She was last seen on Wednesday night in a daring black cut-out frock - but Halle Berry had gone for a more casual look for an evening out last night with beau Olivier Martinez.

The Monster's Ball star had pulled out all the fashion stops earlier in the week when she wore the belly-baring £1,305 Halston dress - but clearly feels so comfortable with her boyfriend that she could tone it down a little.

She'd worn the show-stopping number to the FiFi fragrance awards in New York where she'd won Celebrity Fragrance Of The Year for her scent - but kept it more casual and covered up in nude tones last night for the opening of a new Nikki Beach club in Las Vegas.

The 44-year-old had accessorized with gold strappy sandals but her characteristic minimal make-up and jewellery.



Halle has been with Kylie's ex Olivier, 45, for almost a year and they looked as love-up as ever as they walked up the red carpet hand-in-hand.

Berry and Martinez met while filming Dark Tide in South Africa last summer.

It's a thriller about a diving instructor who returns to keep waters after a near-fatal encounter with a Great White shark, and is due out later this year.

The pair have been inseparable ever since with French born Martinez staying at the actress's Beverly Hills home whenever he is in Los Angeles and Halle making frequent trips over to France.

Martinez is sad to have been a great support to Berry all throughout her ugly custody battle with Canadian model, Gabriel Aubry, with whom she split with last year.

Both Halle and Olivier have been busy with work of late too.

Halle has been filming her next project The Skank Robbers, a film written by fellow actors Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence.

Olivier meanwhile stars in Deauville alongside Isabella Rossellini and Lara Flyn Boyle, which is also out later this year.

It was a big night for Halle Berry, getting honoured at FiFi fragrance awards in New York for her popular perfume Reveal.

So the 44-year-old actress made sure she stood out as she bared her belly in a risqué cut-out asymmetric gown.

The Monster's Ball star showed off her impeccably toned abs in the creation, as she posed inside the event, where she received the Celebrity Fragrance of the Year award.

Halle let her daring dress do all the talking by paring her accessories down to just a pair of hoop earrings, some simple strappy sandals and a black clutch.

The confident star's complexion was glowing with her minimal make-up look.

While Halle had top billings in the sultry style stakes, singer Fergie was anything but mellow in her yellow creation.

Halle Berry: 2011 FiFi Awards in New York, May 25

Halle Berry was a show stoppers Wednesday night at the 2011 FiFi Awards at The Tent at Lincoln Center in New York City.

Halle was dressed to kill in a one shoulder cut out dress showing her perfectly toned stomach. Talk about ageless beauty!

The Oscar winning actress is still going strong with Olivier Martinez, who is always the perfect red carpet accessory.











Halle Berry bares her midriff while attending the 2011 FiFi Awards held at The Tent at Lincoln Center on Wednesday (May 25) in New York City.
The 44-year-old actress received the Fragrance Celebrity of the Year Award for her latest scent, Reveal.
“For years I have created my own personal scents by mixing and layering fragrances, trying to come up with something unique and different. It’s a wonderful form of self-expression and I am thrilled to share these fragrances with consumers worldwide,” Halle said in a statement. “I am very honored to receive this FiFi award. I truly believe that fragrance makes women feel beautiful and confident.”

1 in 4 would pay the price for a great body


About a fourth of Americans would rather have a dream body for the rest of their lives than win $1 million in the lottery, according to a new poll of 1,000 adults.
And almost half say if they were granted a single wish, they'd rather be at their ideal weight than be five years younger.
"A dream body is almost a two-fer. If you are at an ideal weight you'll not only look great but you'll probably live longer," says Bruce Daggy, vice president of research and development for Nutrisystem, which sponsored the survey. "We know that a healthy weight is associated with healthy aging."
Bonnie Taub-Dix, a registered dietitian in New York City and nutrition blogger on food.usatoday.com, says, "Many people wish they could have a better body without realizing that the power is in their hands the hands that lift their forks. I've been counseling people for decades who wish they could be as thin as their friends, but they fail to realize that their friends are not eating large portions or multiple snacks during the day."
Currently about 66% of people in the U.S. are overweight or obese, which puts them at a greater risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other chronic diseases.
Other findings from the poll, conducted by Kelton Research for the diet company:

•When they gain weight, about half of people say they have less energy; a fourth have more stress.

•When they are trying to lose weight, more than half of dieters say they compare themselves to someone else, often friends, co-workers, siblings or celebrities.

