Halle Berry just resurrected one of her most iconic looks ever.

Wednesday night, the “Catwoman” actress attended the 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab runway show, looking incredible in the same dress she memorably wore while accepting the Oscar for best actress in 2002.

Thanks to her role in “Monster’s Ball,” Berry was the first black woman in history to take home the accolade, making the gown — which features a burgundy skirt and sheer bodice adorned with floral appliqué — all the more special.

According to The Cut, the dress has been displayed at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, apparently waiting for the actress, 58, to reclaim it.
