Berry, who was a presenter at this year's Oscars, remains the only Black woman to receive an Oscar for best actress in a leading role.

To accept her award for \"Monster's Ball\" in 2002, the actress wore an unforgettable Elie Saab dress and her then signature pixie cut.

She also turned heads in 2017 when she attended the Oscar Awards wearing a sparkling Atelier Versace dress along with a head full of voluminous natural curls.
