Halle Berry conceals her growing curves in an unusual draped dress... as she calls her pregnancy a 'miracle'



When it comes to Hollywood pregnancies, most celebrities opt for the tighter the better when it comes to maternity wear.
But Halle Berry has opted for a more subtle approach during her pregnancy, and concealed her growing curves beneath an unusual draped dress as she headed out for dinner in West Hollywood on Wednesday night.
The 46-year-old actress' outfit featured heavy draping around the stomach area, meaning that Halle's baby bump was cleverly concealed.

The Call star's outing came as she opened up about expecting her second child at the age of 46, admitting that conceiving a baby with fiancé Olivier Martinez was a 'miracle'.
She told ET Online: 'I'm thinking that this is a miracle. I feel really happy. It's one of the best things that happened in my life, for sure.'

The baby, a boy, will be the first for 47-year-old French actor Olivier, and the second for Halle, who is already mother to five-year-old Nahla with ex Gabriel Aubry.
Halle and Gabriel share custody of Nahla, with the male model seen spending time with his daughter in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The little girl looked angelic in a white dress as she was toted by her long-haired father, who beamed with delight as he enjoyed some quality time with Nahla.

Following Halle's pregnancy announcement in April, a source close to Gabriel revealed that the actor is thrilled for his ex - namely because his daughter is thrilled about having a sibling.
The source said at the time: 'Gabriel knew that Halle had been trying to get pregnant for a very long time, and Nahla is very excited to become a big sister. 
'Seeing Nahla happy is all that matters to Gabriel.'

Halle Berry glows in an airy frock as she picks up daughter Nahla from school


She makes pregnancy look like a breeze! Halle Berry glows in an airy frock as she picks up daughter Nahla from school


At age 46, Halle Berry is wearing her second pregnancy extremely well.
The glowing actress arrived to pick up five-year-old daughter Nahla from her Beverly Hills school on Tuesday wearing a colourful breezy dress that showed the outline of her growing baby bump.

And while her bump grows bigger by the day, the rest of Halle's appearance seems just the same as she goes through by her first pregnancy with French fiance Olivier Martinez.
Her slender arms carried her daughter's lunch box and school papers, and her toned legs were exposed at the end of her dress' multi-level hemline.
The summer frock's loose shape caught the warm SoCal winds and hugged the Academy Award winner's belly.

She wore a heart-patterned purple tank top over light pink capri leggings.
Earlier in the day, Halle sported a hippie-inspired blouse while running some errands in Beverly Hills, on Tuesday.

This will be the 46-year-old's second child - but first with Martinez - as she shares a daughter with French Canadian model Gabriel Aubry.
Looking every bit the satisfied mother, Halle donned a baggy pair of denim pants with the cuffs rolled up.
Adorning her feet were bright blue rubber flip flops as she kept a low-profile in aviator sunglasses.

While walking leisurely in the sunshine, the Oscar winner looked relaxed and at ease as she kept a gentle hold on her growing belly.
News of her pregnancy came as a shock to Halle, who thought she had kidney stones when she first went in for a check up with the doctor.
'I was at the doctor's when they told me and I was completely shocked,' she told Hello! magazine last month. 'I didn't see it coming. I went to the doctor because I thought I had kidney stones or something.' 
But she and her husband-to-be were thrilled at the news. 'Olivier and I have always wanted to be parents, but I didn't want to get my hopes up.'

In the meantime, The Monster's Ball star is currently shooting the highly-anticipated sequel X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar winner Anna Paquin, Peter Dinklage, Michael Fassbender, and Hugh Jackman also star in the flick due out July 18 of next year.

    Olivier Martinez joins pregnant Halle Berry and Nahla for Mother's Day lunch


    Protective Olivier Martinez nearly loses his cool as he joins pregnant Halle Berry and Nahla for Mother's Day lunch

    By Cassie Carpenter and Jennifer Pearson
    |

    Halle Berry's French fiance has been on an angelic streak lately.
    But Olivier Martinez nearly lost his carefully controlled temper when he escorted the pregnant actress and her five-year-old daughter Nahla to a special Mother's Day lunch at Riva Bella in West Hollywood on Sunday.
    Olivier put up his hand in warning when he deemed people were getting too close to his sweetheart and was most likely seconds away from shouting.

    His handsome features were screwed up and he gave his apparent adversaries the evil eye through his tinted sunglasses.
    While Olivier was dealing with the crowd, Halle managed to slip inside the eatery with her little girl.
    The 46-year-old Oscar winner, who is currently four months pregnant with her second child, flaunted her growing bump and bosom in a purple-ombré halter maxi-dress.

    Shy Nahla wore her hair in pigtails and rocked a colourful-striped tank dress with ultra-cute T-strap sandals.

    Meanwhile her 47-year-old fiancé of three years looked ruggedly handsome in his red plaid shirt and loose blue jeans.

    'What I love about Mother's Day is Mom doesn't have to plan it,' Halle told reporters before hosting the 20th Annual EIF Revlon Run/Walk For Women on Saturday.

    'My family gets together and they get to plan the day for me, and I love that. I'm the planner and I'm the one that organizes. And on Mother's Day I get to just be taken care of.'

    Berry is not aware of whether Nahla will be having a little sister or brother.

    'We don't know what we're having,' the Cloud Atlas actress teased. 'We're having a baby, that's for sure.'

    The Revlon spokeswoman looked sporty in figure-hugging black exercise pants, a white T-shirt and a Revlon tracksuit top as she posed at the event, which was held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum at Exposition Park.

    Not seen was Sunday was Nahla's birth father - Halle's ex-partner Gabriel Aubry.

    She and the French-Canadian model came to a custody agreement last November preventing her move to France.

    Her Frenchman beau Olivier has been hard at work on two period films - the romantic drama Deauville with Isabella Rossellini and the adventure drama The Physician with Ben Kingsley.

    Halle Berry: I Love Mother's Day Because I Don't Have to Plan It - People.com

    Even pregnant with her second child – and with a wedding in the works – Halle Berry has admitted that she has no plans to slow down or take time off from work, which is probably why Sunday's holiday will be particularly gratifying.

    "What I love about Mother's Day is Mom doesn't have to plan it," Berry tells reporters before hosting the 20th Annual EIF Revlon Run/Walk For Women.

    That means fiancé Olivier Martinez and daughter Nahla Ariela, 5, are in planning mode. And the actress couldn't be any happier about the role reversal.

    "I don't know what it is," she says of what might be in store for her. "My family gets together and they get to plan the day for me, and I love that. I'm the planner and I'm the one that organizes, and on Mother's Day I get to just be taken care of."


    Despite announcing only last month that she and Martinez where expecting their first child together, the stunning 46-year-old proudly showed off her growing belly (and her still-slender figure) while wearing a black-fitted track suit, and a snug white T-shirt.

    As far as whether Nahla is expecting a little brother or a little sister, Berry admits that the family is taking a wait-and-see approach – at least for now.

    "We don't know what we're having," she says with a smile, putting a hand gently on her stomach. "We're having a baby, that's for sure."
