Halle Berry Embraces the Empire

An empire waist is the best thing ever invented for a baby body. It skims the bump while allowing you to show plenty of skin up top. Halle Berry wore a royal blue Versace gown straight off the Spring ‘08 runway to a London Film Festival screening of her movie Things I Lost in the Fire. The empire waisted style draped around her baby bump and showed off her amazing décolletage. But the best thing about this Versace dress is the view from the rear. The back is…well, back and the intricate series of criss-cross straps and braiding showed off her toned shoulders and amazing skin.
Berry carried her chic look to the Rome launch of Roberto Cavalli for H&M where she wore an ebony maxidress with jeweled embellishment on the bodice — by Cavalli, natch.
