Halle Berryrocked a hairstyle right out ofX-Menfor her appearance at the2022 Critics Choice Awards.
The actress, 55, walked the red carpet Sunday with a partially shaved and bleached style similar to what wore when she played Storm in 2000’sX-Menand multiple subsequent films in the action franchise.
Berry buzzed the side of her head, where she left her hair dark brown, but bleached the other strands, which she styled swept across her forehead in an asymmetrical chop.

Berry paired her bold hairstyle with statement earrings and a sleek black velvet Dolce & Gabbana suit. Berry wore a white corset under her suit jacket with a mesh bodice.
Her cut and color gave a modern twist to Storm’s signature hair, which was black and platinum in later films in the franchise, and similarly cropped in the latestX-Meninstallment.
Berry played Storm four times: first in 2000, and later in 2003’sX2: X-Men United, 2006’sX-Men: The Last Standand 2014’sX-Men: Days of Future Past.
Berry is receiving the sixth annual SeeHer Award during this year’s Critics Choice Awards. The honor recognized a woman “who advocates for gender equality, portrays characters with authenticity, defies stereotypes and pushes boundaries,” according to theCritics Choice Awards website.

While appearing on the red carpet, Berry chatted about directing her first film this year with Netflix’sBruised.
“Women, our stories have been told largely through the eyes of men,” she said. “To now be standing up and directing, producing and writing and starring in, all at the same time, we’re changing our narrative for ourselves and it’s a really exciting time.”
