Halle Berry - “Esquire” November 2008

Halle Berry - “Esquire” November 2008

Halle Berry has been dubbed the “Sexiest Woman Alive” in the November 2008 issue of Esquire.

The mag’s inside photo spread features Halle looking sexy, modeling tank tops with Esquire covers printed on the front.

“I don’t know exactly what it means, but being 42 and having just had a baby, I think I’ll take it,” says Halle, who gave birth to daughter Nahla six months ago. “Sexiness is a state of mind — a comfortable state of being. It’s about loving yourself in your most unlovable moments… I share this title with every woman, because every woman is a nominee for it at any moment.”

Read the feature WRITTEN by Halle Berry herself at Esquire.com. Apparently she’s a forearm girl!

she looks pretty gorg , but its not fair . . . didn’t she like give birth ?

HOW IN THE FACKING WORLD DOES SHE LOOK THAT TONED?

my step mom gave birth to my step twins 8 years ago ; and she’s STILL a fattie who never get up from her lazy asss to do anything.

lucky Halle , and her boyfriend (or husband? : | ) is veeery niiice! : D

Damn!! Halle’s rocking those tshirts! She’s so hot!

Sarah Palin an MILF? Compared to Halle, Hell NO!

# 5

everything from her complexion to her arms, to her tummy to her everything is perfect. gosh, lucky girl!

Hey seems like granma is trying too hard to look young, she is so ridiclous,sorry halle but you’re 42 now, you could even get naked on the cover and play a streaper you’ll not change the fact that you’re old, and that’s your time is counting in hollywood, you’re not helping and doing your career a favor like this,that looks like a smell of Demi Moore at her 40’s with her movie streaptease at a that age these kind of old grannies are ready for anything and go crasy for the attention to look young. Pathetic .

WAY TO GO HALLE. NOT BAD FOR 42.

I wonder why women take photos like that. It is so shallow.

# 9

I think that is a good choice. Everyone sells themsevles out for in Hollywood.

mccain smells @ 10/07/2008 at 6:00 pm

She looks very good for a 40 year old. Lots of men will get bonners for sure.

Fake boobs, Fake nose….what else ? surgery egerie…sorry but im into the natural type of beauty i perfer the natural beauties , not the fake *** look .

She is a Yoga fanatic and works out constantly. It’s a good idea, particularly when you’re past 40.

The pictures looked painted wow that’s what i call photoshopped to death.

I think Halle is and has always been extremely beautifull with a banging body BUT, she never evoques for me ’super S EX’., you know the kinda vibes that gives you a heart attack and chills everytime you see her. It’s like Charlize, they are damn fine but the ‘hot’ thing they are not.

I don’t know, i think that Robin Givens was insanly hot but less beautiful. At some point Elizabeth Hurley, Monica belluci, Sade were hot….I don’t know something with the body movements, a feline grace, the stare, the voice or a combination of all of that and much more…

Now one very, very hot mama with a banging body and some hotness vibes is : STACY DASH !!!

bitchetta @ 10/07/2008 at 6:14 pm

Halle sure hasn’t gotten her figure back since she gave birth……she still looks fat……is that why she kept that t-shirt on cause her midriff is still fucked up…….with all that money, girl, go get a trainer and tone up that mid-section. Still fat.

that's low @ 10/07/2008 at 6:20 pm

Im sure your littel daughter will be proud of you halle , proud seeing her mama pictured legs opened, what an example, show some self estime geez you are 42 and had a baby, what would you do next for attention to sell yourself ,where will be the limit ? whoring your daughter with you maybe ?

Halle is fab at 42. And I love the way she looks now. She is sexier and happier being over 40 and a mom. Halle you go girl!

Does she have a movie to sell at least ?in other words is she doing her actress-job ? or she did it just to sell her body and private life ?

i love Halle i think she’s hot but most of all i like her personality.

i love Halle i think she’s hot but most of all i like her personality.

