Halle Bailey re-creates Halle Berry's Bond girl orange bikini look for Halloween

Halle Berry’s iconic film looks were fresh in the minds of celebrities this Halloween, as Halle Bailey led the charge in paying tribute to the Oscar winner on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old singer and actress took to Instagram, sharing sizzling snaps of herself channeling Berry's character, Jinx, from the 2002 James Bond film Die Another Day.

In this 20th installment of the franchise, Jinx makes a stunning entrance, emerging from the ocean in an orange bikini with a white belt and a knife strapped to her side—a bold nod to the classic Bond girl aesthetic.

Bailey looked equally stunning in her homage, perfectly embodying Berry's spy persona and captioning her bikini snaps with 'Halloween 2024.'

Her tribute appeared to inspire other stars to join in, with Tyla and Coi Leray recreating Berry's looks from The Flintstones and Catwoman, respectively.

Tyla channeled Berry’s character Sharon Stone from the 1994 live-action adaptation of the classic animated series.

In the film, Berry’s character is known for her striking animal print dress, and Tyla’s modern twist paid homage to that iconic look while maintaining impressive attention to detail.

She captioned her photos with a cheeky line: 'Well I’ve been a very bad girl, but you have to admit… I was very verrrrry good at it. @halleberry.'

Rapper Coi Leray looked absolutely purr-fect as she channeled Berry’s Patience Phillips, the timid graphic designer who transforms into the fierce superheroine in 2004's Catwoman.

Berry's striking appearance in a sleek black leather catsuit remains etched in the minds of fans, despite the film receiving heavy criticism for its lackluster script and direction.

Despite the poor reception, Berry infamously won a Razzie Award for Worst Actress, making her the first person to win both an Oscar and a Razzie, having previously won the Oscar for Best Actress for 2001's Monster's Ball.

Back in 2021 during a conversation with Vogue, Berry discussed the iconic James Bond orange bikini, emphasizing that curating the perfect ensemble was no easy task.

'We tried on so many bathing suits,' she told the publication. 'So many bikinis and so many belts.'

'We had a knowing that it would maybe, because it was in a Bond movie, become an iconic situation… something that would live a very, very long time,' the actor added.

Berry also claimed that studios were too scared to support a James Bond spin-off based on Jinx.

Producer Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson lobbied for the character to get her own movie, although MGM were put off by an $80 million price tag, a decision Halle branded as 'disappointing' in a cover interview with Variety.

'It was ahead of its time. Nobody was ready to sink that kind of money into a black female action star. They just weren't sure of its value. That's where we were then.'

Halle Berry looking good in a bikini

Academy Award winning actress, Halle Berry, has consistently been considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. And her recent Instagram post proves it. She shared a photo of herself outside, wearing a tank top, gold jewelry, a patterned shirt, and a bandana. Berry captioned the post, "Mood."

Berry works with trainer, Peter Lee Thomas, to help her stay in shape. She opened up about working with him on Instagram. "With his help, I have learned so much about fitness and nutrition," she said in her caption. "I'm excited to share it with all of you. He's taught me boxing, self defense, and much more. Not only am I in the best shape of my life, but I can actually defend myself and most importantly . . . my children! As a woman there is nothing more empowering.

Berry opened up about her wellness in an interview with Harper's Bazaar. She says that she makes her health a priority. "Being diagnosed with diabetes—that was an aha moment that just changed my whole life. When I realized that I had a disease that I could actually manage by my diet and exercise, and live longer and stay healthier? That's when I got really committed to making fitness and exercise and diet a real part of my life."

Berry said in her Harper's Bazaar interview that taking care of her gut is extremely important. "Everything stems from your gut. As I've said, all of your other organs become healthier when your gut is healthy and your microbiome is balanced. And when your gut's healthy, you also metabolize food better, especially sugar. We all need to metabolize sugar better to get it in and out of our bodies as quickly as we can, because we all know some of the unhealthy effects of sugar."

