Halle Berry’s stylist took to Instagram on Tuesday to coo over her accomplishment of dressing the A-list actress in a very sheer gown at the Met Gala 2025 that raised eyebrows.
Lindsay Flores shared several images of the former Bond girl at the gala in the creation that showed off some of her private parts.
And in her caption Flores wrote, ‘THEY FINE, THEY DANDY,’ as she also showed an image of Halle with her boyfriend Van Hunt.
Lindsay then rattled off Berry’s credits: her dress was by Laquan Smith, jewels by Cartier, makeup by Hung Vanngo, hair by Sara Seward and nails by Kim Truong.
Seward also took to Instagram to glow as she said Berry’s look was ‘magic.’

The dress left fans horrified as Halle went underwear-free on the red carpet in her most risque look ever.
The 58-year-old Oscar-winning actress modeled a plunging, beaded black and sheer striped LaQuan Smith gown, but risked a major wardrobe malfunction every time she moved due to her lack of lingerie.
Parts of her midriff and crotch were exposed in the daring ensemble, which she teamed with a cropped black blazer with shoulder pads.
The actress wasn’t the only star daring to bare: White Lotus star Lisa exposed her underwear, Kim Kardashian showed off her curves, and Sabrina Carpenter and Jenna Ortega opted for no-pant ensembles.
Halle gave guests and viewers at home a further eyeful as she put her ample cleavage on display.
The dress boasted a train, and her look was accented with a small fascinator hat and flashy statement jewelry.
Social media fans branded the star ‘disgraceful’ for flashing her pubic area while others said she looked ‘great’ but urgently needed to cover up.

One person wrote, ‘Halle… my girl. I expected more from you. We get it. The body is bodying and you have aged like a fine, fine wine. But this is not the move.’
Someone else added, ‘Halle Berry is still H๏τ but doesn’t need to dress like that.’
Another disappointed fan zoomed in on a pH๏τo of her hip area and accused her of ‘dropping the ball.’
An angry spectator weighed in, ‘Halle Berry’s outfit was disgraceful. You could see her pubic area,’ with a red-faced emoji.
‘This needs a warning,’ someone else complained while another person simply asked, ‘Where are her undies?’
This year’s Met Gala theme was Superfine: Tailoring Black Style – based on Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Idenтιтy – and the dress code was Tailored for You.
The theme was meant to pay homage to Black dandyism, a style with European roots that started post-Emancipation and came out in full force during the Harlem Renaissance.
Smith told Vogue about his creation, ‘It captures the theme’s message of self-expression and being bold in the way that you look and dress.’
He further noted, ‘The dress’s details showcase the ethos of the theme: exaggerated lines, luxurious fabrics, and sheer boldness.’

He highlighted collaborating with Halle as he shared with Vogue, ‘She knows exactly who she is and has such a clear sense of style, but she’s also incredibly collaborative. During the fittings, she wasn’t just stepping into a garment—she was shaping it with me.’
He recalled, ‘She pushed for certain cuts that enhanced her movement, and we played with sheer panels to strike that perfect balance between elegance and edge. Her input was always intentional, always rooted in how she wanted to feel in the piece—not just how it looked.’
The designer, who also dressed Ciara for the occasion, told People, ‘I’ve always been inspired by the essence of Harlem Renaissance and this jazzy era.
‘For me, sharp tailoring and an exaggerated shoulder is what I’ve always been incorporating in my collections. I love the ’80s as well, and the fearlessness of Josephine Baker, so I think that you’re going to be able to get some of the essence of all of those notes through the design.’

The concept of this year’s gala came from the Costume Insтιтute’s spring exhibition highlighting Black dandyism.
The co-chairs, who hosted the swanky affair, included actor Colman Domingo, Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, rapper A$AP Rocky and musician and Louis Vuitton men’s creative director Pharrell Williams. LeBron James will also join, acting as honorary chair.
Around 600 were expected, with athletes Simone Biles and Sha’Carri Richardson among them.
The official guest list is customarily kept under wraps, but the A-list lineup leaked on Monday, hours before stars started arriving.
The evening was full of unexpected and noteworthy moments.
Diana Ross had a grand arrival as she wore a dramatically long white cape, upstaging Zendaya at one point.
Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner walked the red carpet alone while boyfriend Timothée Chalamet skipped out on the event for a boys night.
And Rihanna revealed a baby bump as she announced she is expecting her third child with A$AP Rocky.
