She is now newly single after calling it quits with her husband of two years.

And Halle Berry was dressed to turn every head when she attended the launch party for Fallout 4 in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The 49-year-old absolutely sizzled in an edgy black mini dress worn over a pair of knee-high designer leather boots.

Halle's long-sleeved garment had sheer sleeves and a thigh-high hemline that threatened to show off her legs.

However, the Monster's Ball actress protected her modesty with a pair of matching leggings.

Glamming up the ultra sexy look were a pair of silver feather earrings, a large gold ring, and a smooth flawless coat of foundation to enhance her natural beauty.

Her hair was slicked back into a messy yet chic updo, and her thick bangs skimmed over her eyebrows in a sexy, bedhead style.

Halle certainly wasn't the only star dressed to turn every head.

Elsewhere at arrival, Ireland Baldwin struck a sultry posed in a long white dress with a cut-out at the stomach, exposing her tum to maximal effect.

The daughter of Alec Baldwin carried a glass and silver clutch pouting her pink lips and letting her long brunette hair down in full waves.

Pregnant Chrissy Teigen was radiant in a white turtleneck tank and shimmering orange-blue skirt, slashed at the thigh.

Meanwhile, Halle's outing comes just one day after she broke her silence on her shock split from her husband Olivier Martinez.

The couple were married for two years.

The actress talked to Extra during a Wednesday event benefiting the Jenesse Center in LA, where she admitted she was feeling 'okay'.

'I'm doing okay, I really am,' said the Extant star. 'I keep pushing and I'm really happy to be here because whenever you're going through anything in life, when you step outside yourself and focus on others, that's always the best remedy for any situation that you'd rather not be dealing with.'

Together Halle and Olivier have a son, Maceo. Both actors have already filed for divorce.

On Monday, Halle stepped out with her left hand completely bereft of a ring.

Then on Tuesday, the former Die Another Day star attended the the Black Women Of Bond Tribute in Los Angeles wearing the same ornamental black onyx band - and not her gold wedding band.

Her ex, French actor Olivier Martinez, has been spotted without his wedding band as well.

Meanwhile, Halle's week got off to a bumpy start after her former husband David Justice talked exclusively to DailyMail.com exclusively about how the Oscar winner had tried to ruin his life.

Justice, who was married to Halle from 1993 to 1997, is still angry about the rumors that he cheated on her and was so abusive he caused permanent hearing loss in her left ear.

The former pro athlete, who's now a father, told DailyMail.com he wants to set the record straight once and for all.

'Back then it didn't matter, but it's different now,' Justice said. 'Halle never said I hit her but she never said I didn't either, which was disappointing.

'Let me tell you something, I was raised by a single mother and I love and respect her dearly, I would never hit a woman. Never. So, now I have said all that I am going to say on the subject.'

She's just fine: Halle Berry has broken her silence after her shock October split from Olivier Martinez. On Wednesday the 49-year-old actress talked to Extra during an event benefiting the Jenesse Center in LA

Together Halle and Olivier have a son, Maceo. Both actors have already filed for divorce.

When Extra's Terri Seymour asked Halle if her daughter Nahla - who Berry had with model Gabriel Aubry - knows how strong she is, the actress said, 'Oh, yeah, you should be in my house!'

The cover girl also talked Halloween. 'Maceo didn't go trick-or-treating 'cause he has the chicken pox, Nahla was a zombie cheerleader, and we had a great time.'

Not one to miss a good holiday, the star got into costume. 'I was a pirate and Nahla, she's like, "You're a sexy pirate, Mommy," I'm like, "What do you know about a sexy pirate?"'

They seemed so in love: The Oscar winner and the French actor were together for two years; here they are seen in 2012

The beauty has seemed to move on fast.

On Tuesday the actress replaced her wedding band from Olivier with a new one, presumably one she bought herself, while at the Black Women Of Bond Tribute in LA (she starred opposite Pierce Brosnan in 2002's Die Another Day).

And on Wednesday, the mother-of-two went completely ring free as she stepped out to run errands in a chic outfit.

The Catwoman actress was dressed for the autumn chill in a black jacket, jeans and black boots.

And she carried with her a black purse that had on it the initials HB for Halle Berry, not HM for Halle Martinez.

On Monday, Halle had stepped out with her hand completely bare.

This followed previous sightings over the past week, during which she had been spotted wearing the gold wedding band from Olivier.

But, after removing the previous day, she appeared to have replaced it for the evening event on Tuesday.

She showed off her hand as she posed on the red carpet and chatted to Naomie Harris at the event, her ring finger clad in a thick silver band with black studs.

Olivier has been pictured without his wedding band, his denuded left hand showing the signs of his heartache.

And while she hid her personal heartache behind a smile, it had surely been a tough day after her former husband David Justice talked exclusively to DailyMail.com exclusively about how the Oscar winner had tried to ruin his life.

Justice, who was married to Halle from 1993 to 1997, is still angry about the rumors that he cheated on her and was so abusive he caused permanent hearing loss in her left ear.

Halle Berry proved the show must go on as she made her first red carpet appearance in Hollywood following her split with Olivier Martinez.

