleep, mood, memory, and sex lives – and still feel alone.

The Boomerang actress also added:

“If men had a medical condition that disrupted their sleep, brain function, and sex life, we’d call it a health crisis on par with Covid. The whole world would shut down.”

Her message was clear: women deserve real care, real conversations, and a culture that actually sees them.

Halle Berry brings CEO-Level Style To The New York Times Stage

As Halle spoke, her mouth wasn’t the only thing doing the talking. Her outfit also made a strong style statement we can’t stop thinking about.

Sis walked out in a tailored black pantsuit that fit so well it looked custom. The blazer was sharp-shouldered with a deep V and a single gold button. The relaxed-fit trousers kept it polished but effortless.

She skipped a blouse, letting the plunging neckline add that signature Halle sexy-but-classy vibe. Her accessories stayed simple: layered gold chains, small gold earrings, and nothing that competed with the suit.

Her hair was styled in a soft, wavy bob framing her face with ease. The makeup? Warm, glowing, natural – contoured lightly, paired with neutral eyeshadow and glossy lips.

Halle Berry, Forever In Her Grown Woman Era

Halle has been in her grown woman bag for years. It doesn’t natter whether she’s dropping a swimsuit pic at 50+, launching a wellness brand, or letting the girls know what perimenopause really looks like. She speaks up, shows up, and looks damn good while doing it.

At the DealBook Summit, she reminded everyone that aging isn’t a downfall – it’s a privilege. And with the right support, women can move through it with power, humor, and a little cleavage if the moment calls for it. Halle Berry is that girl at every age. And at almost 60 years old, she’s not letting the world forget it.
