Halle Berry<\/strong> is perfect. From head to toe, the 44-year-old actress is so beautiful, she really would look gorgeous in a sack. And amazingly, she seems to get better looking with each passing year. While Halle\u2019s good looks don\u2019t need any help, the chic mom dresses her hourglass figure in clothes that manage to make her even more breathtaking than she already is, thanks to some basic principles. You can use the same fashion formula to mimic her fabulous look on your own.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Loose Top, Tight Bottom<\/strong>
On the red carpet, Halle\u2019s not afraid to turn heads in a tight mini dress or fitted pantsuit, but on an average day, she prefers to keep it comfy. Her uniform? A loose fitting, chunky top and tight jeans or leggings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Halle knows it\u2019s all about balance, so she offsets sexy leather skinny pants with a cozy sweater<\/a> for an effect that appears effortless, but was most likely strategic. This look is easy to mimic with clothes you probably already have in your closet. If not, here are our picks for imitating her comfortably sexy ensembles.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. The easiest path to chic: Great Accessories<\/strong>
Yes, it\u2019s silly to get dressed up to go to the gym or grocery store, but who said you have to dress up to look chic? Halle looks totally casual in simple clothes and minimal makeup– and it probably takes her less than 3 minutes to pull these looks together. Instead of wasting time in front of the mirror fussing over clothes and hair styles, Halle grabs for 1 or more of these 4 things: big sunglasses, a gorgeous bag, a hat and a scarf.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Another thing we love about Halle? It\u2019s usually the same bag, the same sunnies, the same hat and the same scarf. She\u2019s got her go-to pieces for instant style, and so should you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. Stick with solids and neutrals<\/strong>
We know orange and pink are the hot hues right now, and we understand how red and animal prints<\/a> make you feel sexy and powerful, but don\u2019t count out the understated appeal of white, grey and black– colors which account for approximately 90 percent of Halle\u2019s wardrobe.

Halle\u2019s hues of choice are simple, chic and versatile. What\u2019s more, they draw the attention to the woman, not the clothes. Stock your wardrobe with the basics, white tanks and tees, black pants and jackets and grey dresses and tops. You can wear them anytime, anywhere, any season with almost anything else in your closet. And have we mentioned they make your figure look fabulous? Work these pieces into your wardrobe to prove that, like Halle, you\u2019ve got beauty and brains.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