I LOVE IT!!! Hate all you want to TROLLS! Halle is sexy and beautiful. GET OVER IT!

That reminds me of charlize theron’s 2007 esquire sexiest woman alive pics whene she was wearing a top as well , i like them both.

She looks awesome, and has a fantastic body… You can criticize all you want but she’s gorgeous, too bad she isn’t such a great actress :)

Stop hating *******, Halle is just being herself.

why assume that its white girls that are hating? wtf, im not black & i’ve been saying how i like Halle. Whoever said that it’s the white women who are hating on Halle is a very stupid person.

Halle looks great for 42! And I am black but I don’t think all white women are hating on Halle. There’s pessamistic people in each race. But I do think Halle looks nice.

@# 19 levis

Does she have a movie to sell at least ?in other words is she doing her actress-job ? or she did it just to sell her body and private life ?

NO, she is just doing her ******-media hoe -job ,she need this to live,and then she got the nerve to talk about the “privacy” lol .

dkdk/ what i don’t like the most is her fake personality, her fake hypocrite personality of media ****,all what she is doing now is selling her private life but then she screams about her private life???.and don’t get me started with her freak disorder personality issues, and the way she treat badly her assistants .

Wonder how much her people paid for her to get this title. She is hardly the sexiest! No, I’m not white either. There are far sexier black women (Nicole Ari-Parker, Kerry Washington, Nia long, Gabrielle Union etc.) that’s for sure!

she looks awesome well deserving of the title :D

Halle is a very beautiful woman, beautiful skin and nice personality but sexiness I think is when a woman without showing you any skin, looks at you or touches you and you just overwhelming yearn for her. If a look or touch from a woman can do that, then that’s sexy. Few woman in hollywood ooz sexiness.

Halle is ONE OF the most beautiful women alive. Not THE MOST beautiful. I’m not haten but there are OTHER beautiful black women in hollywood besides Halle. I am so sick of these stupid white magazines crissening HALLE allllllll the time. Again, I am not haten. I am a fan of Halle’s but this is ridiculous. I think thy do this because she is half white. And that’s STUPID. Soooo many BEAUTIFUL BLACK women in hollywood don’t get recognized and its not fair. Thank God for black publication like Smooth mag, Black Men mag, Ebony, Jet, and so many others who give us the beauty of ALLL shades of black women. I am so glad these magazines are MORE versitile.

What the hell?

There are sexier women than her.

And her arms are fat.

Halle looks amazing. She’s 42 and just had a baby, she’s fabulous. Love her!

Go Halle! @ 10/07/2008 at 8:43 pm

Halle Berry’s skin looks so golden and creamy — like those divine Dove chocolates. I am so happy because she is so happy, and the ugly jealous people can’t do anything to ruin her happiness. I am more fond of Halle now than I ever was in the years past when she was still dating and marrying those bozos. Her good fortune was destined because she’s such a good, decent gal. She’s beautiful inside and outside. Love her.

halle looks better than most women do at 19, 25, 30, 40, or 50. goddess. losers who can’t see it are bitter. hot hot hot hot hot woman. she could take your man anytime anywhere.

Halle's t & a.... @ 10/07/2008 at 9:07 pm

Halle pimping herself again as she always does like all of the t & a pictures from most of her career.

Go Halle! She looks amazing.

wow, im shocked at all the hate. i really am wow.

yes why do female A stars pose for these silly mags. i dunno the same reason the beauty market is a billion dollar industry. why dont u question yourself next time u buy mascara why are u really buying it. to approve/enchance your appearance to look more appealing shesshh get over it

she is not killing a baby lamb. some people are never satisfied

i am not t halle fan so much, but sheshh i think she looks good at 42. 40s not even old *im 24 she puts to bed those claims that having a baby after your “clock stops ticking” bs * esp if you can afford the proper health care.

that you can be healthy and fit past ur 20s. she looks great regadless of photoshop and all

start congratulating and things make actually change in the entertainment industry.

