Halle Berry is Chainkeenthrowing it back to the night she made Hollywood history 22 years ago.
On Wednesday night, the "Catwoman" actress made a surprise appearance in Saudi Arabia during the 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab runway show in Riyadh, which celebrated 45 years of the Lebanese designer's creations. During the show, she strutted down the catwalk in the iconic red Saab gown with a sheer bodice that she wore to the 2002 Academy Awards, where she became the first Black woman to take home the best actress Oscar.
After the announcer shared the backstory of her dress, Berry arrived at the end of the runway and patted her hand over her heart, seemingly moved by the moment as wind blew through the train, causing the satin fabric to billow behind her.
Berry shared a video from her runway appearance on Instagram and added a message about what the moment meant.
"There are some moments in life that just happen and they change our lives forever! Winning an Academy Award in my @eliesaabworld gown was one of those moments for me!" she captioned the post. "Thank you Mr. Saab for being a part of the tapestry of my life as we have been inextricably connected for 22 years now! It was my honor to celebrate you and your 1001 Seasons. Here’s wishing you many more glorious years of joy, creativity and glamour!"

Berry reportedly revealed that Wednesday was her first time meeting Saab, despite the role he played in her career.
Since becoming an iconic fashion moment at the Oscars, Berry's gown at one point was on display alongside other historic sartorial pieces from the Oscars at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.