When it comes to fitness, Berry believes in doing a variety of things. She shared her workout routine with InStyle. "Over the past few years, I went from training for John Wick 3 to my upcoming film and directorial debut BRUISED. Some days I'd work on strength and cardio and others I'd do yoga and stretching, all while I did a few hours of martial arts training each day. For me, it's been important not to overstress my body. Taking cold hot showers has been a good recovery ritual."

Berry makes sure to take care of her mental health, and shared her favorite ways to do so with InStyle. "I've also found that taking care of my mental health has been crucial during these odd times. I just launched my Journal on Joy at rē·spin which is part of my bedtime routine. It is a space to record memories that make you smile and helps me focus on positivity and gratitude. Also reading self-help books on ways to stay grounded and centered during this time has been widely helpful and inspirational."

Halle Berry looking great as always

It was definitely not a cold and frosty holiday season for Halle Berry, who spent the run up to Christmas in intense heat out in the desert. Berry, 57, shared a picture of herself posing by rocks in the sand, wearing a black one-piece swimsuit. "Couldn't hide these rocks ?," she captioned the post.

Berry (still!) swears by intermittent fasting for health and energy. "The first thing I take in the morning is vitamin A-D-K, fish oils, and collagen in my coffee," she tells Marie Claire. "Then, I take either Pendulum Metabolic Daily or Glucose Control supplements. Their probiotics have been really helping me heal some gut issues that I've had. I stopped eating breakfast over 20 years ago. Everybody needs to break their fast from the night at different times, and so I've learned to really listen to my own body and not follow those conventional thoughts that, 'Oh, breakfast is the best meal.'

The best meal is whenever you break fast. And for me, that's around 2:00 p.m. every day. I start off my morning with one cup of coffee, and that's all I'll have until 2 p.m. And I use hazelnut, like milked hazelnuts instead of any kind of milk, and I do a sugar substitute, and that gets me through."

Berry works out in the mornings after the school run. "I workout usually every day, or four days a week, sometimes five, depending, but usually four days a week," she tells Marie Claire. "My fitness routine changes. Some days it's more cardiovascular-heavy. Some days it's working with light weights. Sometimes it's calisthenics, sometimes it's yoga, sometimes it's Pilates. I just recently got a Pilate machine at home, which I love, love, love. Sometimes it's that. I just try to mix it up. I think our bodies get used to the same exercises. So for me, it's always been important to do different things all the time."

Berry lets herself indulge in non-healthy treats now and then. "I can enjoy a bag of salt and vinegar chips and a Diet Coke with the best of them," she tells The Kit. "It's important to have cheat days—days when you allow yourself to fall off the wagon. That's what helps me stay on my journey: not feeling pressure to be perfect, but to simply do my best."

Berry closes her eating window four hours after breaking her fast. "I eat my last meal around 5:30 p.m and by 6 p.m., I'm done eating," she tells Marie Claire. "So from 2:00 to 6:00 are the times that I eat food. When I'm winding down, I usually start with a glass of red wine. I found these wines by Dry Farms. They're a natural wine. They have a low sugar content and they're lower in alcohol, so it makes it an easier drinking wine. Heart disease runs in my family, and so my heart doctor's like, 'If you can have a glass of a natural red once a day, that's good for heart health.' So that's something that's not every night, but four times a week."

Berry appreciates compliments about her achievements more than her looks, which she feels she can't take as much credit for. "I probably don't think about it as much as maybe others do, actually," she tells PEOPLE. "I focus on so many other things in my life. So many other aspects of who I am get way more focus than what my physical self looks like. So it's not something I focus on… I love when someone says, 'You're a great mother,' or, 'You're a talented actress.' Those are the things that I appreciate more, because those are things I work very hard at every day. Physical beauty, I don't have much to do with that. We come here the way we all come here, and it's so subjective. What one thinks is beautiful, one does not. I, personally, don't spend that much time on that part of who I am."

