Halle Berry Reacts To Zendaya’s Honor At 2026 Emmy Awards
Academy Award-winning actress Halle Berry is well known as the first Black actress to win “Best Actress” at the Oscars. Berry won the statue at the 74th Academy Awards for her role in the 2001 film ‘Monster’s Ball.’ However, the star is just as well-known for her signature pixie cut, and Zendaya nailed Berry’s cut at the 2026 Emmy Awards.
In 2002, Berry rocked her pixie cut in a Collette Dinnigan sequined dress at the ‘Die Another Day’ premiere. Per PEOPLE, Zendaya copied her look at the recent Emmys.
Zendaya was dressed by longtime stylist Law Roach, who put the actress in a sequined Prada gown. Roach also told PEOPLE that Zendaya’s hair was inspired by Berry’s signature pixie.
Berry reacted on X with the caption:
“murdered the night 👏🏽👏🏽.”
