Halle Berry ‘Stormed’ Critics’ Choice Awards 2022 With Classic ‘X-Men’ Haircut
Director and actor of Bruised, Halle Berry, arrived at the Critics’ Choice Awards 2022 sporting one of her classic 2000s haircuts. Halle Berry movies and TV shows have spanned countless genres, but comic book fans know her as Storm of the X-Men (2000) films. While she did not earn accolades of the 2022 Critics Choice Awards best dressed, she certainly brought back the nostalgia of a young Halle Berry.
What outfit did Halle Berry’s ‘X-Men’ haircut pair with?
All the Hollywood stars came out to the red carpet. On the official Halle Berry Instagram, the actor teased her haircut for the Critics’ Choice Awards 2022 with the caption “toasting evaluation, next acts, and reinventions!” with a winking emoji.
Halle Berry arrived “in a black velvet suit by Dolce and Gabbana, which featured a blazer with sharp lapels and wide-leg trousers,” Yahoo! Life reported. “Creating a slick appearance was a white corset top, which featured a structured bodice with sheer panels and a plunging neckline.”
Berry also sported flashy “rounded white, green, and silver statement earrings.”
As she strutted down the carpet, comic book movie fans likely had their attention drawn to her hair. While the Fox X-Men franchise might be considered campy by today’s standards set by the Marvel Cinematic Universe, some believe the films starring Halley Berry as Storm to have started the superhero craze.
What was Halle Berry’s ‘X-Men’ haircut at the 2022 Critics Choice Awards
Halle Berry’s hairstyle at the Critics’ Choice Awards 2022 certainly evoked Ororo Munroe, aka Storm, from the live-action X-Men movies. However, it was not exact.
Besides the obvious lack of lightning and whipping winds to flare out her white hair, Berry wore her hair cut “in a pixie style with bold white streaks” down the left side of her face.
Halle Berry has always pulled off shorter haircuts extremely well. Some would say she’s known for her messy or shaggy pixie cuts. And she brought it back again for the 2022 Critics Choice Awards.
However, it was likely a good thing that attention stayed on her hair, as fans hilariously noted that they could not see her whole outfit. Her pants completely covered her shoes.
Fans struggled to see the ‘Bruised’ director and actor’s whole attire
As her boyfriend, Van Hunt, accompanied Halle Berry down the red carpet, fans tried to glimpse her footwear. However, due to her pants flaring out over her feet, they could not tell what she was wearing.
“It’s likely the actress wore a set of pointed-toe pumps or strappy sandals that coordinated with her look’s neutral tones,” Yahoo! Life theorized about the Halle Berry 2022 Critics Choice Awards style. “The styles are typically her go-to choices for red carpet events like the Bruised and Moonfall premieres in recent months.”
Halle Berry always embraced her style, whether rocking a pixie cut or an X-Men haircut. She even spoke about being herself in her movie roles at the award show.
“I’ve been in the business for 30 years, and I used to think that if I could play the part of a white man, then I was winning. But,” Halle Berry said (via People). “If you didn’t know, I’m not a white man. So, for those roles to work, they would have to be substantially changed. It would have to be written with the reality of my journey, in all of its beauty and all of its pain.”
She certainly knew how to ‘storm’ the 2022 Critics Choice Awards through her clothes and words.
