Elie Saab net dress of Halle Berry

Halle Berry at the Academy Awards, March 2002 Berry won Best Actress for Monster's Ball in a burgundy Elie Saab gown with a sheer mesh bodice and embroidered flowers, and Saab has credited the night with making his name more widely known. The gown has since gone on display at the Academy Museum, and Berry wore it again on Saab's runway in Riyadh in 2024. It is the red-carpet look from this list that has aged best: the sheer-bodice idea is everywhere at award shows now, and the original still looks current rather than dated.
