Halle Berry has debuted a new power-suit look, stepping out in a bright and bold red suit accessorised with a sultry black shirt – and it's one of our favourite of her looks yet.
When summer rolls around, many of us may be inclined to fill our summer capsule wardrobes with floating midi dresses and summer-ready mini skirts, but Halle Berry has reminded us that, no matter the weather, a power suit will always be the perfect attire for any occasion.
Posting to Instagram, the actress and activist shared a snap of herself in a bright and bold red power suit combo, with a pair of mid-rise, straight leg trousers and sharply tailored jacket elegantly flattering her frame.
Under the jacket, she wore a sheer, black shirt with a sultry, deep v-neckline tucked into the trouser waistband. The sharp contrast between the black and the red makes for a stunning, powerful and sultry look which Berry paired perfectly with her natural messy waves and minimal makeup.

With a fitted silhouette, notched lapel collar, and padded shoulders, the tailoring of this blazer promises a chic and stylish finish.
With a mid-rise high-waist and masculine, loose straight-leg design, these trousers offer an effortlessly cool look that perfectly balances chic tailoring with a relaxed, laid-back fit.
A more sultry, daring take on the long-sleeve, collared shirt, this sheer, mesh design with stunning lace trims on the front is sure to add some edge to any power suit look.
While we can't see Halle's shoes, from the image background we can see she's likely thinking of a tall, black stiletto to tie in the black shirt to the rest of the look. It would undoubtedly work in adding another sultry accessory to the outfit where the jewellery and other accessories have been kept minimal, though a black sandal or flat would work equally well.
This suit look is not, by far, the first power suit look we've seen from the actress. In fact, it's not even the first red power suit look we've seen from her this year! She recently wore another red power suit, opting for a floral shirt under her jacket and it gave the suit a completely different feel.
