Halle Berry Hails Zendaya's Emmy Look as Night-Murdering Tribute

Zendaya walked the Emmys 2026 red carpet in an euphoric custom Prada gown featuring bedazzled sheer fabric, crystals, and a plunging neckline. Styled by Law Roach with Mikimoto pearls and diamonds, her ensemble directly referenced Halle Berry's iconic silver look from "Die Another Day." Zendaya debuted the pixie cut associated with that film while receiving nominations for Euphoria Season 3 and presenting an award.

Halle Berry reacted to the tribute on social media by posting photos of herself alongside Zendaya. She captioned her posts, "She murdered the night," after sharing a video from The Drew Barrymore show where she playfully discussed playing Zendaya's mother in a future film. This admiration is not new; at a 2021 Sundance panel, Berry described Zendaya as proof of changing times and called her a walking embodiment of Black women's success in Hollywood.
