Halle Berry put on a busty display in a plunging lace bodysuit as she attended the Nespresso x Brut party during the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival on Friday. 

The Catwoman star, 58, looked incredible as she layered her skimpy top under a sparkly black two-piece suit. 

Her outfit featured three-quarter trousers and a structured blazer which boasted large leather lapels. 

Adding an extra hint of glamour, she toted around her belongings in a leather Chanel bag, and added inches to her statuesque frame, as she slipped into a pair of stilettos. 

To finish her chic ensemble, Halle rocked a very shirt highlights bob and accessorised with a pair of large square sunglᴀsses. 

Her red carpet appearance comes after she revealed she was forced to make a last-minute change to the dress she’d planned to wear for the Film Festival’s opening ceremony, due to the event’s strict new rules on risqué gowns.

The actress is no stranger to stunning with her looks, and even went underwear-free in her daring dress at the Met Gala last week.

But as this year’s festival kicked off with its opening ceremony on Tuesday, Halle confessed she had to reconsider the outfit she’d planned, as its long train breached the festival’s new rules.

Over the weekend, Cannes organisers released strict new guidelines in an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for ‘naked dresses’ – namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal – on the red carpet.

Speaking at the festival’s first press conference, Halle said: ‘I had an amazing dress by Gupta to wear tonight, and I cannot wear it because the train is too big. 

‘Of course, I’m going to follow the rules, so I had to make a pivot. But the nudity part, I do think, is probably also a good move.’

The American actress was also asked her thoughts on calls for a female incarnation of James Bond, following the rights to the franchise being acquired by Amazon.

Halle insisted there shouldn’t be a female Bond, saying: ‘I don’t know if 007 really should be a woman. 

‘I mean, in 2025, it’s nice to say, Oh, she should be a woman, but I don’t really know if I think that’s the right thing to do.’

To finish her chic ensemble, Halle rocked a very shirt highlights bob and opted for a natural-looking makeup look

The star has joined big names including Juliette Binoche and Jeremy Strong on this year’s Cannes Jury.

‘This is a huge honour to be asked to be a part of this jury,’ Halle added.

‘This is one of the biggest film festivals in the world. As we talked about in our jury meeting, careers are made in this festival, and so I take it as a real honour to be here and share this experience with these wonderful jurors.

‘My expectations are to be a part of this jury and get to know all these wonderful people that are part of this experience. I expect to see wonderful films.’

‘I don’t think there’s any preparation. I think just being in film for 30 years, I do think I have a unique perspective. We all do. We all have a unique perspective when we watch film. 

The actress is no stranger to stunning with her bold looks, and even went underwear-free in her raunchy dress at the Met Gala last week

‘No one person owns the truth. All we will be able to do, the nine of us, is to give our own individual perspectives on all the movies that we’re going to see. I look forward to hearing what everybody else has to say. 

‘That’s the beauty that makes us human, is that we’re all different and we all see things from our different cultural backgrounds, our family of origin, our age, our gender. 

‘I’m looking forward to the conversations and really seeing what brings us together, but also sometimes those things that separate us because that’s also beautiful.’

Over recent years, the star-studded extravaganza has arguably won more attention for the outfits worn by its celebrity guests than the roster of feature films being screened on the Croisette.
