Halle Berry

It looks Halle Berry’s prom night prepared her for what’s in store in her future. Voted co-queen during the dance, she began joining beauty pageants and represented the United States in the 1986 Miss World competition. While she didn’t bring home the crown, the experience later helped her break into show business.

Berry and her signature short hairstyle gained prominence in the ‘90s for films like Boomerang and The Flinstones. In 2002, she became the first African American to win the Oscar for Best Actress for the film Monster’s Ball. She remains a beloved star today as she prepares to appear in the 2022 film Moonfall.
