The actress was presented with the Lacoste Spotlight Award by Samuel L Jackson at a ceremony held on Tuesday in Beverly Hills.
"Halle looked radiant and seemed giddy on stage," a source told People.
"She stuck completely on topic of the event and didn't mention anything about her personal life, but she had a happy aura. She even skipped away from the podium when her speech was done, and gave Samuel L Jackson a big hug."
The insider went on to say that Berry was nearly mobbed by photographers while on the event's red carpet, adding: "Even as a veteran celebrity, she seemed overwhelmed by all of the madness surrounding her entrance.
"She posed for photos for several minutes before dashing inside to the cocktail hour."