I wish I had her figure. . . she is so pretty :(

imboredwiththis @ 10/07/2008 at 10:30 pm

I am white and she is a beautiful woman….and PEOPLE 42 is not old….Jeeez

She’s beautiful. There are many girls who are going to say something mean just because it’ll make them feel better.

The real Halle Berry has a flat chest and big nose. Always putting the fakes on display for the world to see. Its boring. Maxim is a joke.

Halle Berry, Charlize Theron these are the true beauties. Unfortunately people today talk as if “hot” means Meagan Foxx, Jessica Biel or Simpson. They look cheapy and tacky to me. Halle, Charlize, Catharine Zeta-Jones are a throwback to Dorothy Dandridge, Kim Novak, Rita Hayworth, Ava Gardner. Too bad people don’t appreciate this and think you have to look like a **** to be hot. What about classy beauties?

TO poster # 6: This is 21 st century. 42 and already consider grandma?! Look at her?! I bet you must be pissed off because even in your 20’s you will never look as good as she looks in her 40’s. So many jelaous girls here…..Let the women get photographed! Even these shirts suit her because she has great body. Get a life people. Envy makes you even more uglier…..She has beauty, handsome man, baby, job…let her be happy.

i taught it was leona lewis for a few seconds

LOLOLROFLx2 @ 10/08/2008 at 6:30 am

HAHAHAH JEALOUS FAT PIGS.

42 is young, just because you are INFERIOR AND HAVE DISGUSTING GENETICS THAT ARE WORTHLESS, you die young, so who cares.
it does not mean you have to talk **** about good looking people who are healthy and live longer than you, subhumans.

Go be jealous and shove food down your mouth, fat ugly pieces of animal ****.
j

Hey what can I say. Black don’t crack baby. Halle ALWAYS looks great. But I still say she is not the only one in hollywood that is beautiful.

total tarty and cheap whoring ways like her big ass in monsters ball -looks like nothing has change except its the size of an elephant
these pics are all touched up to death its screaming out fake fake not real but i must say this SHE LOOKS LIKE A WHITE VERSION OF ‘SALLY FIELD’ but only in looks NO WAY the acting lololol yep i can see a very big resemblance…

Halle isdum definetely desperate and the worlds biggest laugh…and the poor thing thinks she is really special…

HEY ANYBODY FIND THIS ODD THAT WHEN JOLIE PITTS COME OUT ONTO PUBLIC…PSYCHO HALLE PULLS OUT ALL THE STOPS TO BE IN THE MEDIA. AT THE SAME TIME..HHAHAHHHAHAHA HOW DAMN PREDICTABLE…YOU SUCK HALLE YOU SIMPLE SUCK

NOTHING BUT A WHORING TRAMP

Media, wtf cares about the Jolie-Pitts? What does that have to do with Halle’s perfection? Halle’s been around for a long time and has never had to resort to hooking up with another A lister to brighten her spotlight. She’s done it all on her own. There hasn’t been a single blogger, gossip rag, or interviewer who’s had real access to her that has said anything negitive about her personality. Or has accused her of being fake. No other A list star gets that kind of respect. Only strangers who look from a distance talk that crap.

team halle berry @ 10/08/2008 at 12:04 pm

Halle & Gabriel make a perfect, beautiful couple! She glows!! But together WOW…..makes Brangelina pale in comparisons - sorry but it’s true & I like Brangelina. Halle is stunningly gorgeous. Her body is the ULTIMATE look to envy. Her butt is full & precise. Women who say she has big butt need therapy! Hollywood has messed with your mind.

