If anyone’s winning summer 2025, it’s Halle Berry. Over the past couple of months, the actor, entrepreneur, and forever style icon has been globe-trotting her way through the season—from serene stops in Switzerland to a carefree road trip across Utah. And now, to celebrate her 59th birthday, Berry has whisked herself away to a tropical escape, where her vacation wardrobe is making just as many waves as the ocean she’s lounging beside.
Her latest style moment? A bold reminder that lingerie doesn’t have to stay tucked away behind closed doors.
A Poolside Look That Turned Heads
In a series of Instagram snapshots, Berry proved that sultry can also be playful. Sprawled across a giant inflatable rubber duck, she sizzled in a red lace-trim cami from Uwila Warrior—a surprisingly budget-friendly piece at just $68. Instead of traditional swim bottoms, she completed the look with the brand’s matching silk briefs ($48). Both items are still fully stocked and available in shades ranging from classic black and white to deep forest green and navy, making this look as accessible as it is daring.
The cloudy skies didn’t dampen the vibe. Berry captioned her post with a cheerful note: “Making the most of a cloudy day!” Her flower crown—bright, colorful, and possibly handmade—added a bohemian flair, while her makeup-free complexion and tousled bob kept the look effortlessly natural.
Birthday Weekend in Full Bloom
Berry’s floral headpiece made another appearance in a different slideshow from her celebratory weekend. This time, she styled it with an earthy, outdoorsy ensemble: a black halterneck crochet dress from Monday Swimwear (one of her go-to labels) and a stack of chunky bangles from The Frankie Shop. The combination struck that signature Berry balance—relaxed yet elevated, joyful yet chic.
It’s no surprise that Monday Swimwear holds a permanent place in her rotation. The brand—beloved by names like Priyanka Chopra, Charli XCX, and Shay Mitchell—has become synonymous with timeless, body-celebrating designs. Just last month, Berry was spotted in Joshua Tree wearing their black-and-ivory one-piece suit, a style she’s donned before and clearly swears by.
Why Berry’s Red-Hot Look Resonates
What makes Berry’s lingerie moment stand out isn’t just the boldness—it’s the approachability. By styling lingerie as daywear, she takes something intimate and reframes it as celebratory, carefree, and perfectly suited to vacation mode. The fact that the pieces are both affordable and size-inclusive makes the look even more relatable.
She also demonstrates a broader shift happening in fashion right now: the blurring of lines between lingerie, swimwear, and everyday wear. Slip dresses double as evening looks, satin camisoles are layered under blazers, and now—thanks to Berry—lace camis and briefs can pass as chic poolside attire. It’s less about following rules and more about wearing what feels joyful.
Channeling Halle: How to Try the Trend
If Berry’s photos have you reconsidering your lingerie drawer, here are a few ways to take inspiration without feeling overexposed:
- Opt for Coordinated Sets: Matching camis and briefs (like Berry’s Uwila Warrior duo) feel intentional and polished.
- Play with Accessories: A statement piece, like a flower crown or stacked bangles, shifts lingerie into outfit territory.
- Lean Into Texture: Crochet cover-ups, breezy kimonos, or oversized button-downs can add balance and coverage.
- Mix & Match: Pair a lace cami with denim shorts or a silk slip skirt for a look that works beyond the beach.
The beauty of this trend lies in its flexibility—whether you’re fully embracing lingerie-as-daywear or simply dipping a toe in with layering, it’s all about reimagining how and where your favorite pieces can shine.
Halle Berry’s Endless Summer
For Berry, turning 59 looks like joy, adventure, and unapologetic style. Whether she’s hiking desert trails, exploring international cities, or floating on a rubber duck in fiery red lace, she’s setting the tone for how to live—and dress—boldly at any age.
Her birthday getaway proves that fashion doesn’t need perfect weather, a red carpet, or even a bikini to make a statement. Sometimes, all it takes is confidence, a splash of color, and the willingness to wear your lingerie outside the lines.
