![Halle Berry arrives at the Oscars.](/web/20170228143157im_/http://www.theage.com.au/content/dam/images/g/u/l/z/o/q/image.related.articleLeadwide.620x349.gum14r.png/1488171273731.jpg)
Halle Berry (who doesn't appear to be ageing, like at all) has sparked comparisons to vintage Whitney Houston and much chatter on social media with her Oscars hair.
Shutting it down in custom Atelier Versace, Berry, who is so far the only woman of colour to win for best actress, wore her hair natural and curly.
As Berry told Vogue of her embellished, one-shoulder Atelier Versace dress, "I have always marched to the beat to my own drum, and I think this red-carpet look encapsulates that."
"The dress is glamorous with a sense of romance that made me feel feminine and fresh. With this look, I celebrate my natural hair by allowing it to be wild and free," she said.
Berry's look has attracted plenty of discussion on social media, with people either really into it, or really not.
