Natural beauty: Halle Berry let her beautiful natural curls run free as she left an evening of comedy at the Coronet Club in West Hollywood with a female friend on Thursday night
The screen star showed off her toned legs in a black floral patterned dress for the night of comedy at Largo at the Coronet.
Halle's outfit was tight around her trim waist and featured large white and grey floral designs.
The X-Men star's arms popped through the cold-shoulder dress as billowy fabric covered the rest of her arms.
A small silver pendant necklace rested above the star's modest neckline, and she added height to her frame with nude strappy sandals.

The Flintstones actress carried a large beige leather satchel on her wrist as she carried an iPhone in her hand.
Earlier this week, Halle revealed she lived in a homeless shelter during her early days in New York City when she was trying to carve out a career.
Speaking in an interview with PEOPLE magazine, Halle said: 'That was rough. I called my mother and asked her to send me some money, and she said no, and that led to a year of not speaking, but that's probably one of the best things she did for me.'
She continued: 'She said, "If you want to be there, then you work it out". Giving up was never an option.

'Shelter life was part of figuring it out for a minute until I could get a waitressing job. Then I got a bartending job, and until I could figure that out, that’s what I did.'
Directed by Luis Prieto, her new film Kidnap was released on August 4 to mixed reviews, earning a 58 percent audience score out of more than 10,000 user ratings on Rotten Tomatoes.
Halle portrays Karla Dyson in the thriller, a mother who stops at nothing to retrieve her kidnapped son.
Audiences waited nearly two years for the film to debut in theaters after the film's distribution company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in mid-2015 due to lawsuits and missing loan payments.
Berry's upcoming films include Kingsman: The Golden Circle, sequel to Kingsman: The Secret Service and Kings, a drama set around the 1992 Los Angeles riots.
