We do not know if there is something in the water, but folks have been really losing their minds over Halle Berry and Tracee Ellis Ross’s recent outfit posts.
Halle Berry
Halle Berry has always been regarded as a stunning icon since the ’90s, but it seems as if the fashion police has taken issue with her latest ensemble.
On Monday, Aug. 12, the actress attended the Los Angeles premiere of her new spy film, “The Union.”
While most agree that the 57-year-old continues to impress with her striking looks, it was her outfit that stole the spotlight that evening.

As you can see above, our forever ‘cat woman’ opted for a chic short bob, with a black, long-sleeved dress crafted from mesh and lace to match. While the sheer outfit certainly turned heads, it didn’t win over everyone, as many viewers expressed their disapproval.
One person wrote,
“Must be a mid life crises that she keeps showing so much skin lately. Not a good look.”
“Can we stop with the underwear dresses/ outfits already??? you can do better Halle.”
“Halle is a beautiful woman, but that outfit is not age appropriate…,” they said, “I’m wondering why all these women of a certain age want to dress like young girls..I believe it is because they don’t want to accept that they’re getting old and want to capture their youth and fit in with the rest of the younger generation..You can still dress sexy in a more elegant way and not show all of your assets.”
With all that said, this is Halle’s birthday week and twitter made it very clear that we are not tolerating any Halle Berry slander.
positive comments rolled in to drown out the negativity.
halle is aging like fine wine

But the comments AGAIN!…were not giving!
One person said:
Thirst trapping at the age of 51 is Insane
Nasty work
If she wasn’t a celebrity she’d be labeled a failure & a loser cuz why you ain’t at home with a husband & children who had children…
She is a victim of modern day feminism

In 2023 Tracee spoke candidly about what it feels like to turn 50.
On the Today Show the ‘Blackish’ actress said:
“I’m 50 years old and I like to kick!”
“I think I’m the sexiest I’ve ever been. I feel fantastic and I feel like the world is my oyster,”.
In other words, women of a certain age who have had the privilege to be healthy strong and liberated can post/wear whatever the hell they want as long as they are comfortable.
Let us know if you agree!