I think White men, especially sweet like Gabriel are more than ever appreciating Beautiful Black Women who are more confident in their Skin. Most Black Women don’t come with weird anorexic ideas of bone-skinny as beauty…..PLEASE. Kerry Washington & Halle look the same age in that photo. I couldn’t tell that Halle is over 30 standing next to her. Black don’t crack, especially on Berry. Black Women are stunning, with naturally full-thick lips, high cheekbones & shades of brown complexion to die for! Women in Hollywood who don’t look like African-American Women are literally killing themselves with cosmetic surgery. Halle, Kerry & others are naturally gifted beauties.
Gabriel is Super HOT…their Baby is too damn cute.

*One dilemma I agree with the other posters: True, Halle has been named sexiest many many times before - so why not choose antother Black Actress?*

LEESA, it’s obvious that you need to come to my dad’s office for a little snip-snip. I’m sorry that you are jealous because your nose looks like a turkey butt and your chest looks like two fried eggs on a platter. Come on over girl, I’m sure that something can be done for ya.

Bennetton @ 10/08/2008 at 5:04 pm

OK, it’s official, some people are just freaks. How can anyone look at a woman that gorgeous and see anything besides drop dead insane gorgeous? I am a long way from 42 and I just hope I look a fraction as good as Halle when I get to be 42. And newsflash to those who are blasting Halle for doing this. Hello! She is an actress, an entertainer, it’s what they all do, pimp themselves in various fashion for our entertainment. Don’t like it, stop supporting entertainment and leave those who want to in peace.

she is so beautifu…………like befor!

FAKE MY ASS!

This woman IS NOT like all the rest of those washed up blondes, brunetts, an redhead in Hollywood. The ones they eat up allll the d@mn time. Halle is PERFECTION! Those breast are anything but fake. Womens breast get BIG when the have a baby. HELLO PEOPLE!She’s probably breast feading. And ONLY Halle can get away with wearing somethimg ugly and make it look good. Not that she wears any ungly out fits. Girlfriend looks good in all her clothes. I like Halle. But I DID NOT like the sorry a$$ movie Monsters Ball. And I hate that she won an oscar for BEST INTERRACIAL BUTT F*&K. Yep, that’s why she won that oscar. Because I DID NOT see ANY oscar worthy performance in that god forsaken movie. But other then that, she IS a good actress and she needs to take some REAL and TRUE good roles. I would love to see her in one of Tyler Perry’s movies.

She is beautiful.. but i dont really find her that sexy unless she is trying. I think someone is sexiest when they are subttle, just doing regular things and can draw you into them..

I’ll take beauty over sexy any day. Beautiful women always get the guys. Sexy women often look trashy/dirty.

It’s official, Halle Berry is the World’s Sexiest Woman. And those awesome photos prove it.

#64 you are a shallow person just like Hell e paid staff on here saying oh so nice things about her

she is old news and a good bye one at that

You miserable haters should be happy you are not nearly as pretty, rich or sexy as Halle.
Look what she has to get for being all of those things.

Good things come to good people.
Halle is not just the sexiest, most beautiful woman on the planet but
has the nicest personality. I bet Halle could never even imagine writing **** about people on the internet!!!
That’s why you are at home hating on her while she is on the cover of Esquire magazine celebrating her as the sexiest woman!
Get a life!!!

LIz isaacs @ 10/10/2008 at 6:59 pm

Boy oh boy, nothing has changed much since the long time I have actually posted here.@19 & @30—she may not have a film to promote but she is promoting her fragrance line, “Halle” which debuted recently in NYC last month.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wQBwQ8pFDAc/SO9hpyWkqWI/AAAAAAAACdo/RjVXeJJ3 V7k/s320/halleperfume.gif

Who knows maybe her alluring Esquire layout may be part of Coty’s marketing plan w/the TV and print ads? And if the rumors are true, maybe a good omen for she and her partner if they are trying to have more kids, it worked for them the last time.

#65 ewww:

I am not paid by anyone, nor do I represent Halle’s interests on this website. The opinions I post are my own. But I am just not prepared to argue with anyone who thinks Halle is over the hill.

