Halle Berry on Jay Leno

We didn’t love this dress when we saw the pics of her walking out.

Halle Berry makes an appearance on ‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno’ in an asymmetrical dress paired with Christian Louboutin shoes.

We thought it wasn’t doing much for her shape and the color wasn’t telegenic enough. A big ol’ missed opportunity, we sniffed dismissively. But Miss Berry’s been doing this for a good while, and sometimes a couple of queens need to recognize when a pro is being a pro, because …

…then she sat down.

Alrighty then. There you go. We still think the color’s not popping enough and she could’ve used some support, but there’s no question that this dress, on her, paired with those shoes, is a great sit-down choice. It’s riding pretty high, but the asymmetry in the skirt kind of helps maintain an illusion that she’s more covered than she is. She knows what she’s doing.
