Halle Berry Wears Sequins and Capris at Cannes • CelebMafia

Halle Berry embraced Elie Saab sequins and capris at a Cannes party, channeling bold elegance while navigating the festival’s strict new dress code.

There’s something quietly rebellious about Halle Berry walking into a Cannes soirée in sequined capris. On May 15, ahead of the 78th Cannes Film Festival, the actress—now a jury member—attended the Nespresso X Brut party in an ensemble that was both polished and provocatively unexpected. Designed by Elie Saab, her fitted, plunging blazer and sparkling cropped pants were a study in contrasts: sleek tailoring against glinting embellishments, masculine lines tempered by feminine flair. A lace-trimmed cami peeked out beneath, while a drawstring bag and classic black pumps grounded the look.

Berry’s shoulder-grazing waves and soft nude makeup added ease to the elegance—nothing too precious, but every detail considered. The look quietly nodded to her long history with Saab, who dressed her for the 2002 Oscars, and it marked a pivot from her original plan.

With Cannes tightening its red carpet rules—banning sheer gowns and voluminous trains—Berry pivoted from a dramatic Gaurav Gupta piece to a sculpted Jacquemus gown on opening night. Her response? Practical, self-aware, and delivered with the kind of seasoned calm only a true icon can manage.
