The Latest in Celebrity Fashion, Beauty and Fitness

Halle Berry suddenly chopped all of her hair off in preparation for a new movie role. Halle will be shaving her head completed for Nappilily Ever After. She’s always looked great with short hair, but I think I liked her longer hair better.

Halle Berry dished with Allure Magazine about her new perfume, Halle by Halle Berry, and she shared some beauty tips and advice she’s learned over the years.

On her fragrance:
It’s sensual, but it has an earthy, everyday quality, and that’s who I am.

On skincare secrets:
Honestly I think it’s genetics. I’ve been wearing SPF 30 everyday for 20 years.

Her daily beauty ritual:
Usually a little powder and lip balm. I’m a minimalist. I don’t always do mascara, because I don’t like taking it off at night.

Hair tips she’s learned over the years:
Have a great hairstylist.

On whether or not she misses having short hair:
I will go back, but it was time for a change. I had short hair for two decades. You know, there are only so many ways you can work a pixie.

Advice for looking good in photos:
The most important thing is knowing if you have a good side that looks better , and then favoring that side.

On finding her best side:
Lots of terrible pictures.

Halle Berry made her first public appearance at the Silver Rose Gala Auction in Beverly Hills since giving birth at the to her daughter, Nahla Ariela Aubry. Halle recenty said in InStyle magazine: “it’s a perfect time to be pregnant, because everything in fashion is loose-fitting with an Empire waist.” Looks like she is carrying over this style into her post-maternity wardrobe with an empire waisted leopard print babydoll dress.

The actress seems to have lost almost all of the weight she gained while being pregnant. Halle used the Fresh Mommy program, which is a food delivery service intended for new moms to help shed some pounds. I think she looks great, maybe even better than before she was pregnant!

New celebrity moms like Melissa Joan Hart and Halle Berry are finding ways to quickly drop the weight they’ve gained during their pregnancy so they can get into perfect shape for the camera. Mellisa Joan Hart is a fan of the Fresh Mommy program. A meal delivery whose meals are balanced to maximize nutritional value for women who are pregnant and new mothers who are breastfeeding. Melissa eats three meals a day, three snacks, and a small dessert which is all delivered daily (super-helpful when taking care of a newborn).

Fitness is also a part of Melissa’s pregnancy weight-loss plan. She did Prenatal Pilates throughout her second pregnancy and because of that she only gained 35 lbs. Post-pregnancy her workout includes resistance training to help increase muscle tone.

New mommy Halle Berry is relying on yoga, swimming and light weights to drop her pregnancy weight. Halle is working extra hard since she will be debuting her post-pregnancy body on April 27th at a charity event.
