The actress first wore the dress when\u00a0she won the Oscars<\/a>\u00a0for Best Actress for her role in\u00a02001’s “Monster’s Ball.”<\/a>\u00a0This time,\u00a0Halle Berry<\/a>, in her stunning flower-beaded gown embodied the timelessness of both the dress and the brand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

She highlighted her ageless beauty and the enduring elegance of the gown, amazing her loyal fans. However, some admirers, focusing on her facial appearance, wondered if she had altered it through cosmetic surgery, pointing out changes they felt were visible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One fan\u00a0noted<\/a>,\u00a0“Halle is forever gorgeous, but age does not add this kinda volume to your face. That being said this is extremely good cosmetic work.”\u00a0<\/i>Another fan\u00a0concurred<\/a>,\u00a0“Wow, she’s had work done. Her face is no longer the same shape. \u2639\ufe0f.”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A supporter took a more reflective stance,\u00a0saying<\/a>,\u00a0“I wouldn’t recognize her it’s so sad. She was so beautiful in her own beauty now she’s unrecognizable. I’m not hating on her I always thought that she was amazing and still is. Plus I look different with no work done. Wish my body held up like hers.”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

One curious commenter\u00a0asked<\/a>, “How do ears get bigger?”<\/i>\u00a0A more cynical fan\u00a0mused<\/a>,\u00a0“Timeless? Yeah, with botox etc [sic].”<\/i>\u00a0Another fan\u00a0admitted<\/a>,\u00a0“I wouldn’t have guessed that was Halle. I would’ve assumed that was someone else wearing Halle’s dress. \ud83d\ude2e\ud83e\udee2”<\/i>\u00a0A fan\u00a0noted<\/a>,\u00a0“Its wild she’s gorgeous but then when u see a side by side u can see all the filler, botox, face lift etc [sic] lol.”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Other fans\u00a0questioned<\/a>,\u00a0“She is very pretty, but her ears and eyes are different. I don’t think the one on the right is her.”\u00a0<\/i>An individual also\u00a0offered<\/a>\u00a0a more skeptical take,\u00a0“I do not think the one on the right is Halle the eyes and eyebrows and ears are different.

On a more positive note, some fans\u00a0praised<\/a>\u00a0her timeless beauty,\u00a0“Defining aging like fine wine.”<\/i>\u00a0Another\u00a0agreed<\/a>,\u00a0“Wow she looks even younger than she did in 2002!”<\/i>\u00a0A long-time admirer\u00a0said<\/a>,\u00a0“She looks adorable at 35…now she looks beautiful & absolutely stunning!!”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
