The actress, who is now seven months pregnant, won a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on Saturday (January 5). She revealed that she felt liberated now that she does not need to worry as much about her appearance.
Berry told People magazine, "It is true that I am three times the girl I usually am. I have to say there are some really wonderful things that come along with that. This is the first red carpet that I’ve really walked down where I didn’t have to think about holding in my stomach – because I can’t. It’s the first time I’ve been to an awards show where they served a meal and I actually ate it – the whole thing. I was eating off everybody else’s plate and that felt very liberating and good."
The actress is anxiously awaiting the arrival of her first baby with her boyfriend, model Gabriel Aubry.