Halle Berry Stuns In Sexy Bikini to Celebrate 20 Years Of James Bond

Halle Berry is celebrating 20 years since her Bond girl days in the movie Die Another Day. The 56-year-old actress was all anyone could talk about back in 2002, as she starred alongside Pierce Brosnan in the James Bond spy movie franchise, and she's just marked the anniversary on Instagram. Halle became iconic for her bikini-clad ocean exit as she rocked orange swimwear 20 years ago. Just this week, the Oscar winner posted a red-hot throwback from the flick, one seeing her flaunting her killer curves and muscles in her halterneck bikini. Fans have left over 121,000 likes.

20 Years Since 'James Bond' Moment

Halle played Bond girl Jinx in the movie. Footage showed the MMA-trained actress walking out of the ocean and towards the shore while stripped down to a tiny, busty orange bikini. Halle also drew attention to her toned abs as she wore a thick white and buckled belt to accessorize her swimwear.

The actress shared footage that included British actor Pierce, 69. In a caption honoring two decades since the release of the movie, Halle wrote: "It's been 20 years. Pierce Brosnan forever my BOND! @piercebrosnanofficial."

Of course, ladies man James Bond is seen checking Halle out in the video - Pierce watches Halle emerge from the ocean through a pair of binoculars.

Why She Accepted The Role

In 2021, Halle looked back on her Bond days and also revealed why she decided to take on the role of Jinx.

“I was really excited about Bond because that’s a franchise that’s iconic. It’s a part of film history, really, so to be a part of that franchise was very meaningful to me. And this version of a Bond woman was very different than any Bond woman I had seen before.," she told Collider.

"When Barbara Broccoli came to me with the role, she explained that I would get to be a different kind - a new kind - of Bond girl. Which would allow me to be more active and sort of be… working alongside Bond in a new way, and that really excited me," she added.

On The List Of 'Bond' Girls

Bond girls have also included actresses Ana de Armas, Ursula Andress, Monica Bellucci, Naomie Harris, and Lea Seydoux. Halle also remains known for her roles in movies Monster's Ball and Catwoman.

Halle Berry doesn’t have to do much to get people talking

The actress post her latest photoshoot, posing on the beach in a bikini along with some interesting accessories. While her swimsuit seems to be a basic black two-peice, on top, Berry is wearing a sheer black trenchcoat along with some black lace fingerless gloves.

Her hair is black with some light blonde/grey streaks throughout, which she wore in a beachy up-do. Halle accessorized with some gold bracelets and a pair of studded cat-eye sunglasses.

She debuted her new hairdo just last month, which came only a few days after Berry expressed hopes of revisiting her role as Storm once again.

“I would absolutely return to it, it’s a beloved character, I loved playing Storm, and people love Storm,” Halle Berry told last December. “So, I would absolutely, you know, if we could find a version that would make sense, or a storyline that would make sense, I would absolutely do that, for sure.”

While Doctor Strange 2 is set to hit theaters in May, Benedict Cumberbatch recently confirmed that the film is still undergoing reshoots, so it’s possible Halle Berry will be a part of it.

Of course, this is Marvel we’re talking about, so we’ll have to wait until it drops next month to find out if she’s in the movie or not.

Halle Berry was born a bikini babe

While reflecting on her greatest fashion moments of all time, the 55-year-old revealed new details about her “iconic Bond bathing suit” that made film history in the early aughts.

As part of Vogue’s Life in Looks series, the actress broke down 12 epic style moments from 1986 to today — and it’s only right that her famous itty-bitty orange bikini made the cut.

Halle Berry debuted the unforgettable bikini in the 2002 James Bond film, Die Another Day, in which she played Jinx, a fictional NSA operative. The top was a traditional style, while the bottom featured a thick white belt.

