Halle's New Do
Halle has made her way back to short hair, and it looks great! Check out the new haircut and color (and her fab shades!):
What do you think? Is it a hit or a miss?
| Not even A-list celebrities have good hair days every day |
 Universally recognized as one of the most beautiful and stylish celebrities in the world, Halle Berry rarely looks less than perfect. Here are this amazing beauty's "love it," and "leave it," looks. |
Halle Berry Covers Harper's Baazar
Halle Berry graces the cover of the May issue Harper's Bazaar (wow, they finally put a woman of color, any color, on the cover).
She's rocking a cute, retro, honey-brown wig in the photos for the interview, but I must point out that I do not appreciate this ridiculous wig they put on Halle for the cover. I mean, who thought this was a good look?
Oh well. She looks great nevertheless.

Fragrance Review: Halle by Halle Berry
I decided to pop into Kohls last night to check out Halle Berry's new fragrance, and I am sooo glad I did. Truth be told, I was probably going to buy Halle's perfume regardless of whether I loooved it or not (I strongly support brown beauties with big beauty deals). I figured, even if its not so great, how bad could it be? It was on sale, so I decided I could support my girl Halle for 20 bucks.
After spritzing some on my wrists, I wandered around the store a bit to let it settle in. And let me tell you, I could not stop smelling my wrists. This stuff is that good. I can only imagine what I looked like on the store security cameras, walking around smelling myself.
This fragrance is an interesting mix of sweet and sultry. At first smell, Halle is sweet and slightly fruity, feminine and summery. As the scent lingers, spicier, more musky notes begin to come out, and the fragrance takes on a sultrier, sexier scent. Mmmm. Sexy and sweet. I love it!
I'm not one to wear fragrance every day, but the first thing I did this morning was spritz some of this on. And, yes, I'm still smelling my wrists.
Halle did a bang up job on her fragrance debut, and this is one celebrity scent you should definitely check out!
Best in Beauty: The OSCARS
Last night Hollywood came out to celebrate the best in film, so Beautè Noire is celebrating the best in Oscar beauty!
Best in Beauty: Oscar Edition!
Viola Davis looked stunning! The subtle use of bronzer made her skin glow, and I loved her berry lipcolor and soft curls. She really seems to be into full, sexy hair these days.
Taraji rocked her usual sleek and stylish bob and added a bit of extra volume at the roots for some extra lift. And I thought her dress and statement jewelry was amazing. She really turned it out for her big night!
Zoe Saldana kept it simple and pretty.
I am really loving this look on Tanika Ray. She blew her usually wild and sexy tight curls out for softer, looser, more romantic curls. A smokey pink/plum eye and frosted pink lip color round out the look.
Serena Williams looked so incredibly lovely in this look. She was defintetley channeling a 50s screen siren with her Marilyn Monrow-like curls and soft, smokey eye. Her sheer and shiney pink lipgloss perfectly finished the look.
Rosario Dawon made an appearance at the Vanity Fair After-Party looking great, as usual.
Robin Roberts looked great as well. I love that she wore a gown from J. Crew. How's that for Recessionista chic?
Queen Latifah looked amazing! She kept her look simple and natural, and turned up the glam with bronzed skin and lots of lashes.
Niecey Nash opted for a bronzed look as well. She usually goes for such bold colors, this was a good change-up for her. Hey, where's her usual Billie Holiday flower?
The lovely Laila Ali.
Keisha Whitaker looking cute and fab, as usual.
I have no idea who John Legend's date is, but she looked great. Loved the hair and makeup. Loved the dress.
Jada Pinkett-Smith's skin and makeup were flawless (as always), but I wish she had styled her braids a little more creatively. I'm not really feeling the dress either.
Halle Berry looking stunning. No surprise there!
Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon looked fantastic. I love a dark eye and pink lip. One of my fave go-to beauty looks.
Best in Beauty? Not So Much.
While so many of the ladies looked stunning, a few missed the mark. Surprisingly, each of these ladies usually looks amazing, so hopefully they were just having an off night.
Everything Eve's look is too light. The hair color is too close to her skin color, and her makeup looks too light. She just looks washed out.
Sigh. This look is flat out boring. Especially on Beyonce, who usually loves to turn out a unique and dramatic look. At least her dress was cute.
Kinda.
Whoa. So much went so wrong here. Chalky pink eyeshadow + heavy handed liquid eyeliner + mauve lipstick = Not a good look for Alicia Keys. And I won't even start in on that wig. And she's been looking so fierce lately! Uggh!!
Tichina Arnold, matching your eyeshadow to your dress is never a good idea. Even more so if your dress is red!
All in all, the ladies looked pretty fab. Agree? Disagree?

Emmy Winner Alfre Woodard hosted a ladies dinner in honor of Oscar Nominees Taraji P. Henson and Viola Davis before this Sunday's award show. All of the ladies looked pretty fabulous.
Alfre with Taraji and Viola.
Tracee Ellis Ross made an appearance, along with Kimberly Elise, Regina Hall and Regina King. Love Tracee's look, and Ms. Alfre is working that pose!
The ladies looking fab at dinner.
Halle Berry looking ridiculously gorgeous post-baby.
Not really feeling Regina King's look this time around, but glad to see her nonetheless!
Sanaa Lathan's makeup was fresh and pretty.
Angela Bassett chatted the ladies up.
I'm loving Viola's retro 50's look and sexy hair, and Taraji's dress and shoes are to die!So good to see fabulous Black women coming together to celebrate one another! Good luck to Taraji and Viola!

Beauty News: Halle Berry's New Fragrance
Halle Berry's new fragrance, Halle by Halle Berry, is finally set to launch next month. WWD reports that the fragrance will have Halle's favorite notes of fig and mimosa. Other notes include bergamot, pear blossom, freesia, hibiscus, ultra mimosa, sandalwood, driftwood, cashmere musk, olibanum and sensual amber.
The March issue of Ebony (p.58) lists the price at $30 at Kohls, though I understand it will be available at Target, JC Penney and drugstores as well, which I'm rather upset about. If Sara Jessica Parker, J.Lo and Mariah Carey can be in Macy's, Bloomies and the like, why can't Halle? Hell, even Paris Hilton's fragrance got to be in department stores! I don't know, maybe they were trying to make her fragrance more accessable. But, still...
At any rate, I can't wait to smell this. I'm a big fan of Halle, so this is one celebrity fragrance I might actually buy! Check out the March issue of Essence (p. 34-35) to see Halle's new 2-page ad.
Thanks to Fashion Manifesto for the photo.
