Berry’s handsome partner, 53, looked dashing in a black ensemble as they posed for pictures at the charity fundraiser.
The 6th annual soiree was held at the Avalon Hollywood and benefited the LA County High School for the Arts, the number one arts high school in the country.

Berry and Hunt — an acclaimed singer and multi-instrumentalist who specializes in soul, funk and rock music — have been romantically involved for three years.
‘I wish I had met him sooner so I could have loved him longer,’ the X-Men star rhapsodized to Women’s Health last year.
‘I just feel fulfilled,’ gushed the Catwoman star. ‘I feel happy in my life romantically, as a mother, as an artist.’
Berry shares a 15-year-old daughter named Nahla with her ex-partner Gabriel Aubrey, 46 — a male supermodel — and a 10-year-old son named Maceo with ex-husband Olivier Martinez, 57, a French actor.
‘I’m a much better mother in this circumstance than I would have been had I stayed in a romantic relationship that didn’t serve me and didn’t make me feel the way I need to feel as a woman,’ she told Women’s Health.
The A-lister met her latest love during the COVID pandemic and ‘spent four months talking on the phone,’ letting their ‘brains connect and discover’ each other before their ‘bodies decided to get involved.’
‘I fell in love with his mind,’ Berry told AARP magazine. ‘His conversation.’
The Monster’s Ball star wished her musician a happy 53rd birthday earlier this month via Instagram, posting a few romantic snaps and a loving tribute.

Hunt is a Grammy winning musician who appeared on the first season of Ellen DeGeneres’s talk show in 2004. Halle also appeared on that season.
‘You mean you could’ve found me 20 years and saved me all this misery I’ve been through,’ she joked to DeGeneres last year. ‘How come you didn’t arrange that, Ellen?’
Berry was previously married to David Justice from 1993 to 1997, Eric Benet from 2001 to 2005 and Olivier Martinez from 2013 to 2016.
