"Wrong in so many ways" — Internet reacts to Halle Berry's risqué LaQuan Smith dress at 2025 Met Gala

Actress Halle Berry attended the 2025 Met Gala in a LaQuan Smith gown and a blazer. This marks her return to the fashion event after almost eight years. The last time she attended the event was in 2017.

As described by InStyle, Berry’s dress had a deep neckline, decorated with beaded stripes and a long train. A veiled fascinator from Jennifer Behr and sparkling Cartier jewelry complemented her look. Her hair was styled in a smooth bun, and her makeup featured a smoky eye and natural lipstick.

Meanwhile, social media users had mixed reactions to her outfit. While some appreciated it, others had a few critical comments to add. An X user commented:

“Wrong in so many ways.”

Although many social media users wrote that Halle Berry looked beautiful in the outfit, others suggested it was bold.

“Still beautiful as ever!!!” a netizen reacted.

“Went for daring,” a person wrote on X.

“You are too Iconic for this, fire them tmw,” a social media user mentioned.

A few X users defended Halle Berry from the negative comments, and others compared her with Cher.

“Thought this was Cher in Bob Mackie design!” another X user reacted.

“Seriously dont get why everyone so upset with her look n acting like she not the first person to be showing so much like she not the only one who did it like it's her style the way she wanted her outfit like always,” a netizen defended her.

Halle Berry on aging and physical appearances

In a September 2024 interview with Marie Claire, Halle Berry shared that she had always believed she was more than just her appearance. She felt that as her looks began to change with time, people might finally start paying attention beyond her looks. She said:

“It might feel good to have everybody look at you, but it’s always been a hollow win for me because I had nothing to do with how I came here looking.”

She went on:

“I do have everything to do with the kind of mother that I am, the kind of partner that I’ve been, the movies that I’ve been a part of, the acting accolades I’ve garnered over the years, my charity work. I do take ownership over those things that I’ve worked really hard at, and if somebody finds value in those things that lights me up.”

Speaking of aging, Halle Berry believed age was just a label given at birth and felt that women were judged by it more than men. She said this mindset could hold women back or make them doubt themselves. Instead, she encouraged others to reject those limitations and do whatever felt right for them, on their terms.

At a past Met Gala, Berry wore a see-through jumpsuit by Atelier Versace that was decorated with beads. The black and gold outfit also featured a long, scalloped skirt.
