The actress stepped out for the 93rd Academy Awards wearing a stunning purple gown and showcasing a short new hairdo with trendy micro fringe. The star looked thrilled with her choppy new bob as she posed for the cameras in her gorgeous Dolce & Gabbana dress. Halle looked amazing in the strapless design with its eye-catching purple hue, ruched bodice and flowing material.

When it comes to hairstyles, Halle is an A-list chameleon, changing up her look to suit not only her acting roles but also her personal style. Earlier in the month, the star had mid-length locks, before deciding to go for the dramatic chop.

Back in 2017 was the last time that Halle was presenting at the awards, and then she had a totally different look with voluminous natural-looking curls – but again, one thing remained the same, she looked utterly incredible.
Breaking the Academy Awards' almost hundred-year-old history of male dominated categories, this is the first year more than one female director has been nominated in the 'Best Director' category.
