Halle Berry marked her 60th birthday by sharing a series of bikini photographs on social media. The actress posted the images on Sunday, continuing her birthday celebrations from a holiday getaway.
In the photos, Berry, who entered her sixth decade on Friday, is seen in a black and white bikini, showcasing her physique. She posted the images from a beach and the pool area of her villa, accompanied by the caption "Nothing is B&W" and the hashtag "#leoseason."
The actress, engaged to musician Van Hunt, also offered a glimpse of her engagement ring in one of the snapshots. Previously, Berry shared a steamy photo with Hunt, taken on her actual birthday, where she wore a red silk robe.
Berry has spoken openly about her approach to aging, stating that she feels it is a privilege. "I feel stronger, smarter, wiser, more myself, more in control, I'm the best version of myself at the moment and I'm so glad that I'm still here and healthy," she said in a June interview on the TODAY show.
Beyond her personal reflections on aging, Berry has become an advocate for menopause and perimenopause awareness. She has stated her mission is "not to be erased" in Hollywood as she enters this new life stage, noting that women can feel marginalized or devalued as they age.
"You get to this age where you feel like you're being marginalized, devalued. You feel it at work. You feel it from society," Berry told The Cut earlier this year. "But I have adamantly decided I am not going to allow myself to be erased. That's why I'm on my menopause mission. I'm going to be louder than I have ever been."
To manage symptoms such as brain fog and exhaustion, Berry has modified her diet and incorporated strength training into her fitness routine. She adheres to a strict ketogenic diet, which she began following after being diagnosed with diabetes at age 22. This dietary approach involves a low-carbohydrate, high-fat intake, and she has eliminated added sugars and most fruits.
"I know some of you are wondering, 'how could you ever swear off bread?.' But just like with sugar, when you give your body enough time without it, your palette changes and it loses its appeal," Berry stated. Her diet for nearly two decades has included steak, lamb, chicken, eggs, and leafy greens.
Her fitness regimen, guided by her personal trainer, includes working out five days a week with activities such as yoga, strength training, cardio, and martial arts. Berry has shifted her routine to include weightlifting, aiming to build muscle mass, which she performs at least twice a week. "Right now, I'm trying to put muscle mass on, so I lift weights now, and I never used to lift weights before," she said previously. "Now I just do pretty much boring – what I find boring – but it's necessary for this stage of life, really just heavier weights than I've ever lifted."
