Halle Berry dazzled on the red carpet at Amazon MGM Studios’ CinemaCon 2025 presentation in Las Vegas, proving that age is just a number.
HALLE BERRY ON THE RED CARPET
At 58, the Oscar-winning actress turned heads in a striking sheer black corset top paired with a structured blazer and pencil skirt.
Her sparkling Aquazzura heels added glamour, while her soft waves and smokey eye accentuated her timeless beauty.
Halle Berry’s co-star Chris Hemsworth, 41, joined her in promoting their upcoming film Crime 101, according to Daily Mail.
HALLE BERRY’S ADVOCACY
The actress’s appearance comes amidst her efforts to destigmatise menopause. She wants to empower women through her wellness platform, Respin.
The actress has been vocal about her challenging transition into menopause. Halle revealed that her symptoms were initially misdiagnosed as herpes, according to USA Today.
This was a shocking experience that spurred her advocacy. Berry candidly shared, “I had great sex and woke up feeling like razor blades were in my vagina.”
WOMEN’S HEALTH AND LONGEVITY
Her doctor diagnosed her with “the worst case of herpes,” but subsequent tests proved otherwise.
Vaginal dryness, a common symptom of perimenopause, directly results from reduced estrogen levels, which cause the vaginal walls to thin and lose moisture.
Berry openly shared, “I realised how little I knew about menopause and questioned how many other women are equally unprepared.”
This revelation led her to rebrand Respin as a platform focused on women’s health and longevity.
HALLE BERRY ON CAPITOL HILL
Among its offerings are innovative products such as an intimate wellness device priced at approximately R9,000 and an intimacy gel for R820.
Berry’s advocacy extends beyond products; she has taken her message to Capitol Hill, urging lawmakers to fund menopause research and education.
“The shame has to be taken out of menopause,” she declared during a speech, according to Fortune.
Her push for legislation aligns with broader efforts to address gaps in women’s healthcare and promote awareness about this natural stage of life.
CRIME 101
Crime 101, directed by Bart Layton, features Berry alongside Hemsworth and Barry Keoghan. They star in a gripping narrative about jewellery thefts linked to Colombian cartels.
Berry’s talent shines in Crime 101, which releases later this year, delivering an exciting showcase of her acting prowess
Despite her Hollywood glamour, Berry remains grounded in her mission to redefine conversations around menopause.
CULTURAL TABOOS
Speaking to Fortune, she emphasised the importance of education. “Menopause isn’t the end—it’s an opportunity for women to thrive.”
Her journey resonates globally, including in South Africa, where discussions about women’s health often face cultural taboos.
Berry’s openness has sparked dialogue about ageing gracefully and embracing change.
EMBRACING HEALTH
She told CBS Morning: “Menopause doesn’t mean dry vaginas or being ‘done.’ Now I’m juicy like a peach!” Her humour underscores her confidence and determination to challenge stereotypes.
As Halle Berry continues to shine on screen and off, she inspires women everywhere to embrace their health journeys with courage and grace.
She advocates tirelessly through her activism and acting, proving that life at 58 can still be fabulous.