If you think she’s washed up after seeing those awesome photos,… well there’s not much hope for you.

food for thought... @ 10/11/2008 at 2:31 pm

More food for thought (observation not hating)…the posters who call Ms. Halle a media wh@#$ points are well taken in terms of her mastering how to manipulate the media to her favor whether it’s to get on some whatever top list, promote her private life, etc. to still be in circulation.

Don’t have a problem with the photos. Halle’s only doing what she knows how to do. Nothing wrong with people admiring her looks and sensuality. …all the power to her.

Still say, not to start anything here…if she spend as much time promoting her work as she does her private life and her pr for being on the A-list, she would be a far better actress than she already is (not saying she’s not good or great), she’s not phenominal as she could be. Nothing wrong w/seeing the pix of Nahla or the eye candy pix of Aubry. But there’s no substance.

more food for thought... @ 10/11/2008 at 2:41 pm

More food for thought…see the media wh@#$ posters’ point of views. Not being mean here, Halle is the master of media manipulation in her favor. Nothing wrong with her sharing her achievements/accolades, her private life, etc. Nothing wrong with folks admiring her for the superficial things like her looks, A-list events etc to stay in the eye b4 the public-no real substance. She’s only doing what she knows how to do. That’s great she’s working on her personal life, really. Nothing wrong with any of that, like I have always said if she would spend more time promoting her career instead of pimping it or pimping her private life, she would even be more of phenomenal actress than she already is.

justashot2 @ 10/12/2008 at 1:16 am

Halle looks good, but I just don’t get it. What is so great about her! I look just as good as she does and my body is hotter than hers and I’m not an actress! I’m also older than her, as they say black doesn’t crack and I am a prime example. I have men coming out of my ears, i’m not a cougar and I don’t have to be. I am very hot!

Get it in your thick heads, black women are the hottest and everyone wants to be just like us (i.e. lips, ass, etc.) and be us!

VANESSA M. @ 10/12/2008 at 11:08 am

Her body looks fanastic for a woman who has given birth in the past year. Especially for a woman who is 42 years of age! She obviously works very hard to keep her body toned and in shape. In terms of some of the comments on here regarding her being “old”, well yes 42 is not young but her body looks better than alot of her female counterparts in Hollywood both in her age bracket and the younger celebrities as well. There is alot of jealously regarding Halle Berry, due to the fact that she is so attractive and being that she is that age. Most women in North America could only wish to have a body like that at any age (i.e. toned legs and butt, no cellulite, flat stomach, tiny waist, great breasts etc.) Look around how many women at any age have those physical attributes? In fact very few women in North America have fit healthy bodies. The majority of women are overweight in all age groups. On any given day go to the mall and see how many young women in particular are overweight. You will seldom see the beautiful “waist to hip ratio” that men lust after, that Halle possesses!

oh come on @ 10/12/2008 at 8:47 pm

OH COME ON dont get carried away she has stretch marks on her booobs BIGTIME she has a very different nose to the one she was born with..All her life and her other pics before this baby she was anorexic borderline UGLY…her ass is genuine huge thats the black negro side and her hair is woeful unlike the other ladies you numbskulls refer to…Drongo Halle has to fake the hair bigtime and ignores the fact she cannot do shite about it and the photos you people go on about re the 42 blahhh they are PHOTOSHOP TO THE MAX and goofball of a boyfriend knows that bigitme LOLOLOL…halle
is SHALLOW and she even admits it if you hear her talk,,,if she ever found herself that is… SHE HAS NO SUBSTANCE…I too am older than her have dark skin AM EURO ASIAN and everyone thinks I am very much younger…but believe me I do not ever want to see myself remotely compared to Halle dingle donkey
…THAT WOULD BE AN INSULT

Vanessa m. @ 10/14/2008 at 2:43 pm

Well, the above comment by “#73 oh come on” is an example of the type of jealousy and envy an attractive woman can incite in other women. Just ridiculous!!

Women take picture like this because men like looking at pictures like this. For all the dumb asses.
