The Rise & Shine of Halle Berry
Halle Berry looks frakkin’ gorgeous in the April 2007 issue of InStyle!!
Here are some highlights from Halle’s interview with InStyle:
- On keeping a pair of Mickey Mouse blue jeans that she’s had since she was 15: “It’s my annual test — I try them on once a year, and if I can still fit into them, then all is good in the world!” (JJ Note: She still fits them. That is INSANE!)
- On her first impressions of her current squeeze, male model Gabriel Aubry: “After my last relationship broke up I was feeling like, well, it wasn’t that I didn’t want to be in a relationship. it’s just that I thought it would be OK to be on my own. But he was disarmingly sweet and caring and different. In the past I’ve been attracted to (gesturing) big personalities. Gabriel was shy. He hardly talked to me at first. I had to work at this a little. It wasn’t a slam dunk; it wasn’t the guy just showering affection on me. It made it more interesting. We were equally matched — put it that way.”
- On Gabriel’s fashion sense: “He has certainly raised the bar. (laughs) He’s a fashionista. (looks at Gabriel’s watch that she’s wearing) It feels nice knowing it’s his. Now if he wears my stuff we’ve got a problem!”
- On her and Gabriel’s shared interest of golf: “I’m not good at it. And it eats at me that I can’t master it, can’t get my brain around it. I even had lessons with David Leadbetter, one of the best instructors in the world. I just want to be a decent golfer and have the guys be happy that I’m with them, not like ‘Oh, damn, here comes Halle.’ “
- On how she’s going to raise her kids in the future: I definitely want children. Very much. I want my kids to realize it’s only through hard work that any success or real joy comes. It’s not about money; it’s the intangible rewards — having integrity and doing what you say you’re going to do. My mom is that way.”
- On her last meal: French toast with more syrip than anybody should, a bowl of pasta and give orders of bananas Foster.” (As a diabetic, Halle could not eat this meal in real life.)
Run out and buy those Gublo pumps. Those babies are hot.

Thanks JJ. Great article. Haven’t seen the video from the photo shoot yet, but did see the awesome 7-8 photos from the photo shoot. I don’t even want to think about getting back into my old pair of Calvins, even though I still have two St. John’s knit dresses I am hoping to get back into. Cute about the Rolex, little high schoolish, but still cute nevertheless. Glad she is becoming happy and learning what she wants out of life. Rather refreshing to read on this blog for a change.
Another awesome article is her interview in the April 2007 Reader’s Digest.

Shared interests in art and design. We all know about her dragging him all over Cali and the Big Apple shopping. Still say he’s a flamer and Halle’s trying to change him like she tried to change Eric from his philandering ways. Other than that I agree it was a good article too.
Looks like Page Six was wrong…no proposal….she didn’t say he’s moved in yet whether implied or not. How come no comments yet from LOL3, HalleGabriel or GoHalle!?
Can’t we do without the gay innuendos on at least one Halle and Gabe JJ reference.
I love Halle. I think she is beautiful but what kind of example is she setting for young girls saying if she fits in her same jeans that she wore when she was 15 than everything is alright. At 15 I was 95 pounds and now at 24 Im 115 pounds and I don’t consider myself fat at all but I know I can’t fit in my pants that I wore when I was 15.
Halle has never been stick thin - that is why she can still fit into her MM jeans! She looks voluptuous and healthy, and her face is beautiful. I loved her in Monster’s Ball with Billy Bob. She is a great actress, but somehow she always ends up heartbroken with abusive/and or cheating men. I hope she finds true love.
Halle is very shapely. Not to get too racial, but she has curves typical of many black women who are in shape. There is muscularity there and it gives the body good shape and curves if you aren’t carrying too much body fat. Halle is a great role model. Her weight has remained pretty stable over the years. With marriages and divorces and bad relationships… she still manages to take excellent care of her body and it shows.
I’ve always admired Halle’s stellar, quadroon like beauty and I am glad she has maintained it. I’m also a big fashion follower and am a fan of Gabriel’s. I hope they have a happy future together.
