Halle Berry and Cate Blanchett show off their baby bumps

They may both be heavily pregnant but that doesn't stop them being stylish.

But while a curly-haired Halle Berry, 42, went for casual chic, Cate Blanchett, 38, went for full blown goddess glamour as she attended a red-carpet event.

The Oscar-winner, who is expecting her third child, was at the 23rd Santa Barbara International Film Festival held at the Arlington Theatre.

She appeared elegantly dressed in a draped green gown partnered with brightly beaded accessories.


Halle Berry, meanwhile, teamed her skin tight dress with strings of gold chains when she met a friend for lunch in Universal City, Los Angeles.

Earlier this week, she was seen out in blue jeans, a cream tight-fitting top and carrying the much sought-after Smythson Nancy bag, she proved the ultimate yummy-mummy-to-be as she was shielded from the rain by her bodyguard.

Halle even managed to wear high heels despite her extra weight.

The ever-expanding Halle is expected to give birth in March.

The Oscar winner has long waited for her most important role, as a mother, and is busy preparing for the birth of her first child with her partner, model Gabriel Aubry, 32.

However, she is still keeping one eye on the prize.

She revealed that she is desperate to work with fellow Oscar winner Denzel Washington but is determined to wait until she's offered the perfect script.

The star won an Academy Award for her role in 2001's Monster's Ball at the same ceremony which saw Washington pick up the Best Actor accolade for Training Day.

And Berry is convinced the pair will team up for a film in the future.

She said: "I still want to work with Denzel Washington. I'm hoping that one day the right script will come along and Denzel will give me a call."
