When it comes to celebrating milestones, Halle Berry knows how to do it in style. On Monday, August 14, the stunning actress turned 57, and she made sure to mark the occasion with her family. Surrounded by love—and plenty of pink!—Halle headed to the World of Barbie pop-up in Santa Monica, California, with her 15-year-old daughter Nahla and her boyfriend, Van Hunt. The trio made the most of their day, exploring all things Barbie in a celebration that was both fun and unforgettable.
For this special outing, Halle shared a glimpse of her daughter Nahla, although she kept her face private, as always. The photos show Nahla towering over her mom, who stands at 5-foot-5, in a sweet nod to how much the teen has grown. Halle herself was dressed to impress in pink platform shoes and pink cowboy boots with high heels, proving that she’s still got that signature style. The Bruised star brought her A-game as she and her family enjoyed an afternoon full of Barbie magic.
In a carousel of photos on Instagram, Halle wrote in her caption, “My mini me (but not so mini anymore) and my VanO took me to the World of Barbie for my B-day! I got to let my inner Barbie soar!!!! I love you guys …thank you!” She also added a recommendation for others to check out the exhibit, which features the iconic Barbie Dream House brought to life, Barbie’s Dream camper van, and dolls and accessories spanning the last six decades.

Friends and Fans Celebrate Halle's Special Day
The comments section was flooded with well-wishes from friends and fans alike. Pal Eva Mendes gushed, “Happy Birthday Goddess,” while actress Lena Waithe chimed in with, “Happy birthday! Love you.” Fans couldn’t help but notice Nahla’s height, with one pointing out that she stands at 5-foot-8, likely still growing given her model father Gabriel Aubry’s towering 6-foot-4 stature.
Style Spotlight: Mother and Daughter in Pink
Nahla looked every bit the princess in a frilly pink minidress with a tied-up corset-style back. She accessorized with dark red locks styled in a short bob and white sunglasses that pulled her hair back. Halle, ever the style icon, opted for a pink mini slip dress with a feathery band across the top. She swapped her signature short, choppy blonde hairstyle for long, flowing brunette tresses, proving once again that she’s a queen of reinvention.
Halle has often spoken about the deep bond she shares with her daughter. In a heartfelt tribute posted in March 2023 for Nahla’s 15th birthday, she wrote, “One of the greatest gifts the universe has given me is my daughter, Nahla. She is the sun that never fades and the moon that never wanes!” The John Wick: Chapter 3 star shared a photo of Nahla from behind as a child alongside a more recent one where the teen pulled a cap down over her eyes.
Halle's Journey as a Mom and Beyond
Halle’s journey as a mother began when she met model Gabriel Aubry in 2005. The couple welcomed Nahla in 2008 but parted ways in 2010. Halle went on to have a second child, son Maceo Robert Martinez, with her ex-husband Olivier Martinez. Maceo was born in October 2013, shortly after their wedding in France. Though Halle and Olivier’s marriage ended in 2015, she’s remained devoted to her children, always putting their well-being first. In September 2020, she announced her romance with musician Van Hunt, who has become an important part of her family.