• About a quarter of women say that Jennifer Lopez and Halle Berry have the kind of bodies they want; almost half of men say they'd like Matthew McConaughey's bod.

First Lady Michelle Obama has the best arms of any famous female; actor Vin Diesel is the male celebrity with the best arms.

Halle Berry slips on tiny denim shorts after seeing Kylie Minogue in a near identical pair

Taking fashion tips from the ex? Halle Berry slips on tiny denim shorts after seeing Kylie Minogue in a near identical pair

It appears that Halle Berry has taken some fashion inspiration from one very unlikely person, he boyfriend's ex, Kylie Minogue.

After watching the popstar prance around onstage in some tiny denim shorts, the actress stepped out in an almost identical pair the day after.

The 44-year-old wore the super short hotpants to go shopping at Bristol Farms in Beverly Hills yesterday.

Halle showed off her incredible toned legs in the flesh-baring attire pairing them with an exercise top worn underneath a white t-shirt.

She carried a studded black leather bag and slipped on a pair of aviators.

Halle also appeared to be giving boyfriend Martinez some subtle hints as she slipped a ring on her wedding finger.
Her outing comes the day after she and Martinez went to see Minogue's Aphrodite concert at the Hollywood Bowl the night before.
Dressed down casually in a pair of denim jeans and a roll-neck knitted sweater, Berry, grit her teeth and watched on as Minogue, 42, put on a rousing performance in an array of sexy outfits, including her infamous cheeky shorts.

Strutting her stuff around the stage, the pint-size pop star gave the crowd an eyeful as she bent over in the tiny hotpants, showing off her impeccable derrière.

D&G designed all of the costumes for Minogue's current Aphrodite - Les Folies tour, including one where the singer appears on stage as Venus, the goddess of love.

The bubbly blonde absolutely stunning in the thigh-skimming Grecian gown complete with a gold plated bustier.

But if it bothered Berry, she didn't show it, instead the actress quietly sipped on a glass of red wine while she took in the sights and sounds.

She even gave Minogue a standing ovation as the curtain closed on the show.

Earlier as the couple arrived, they were greeted by a friend, who happily chatted away with the couple, all while Berry flashed her Hollywood smile.

French actor Martinez appeared in high-spirits during the night, smiling and laughing in the crowd as he sipped on a bottle of beer.

Martinez and his ex-Minogue dated for over four years and some say they were close to marriage.

But the singer and Fench actor split in February 2007.

At the time they said the decision to separate was mutual and added that they remained 'very close friends'.

A joint statement released on behalf of the pair read: 'Olivier Martinez and Kylie Minogue have officially confirmed that they are no longer a couple.

'They have made it clear that the decision to go their separate ways was mutual and amicable. The media's false accusations of disloyalty have saddened them both. The two remain very close friends.'

The separation came at the end of a tumultuous time for Minogue after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

The singer was forced to abandon her Showgirl world tour in May 2005, and did not resume it until last November.

She spoke of how her 'incredible' boyfriend of four years had helped her through the darkest days of her cancer battle.

She said going through treatment felt 'like being in an atomic explosion' but the support of Martinez, was invaluable.

Minogue told Elle magazine at the time: "On particular dark days, I'd be lying on the bathroom floor wailing and he'd say, 'OK, honey, you can cry for just five minutes, then I'm taking you on the bike for a ride around Paris'. "So I'd howl a bit more and then I'd find myself thinking, 'Hmm. Actually, a ride on the bike sounds pretty good.'

'Olli was there all the time, helping with the practical stuff and being protective.

'I don't like to say too much in public about Olivier as he's a very private person, but I will say that he was incredible.

'He didn't hesitate in cancelling work and putting projects on hold so he could be with me. He's the most honourable man I have ever met.' At the time she denied reports the couple were planning to marry.

'I understand the excitement at the prospect of a wedding, but we're simply happy together and getting on with life,' she said.

The couple's parting followed reports that Martinez was seen with younger women in Los Angeles twice while Minogue remained in Britain, leading to speculation of infidelity.

Berry and Martinez met while filming Dark Tide in South Africa last year, which is yet to have a release date but is a thriller about a diving instructor who returns to keep waters after a near-fatal encounter with a Great White shark.

The pair have been inseparable ever since with French born Martinez staying at the actress's Beverly Hills home whenever he is in Los Angeles.

Martinez is sad to have been a great support to Berry all throughout her ugly custody battle with Canadian model, Gabriel Aubry, with whom she split with last year.
