Halle Berry Dyed Her Hair Purple—and Showed Off Her Natural Texture

Halle Berry said it best: “I know I look like I’m doing nothing, but my hair is quite busy.” There’s no better way to prove the latter part of that point than with quite a dramatic color transformation. The Catwoman actress took to Instagram this past weekend to show off her new—and very bold—violet purple hue. But that’s not all: She also took the opportunity to show off her curly hair texture. 

Now, because Berry can do absolutely no wrong, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that everyone is beyond obsessed with her new look. Even Julianne Moore gave her stamp of approval and dropped a fire emoji in the comments section. Fans took up a similar tune, with one writing: “Jesus Halle that hair is honestly the most spectacular thing I’ve seen in a while. Extremely colorful and artistic!” 

While we may be talking about Halle’s hair color now, it was just a few months ago that the internet was absolutely losing it over her haircut. For the 2022 Critics’ Choice Awards in March, the director debuted a pixie cut with nearly-white side bangs. The edgy cut was thought by many X-Men fans to be a subtle nod to her character, Storm, who also rocked white hair. 

Prior to her pixie era, Berry embraced a shoulder-length style with layers galore. She even took curtain bangs for a spin. On the color front, her hue fell more on the caramel end of the spectrum. Even though she kept that cut for a few years, the Moonfall star has never shied away for a style change. She’s had her hair chopped into a pixie, has taken baby bangs for a spin, and even tested out a bob. With that in mind, we can’t wait to see what look she’s going to whip out next.