“We tried on so many bathing suits,” she told viewers as the sexy swimsuit flashed on screen. “So many bikinis and so many belts.”

“This looks effortless, but this was a whole situation,” she explained, adding that “choosing the color and the right fit” was a challenge.

When Berry and her team were picking out the bikini, they had an inkling that it would go down in history. “We had a knowing that it would, maybe, because it was in a Bond movie, become an iconic situation,” she said, “Something that would live a very, very long time.”

But making it look effortlessly sexy wasn’t exactly a walk in the park, even though it sure looked like it! “The biggest acting challenge I had was to make it look like the water was warm and I was having a grand old time when I was freezing my butt off,” she revealed.

The latter proves that the Ohio native was born for the role. “This was sort of a badass Bond Girl — she was on par with Bond,” Berry explained. “She was very much his partner. And that was really exciting for me.”

Last year, Berry made headlines for recreating the iconic Die Another Day bikini. The actress took to Instagram wearing an orange Boohoo swimwear design that bore major resemblance to the OG number. She teamed the bathing suit with a wide-brimmed straw hat from the accessories brand Hat Attack.

You won't believe Tori Braxton is 53 years old

This time the blond bombshell is sharing pool time excursions with the world in a burnt orange thong bikini.

The 53-year-old eldest Braxton sister has been flaunting her insanely fit bikini body for a few months now. She is the true definition of getting finer with age. After 2 kids and a serious battle with lupus, the award-winning singer looks like she’s in the best shape of her life.

We’ve always been impressed with Toni’s nonchalant, confident vibe. First of all, we want whatever her magic potion she’s drinking that allows her to make 53 look like 23.

She is in an elite class of women who have been defying the law of aging. Women like Nia Long, Sanaa Lathan, and Halle Berry have been showing us how beautiful and graceful it is to grow older.

After all, the summer just started! Every time a woman like Toni Braxton confidently shares her curves, a wrinkle is removed from someone else’s forehead. In other words, she’s doing the good Lord’s work by showing us what she’s working with.

Halle Berry is looking ultra-fit at 54 

The John Wick 3 star donned a tiny, multi-colored two-piece as she lounged in the sand on an unspecified overcast beach. “If it requires a bikini, my answer is always yes please!” Berry told.

The actress has detailing her fitness routine, which includes a variety of boxing, resistance band, plank and jumping rope exercises among other activities.

"If anything, I've learned that a 20-minute workout can totally knock you on your butt. In fact, they're often even harder than longer ones," she once told.

Halle is also a big proponent of self confidence. When speaking with a magazine earlier this year, Halle talked about the importance of looking inward and staying connected to who you are when struggling with self doubt.

"We are all so much more than these beautiful bodies that we walk around in. Just work on the internal you and the things you can control," Halle declared.

She continued: "We can't control how we come here and what we look like and what walk of life we're born into. But we can control what we think about things. We can control what we read. We can control what we put out, what we give, what we allow ourselves to take in."

Berry's killer physique is the result of an ongoing fitness journey. Berry revealed that she'd acquired "ripped abs" for the first time in her life at age 54 in 2019.

Ana de Armas emerges from the sea as she treated herself to a well-deserved holiday

Ana de Armas appeared to emulate her predecessors including Die Another Day star Halle Berry and Dr. No's Ursula Andress as she emerged from the sea in a radiant snap posted to her Instagram account on Sunday.

The War Dogs actress, 31, sent temperatures soaring in a navy paisley print bikini as she treated herself to a well-deserved holiday with her gal pal after wrapping up filming for the spy movie.

Displaying her enviably toned physique, the screen star looked typically sensational in her classic triangle bikini top and matching briefs.

With her tresses styled into beachy waves, the Cuban bombshell proved less is certainly more as she opted for a glowing, make-up free appearance.

Ana appeared to pay homage to actress Ursula - who played Honey Ryder in the 1962 film edition of the franchise and Halle's Jinx who became the first African-American Bond Girl in 2002.

