Happy Birthday, Halle Berry! 15 Regrettable Vintage Outfits That Prove She’s Gotten Better With Age

So far, it’s been a pretty good year for Halle Berry. She’s got a baby on the way, hasn’t injured herself on any sets, no one has made her dip her boob in guacamole, and her ex and fiance haven’t gotten into any brawls with each other. That, and the fact that today, on the occasion of her 47th birthday, she’s still one of the hottest women on the planet. Actually, after seeing this gallery of her past spectacular fashion fails, you might argue that she’s MUCH hotter now that earlier in her career.

To be fair, the late ’80s and all of the ’90s were regrettable times for everyone who wore clothing. We just sometimes forget that even the most beautiful people in the world fall victim to baggy jeans, whale tails, fringes, fur and see-through dresses. You’ve come a long way, Halle. Happy Birthday!