The actress, who starred opposite Pierce Brosnan in Die Another Day, joined Naomie Harris at the Black Women Of Bond Tribute, on Tuesday, wearing an asymmetrical duck egg blue dress with a halter neck and strappy black heels.

But one of the most notable parts of her outfit was the band on the third finger of her left hand: it was not her wedding ring, but a completely different item of jewellery.

Playing a Bond girl in the James Bond movies is often a career-defining role.

So it was with great delight that iconic former 007 stars Trina Parks and Gloria Hendry could accompany current Bond star Naomie Harris, and Die Another Day actress Halle Berry at a special event held in their honour.

Ahead of Friday's US release of the new flick Spectre, the African American Film Critics Association hosted a tribute honoring Trina, 68, and Gloria, 66, in Hollywood on Tuesday.

The gorgeous stars were joined by Naomie, 39, and Halle, 49, at the special event, generations of Bond girls joining together as one.

When Halle was cast as Jinx in 2002's Die Another Day opposite Pierce Brosnan, she was the first black Bond girl for 17 years, while Naomie has reinvented the role of Miss Moneypenny in the most recent two films, 2012's Skyfall and Spectre.

In Die Another Day, she famously recreated Ursula Andress's iconic scene from the first Bond film Dr. No, emerging from the ocean in a bikini and with a knife.

Role model: Trina made history as the first African-American actress to be cast as a Bond girl - she starred opposite Sean Connery as James Bond in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever

Defining moment: Although Trina didn't portray a romantic partner to Connery's 007 in the seventh Bond film, she was a feisty and frightening nemesis

But the way was paved for her by the likes of her predecessors, who looked glamorous at the special event hosted in their honour.

Trina was the first African-American actress cast as a Bond girl, starring as Thumper in Diamonds Are Forever opposite Sean Connery in 1971.

She rose to fame in one of the first Bond films, holding her own in that all-important bikini moment for her meeting with the leading man.

Trina didn't play a romantic partner to Connery's Bond, in the seventh film of the franchise, but was a fantastic and feisty nemesis.

Held her own: Gloria Hendry was a bikini-wearing, gun-toting Bond girl in Live And Let Die, released in 1973 and starring Roger Moore as 007. She was the first black Bond girl to have a romantic scene with the British spy

They've still got it! Gloria looked glamorous in a split-fronted golden gown, while Trina opted for a sleek floor-sweeping black dress for their red carpet appearance

And Gloria made history as the first black Bond girl to be romantically involved with the British secret agent, who was played by Roger Moore in 1973's Live And Let Die.

The beauty looked incredible in her two-piece as she graced the scene as the gun-toting Rosie Carver.

Both actresses made for glamorous additions to the evening, each of them clad in their finest red carpet gear as they showed their younger counterparts how it's done.

Iconic: Halle starred as Jinx in 2002's Die Another Day and recreated the scene made famous by Ursula Andress in the first Bond movie Dr. No, emerging from the ocean in a bikini

007's girls: Naomie and Halle shared a laugh on the red carpet as they were feted at a special event hosted in honour of their Bond girl predecessors

Trina oozed old-school elegance in a floor-sweeping black gown, teamed with a glamorous furry stole over her shoulder.

Gloria, meanwhile, went for a curve-enhancing golden gown with a seductive slit down the front, proving that despite her age, she's still got sex appeal in buckets, much like her past Bond girl character.

Naomie - who has played head of the British Secret Service M's secretary Eve Moneypenny is the most recent two Bond movies - has been busy travelling the globe to promote the latest 007 action-packed installment.

Game changer: Naomie was cast as the new Miss Moneypenny in 2012's franchise reboot Skyfall and reprises the role in Spectre, opening Friday in North America

Proud: In a recent interview, Naomie said she's thrilled to be the first black actress to portray Eve Moneypenny, in a role that means she isn't just 't**s and a**'

She stars alongside Daniel Craig in the Sam Mendes film, acting as a sidekick to the spy as she helps him to unravel the happenings of organisation SPECTRE.

Naomie has previously admitted that she is thrilled to be the first black actress to portray the secretary, who has been brought to life on screen in the other films by the likes of Samantha Bond, Lois Maxwell and Caroline Bliss.

In a recent interview with MORE magazine, she said: 'I love that I’m representing a Bond woman to admire, not just t**s and a**.'

At the one-off event on Tuesday, the beautiful star wore a long-sleeved red mini dress with embellished flower patterns and laughed as she posed for photos with Halle.

Broke new ground: The actress chose to star opposite Pierce Brosnan as 007 after winning a Best Actress Academy Award for Monster's Ball, becoming the first actress to opt to be a Bond girl after getting an Oscar

Memorable: Halle made waves - quite literally - when she starred in her scene-stealing role as Jinx in Die Another Day

The Oscar-winner, who filed for divorce from husband Olivier Martinez a week ago, stepped out in a duck egg blue halter-necked asymmetrical frock.

It was her first red carpet appearance since news broke of her marriage split and she put on a brave face as she faced the cameras.

Despite the all the ongoing drama, Halle still managed to dazzle at Tuesday night's event held at the California African American Museum.
