Halle made sure to display her hourglass figure, while flashing a bit of cleavage, in her metallic garment as she stood tall in matching heels.

Martinez, 48, wore a pencil moustache and slick black suit and tie as he accompanied his gorgeous wife for her big night.

In the upcoming miniseries Extant, Halle portrays an astronaut who returns home pregnant following a solo mission in space.

Revving up: Extant will premiere on CBS on July 9

The premise of the show sees Molly Woods (Berry) go on a 13-month solo mission to space - though she doesn't return alone.

The wife and mother, who was infertile when she left, can't seem to explain how she managed to be with child following her expedition, as she returns home to husband John, played by ER's Goran Visnjic, and 'Humanichs' or 'human robot' son Ethan, played by One Tree Hill's Pierce Gagnon.

Extant, produced by Steven Spielberg, premieres on July 9 on CBS.

Meanwhile on Halle's personal front, the actress was recently ordered to pay ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry monthly child support payments in the amount of $16,000.

The actress - who is currently married to Martinez - shares six-year-old daughter Nahla with Gabriel.

She also welcomed a son Maceo in October with Olivier.

Halle Berry has revealed how playing X-Men’s Storm gave her an edge for her new TV role. The Oscar-winning actress, who plays an astronaut in sci-fi drama Extant, admitted her previous experience on the X-Men films helped her with the wire work.
‘ Luckily, because I had been Storm, I was used to flying. I’ve had a lot of wire work and a lot of experience that way. So putting on that harness and those wires just seemed like something that I was used to doing,’ she said. ‘ I did actually take a real zero G flight so I have really experienced being weightless and understanding what that is. So that sense memory certainly helps me be able to - when I have those wires on, to assimilate being in a weightless environment.’ The 47-year-old admitted being in zero gravity made her sick - literally. ‘T hat was pretty amazing, actually. And the first time I felt the sense of weightlessness I was surprised that it took very little energy for me to move. You just kind of lift off the ground,’ she said.

Jeffrey Katzenberg and Charlie Hunnam also took home top honors at the the Huading Awards, which were held in the United States for the first time over the weekend.

Halle Berry, Guillermo del Toro, Charile Hunnam and Jeffrey Katzenberg took home top honors at China’s equivalent of the Oscars, the Huading Awards, held for the first time in the U.S. at the Montalban theater in Hollywood on Sunday night. The live telecast reached more than 800 million viewers in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, where 80 million fans voted for the best in the film industry, signaling an evolving relationship between the U.S. and Chinese film market.Del Toro received the best global director award and expressed that his film Pacific Rim was an example of his respect and serious partnership with China.

“I first went to Hong Kong as a very young man, and I found it so unique and so beautiful at age 22 that I thought one day I’ll put it in a movie,” said Del Toro. “I tried to reproduce what made it so magical and rich for me. When a movie finds an audience as vast and as loving as Pacific Rim was able to find in China, it’s a very special moment for a filmmaker.”

Del Toro also hinted at the possible sequel for Pacific Rim when speaking with reporters backstage.
“Many, many countries in the pacific rim are mentioned or have moments in the film, and we tried to research and treat each of the images of those countries with a lot of care and attention to detail,” said del Toro. “Hopefully for Pacific Rim we can go to some of them for the sequel, yes?”
Berry was named best global icon, Jeremy Renner was awarded best global supporting actor and Orlando Bloom won for best global actor icon. Composer Hans Zimmer was presented with the lifetime achievement award for his motion picture scores that helped bring countless films including The Lion King and Pirates of the Caribbean to life, but he said he preferred calling it the “just getting started” award.
“While everyone used to be in school I used to sneak off and watch kung fu movies,” said Zimmer. “My dream came true when I was asked to do Kung Fu Panda. All this time of not actually spending time at school actually paid off well, but I’m not sure you should emulate this.”
Hosted by actress Lucy Liu and Chinese television personality Olivia Xu, the show featured performances from Jabbawockeez (winners of MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew), the Shaolin Warriors, The Voice China winner Summer Jikejunyi, and magician Master Zhao. Zoe Saldana was recognized as best global supporting actress, Bradley Cooper was voted as best global actor and actors Jordana Brewster and Tyrese Gibson accepted the best global movie award for Fast & Furious 6 in memory of Paul Walker. On the red carpet, Brewster said it was difficult shooting the seventh installment of the franchise following the loss of Walker.
DreamWorks CEO Katzenberg accepted the best global film award for The Croods and reminded the audience of the third Kung Fu Panda film slated to be released in China. Brett Ratner greeted the audience speaking Mandarin and previewed a clip of his new film, Hercules, which will star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. While the Oscars this year rose to 43.7 million viewers, the Huading awards reaches one of the largest audiences celebrating the achievements of many prominent American entertainers with an additional 400 million watching online.
“I find it incredibly gratifying and rewarding as a filmmaker to have recognition with 80 million that liked the movie,” said Del Toro. “That’s impossible almost to imagine in any other award. It’s such a massive outpour and affection for a film that to a filmmaker is like a child. It’s 80 million people saying they like my child, which is absolutely awesome.”

Since 2006, the Beijing-based media company Global Talents Media Group has recognized talent in entertainment and athletics. Producer-director Don Mischer, who is no stranger to producing some America’s most-watched productions such as the Oscars, Emmy Awards, Super Bowl Halftime shows and President Obama’s inaugural concert at the Lincoln Memorial, said with more of an exchange between cultures in the creative areas he wanted to take a baby step toward producing the Huading Awards.
“Here in Hollywood, people understand the importance of the Chinese audience,” Mischer told The Hollywood Reporter. “We’re in Hollywood because it kind of makes sense to be here since most of their favorites [in China] are based in Hollywood and it’s something they wanted to try so we’ll see how it works. It’s not big scale now, it’s small red carpet, small theater, but this thing could catch on, and it could really build into something more significant because you’ve got the two largest movie markets in the world here."