In April, Ana was confirmed as one of the cast members of the 25th installment in the Bond franchise - which was filmed in Italy over the summer.

The film star will be one of the franchise's iconic Bond Girls, following in the footsteps of actresses including Eva Green and Rosamund Pike.

Ana made the successful crossover to Hollywood in 2015 alongside Keanu in Knock Knock and then went on to work with Ryan Gosling and Robin Wright in 2017's Blade Runner 2049.

Halle Berry is enjoying the last few moments of summer

The 53-year-old Oscar winner posted a sultry new photo on social media on Thursday of herself lounging by a pool.

"You have to break from the grind, clear your mind, and enjoy some me time," she captioned the photo, which featured the actress in a swimsuit as she shaded her face from the sun with a large straw hat.

The "John Wick 3" star listed "get bad a banging abs" as one of her top New Year's resolutions in 2019, according to Women's Health, citing one of Berry's Instagram Stories. To help accomplish this, Berry said she wanted to try Bikram yoga.

But Berry says diet is just as important if not more important than exercise.

"I think the most important part of being healthy and in great shape largely depends on what and when you eat," wrote Berry on Jan.26, noting that she's had to take food "very seriously" because she's diabetic. "So for years, I have been following the keto or ketogenic diet. I hate the word “diet” so while you’ll see the word diet, just know I encourage you to think of it as a lifestyle change NOT A DIET! Keto is a very low-carb food plan which actually forces your body to burn fat like crazy."

"I also believe it’s been largely responsible for slowing down my aging process," Berry continued.

Halle Berry shares some of her beauty secrets that keep her looking so young

Halle Berry revealed that she swears by using facial masks to keep her skin looking supple. She also shared that she uses the “ageless” mask from Olga Lorencin Skin Care.

As Marie Claire Magazine reports, it’s a two-step skin care treatment. The first mask exfoliates, while the second one hydrates. You wear the hydration mask overnight and it’s meant to nourish your skin with ingredients that help make the skin look smoother.

It’s also no secret that Halle Berry works out a lot. But she has said that she was forced to increase the intensity of her workouts to prepare for John Wick, so that she could convincingly kick butt alongside the film’s lead, Keanu Reeves. The training was so intense that Halle broke three ribs in the process.

“This was on another level. I trained for about six months, five days a week,” she said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “It was gun training, jiu-jitsu, aikido, all different kinds of martial arts. I broke three ribs at one point. When I broke the ribs I thought, ‘Oh, this is it, they’re going to recast me,’ but Chad [the director] said he was going to wait for me. And he waited for me, and I went back into training, and kept going.”

But luckily, all that hard work paid off. The film did well at the box office and knocked Avengers: Endgame from the the No. 1 movie spot at one point. Not the worst trade off for a couple of broken ribs.

The Best and most memorable Bikini scenes in a Movie, the first two being Bo Derek and Halle Berry

These are the first two of ten Best Bikini Scenes in a Movie. Check back for the next eight.  

Bo Derek in the movie 10. One of the most memorable, and most parodied, bikini moments in Hollywood history came courtesy of Derek's famous, slow-motion beach jog in 1979's  movie 10. (Let’s not get technical, in 1979 this one piece was just as sexy as a bikini.) 

The comedy starred Dudley Moore as a middle-aged man who believes Derek to be the perfect woman.

The beach sequence, which occurs in Moore's dream, showed Derek bouncing towards Moore in a tiny, flesh-toned bikini. The scene, and her cornrow hairstyle, helped make Derek a bona fide Hollywood sex symbol for years to come.

Halle Berry in the movie Die Another Day. Berry made history as the first black Bond girl in 2002's Die Another Day, but her character also paid homage to one of the franchise's earliest heroines.

The scene in which she emerges from the ocean wearing a belted orange bikini is a direct throwback to Andress's Honey Ryder in Dr. No.

Lindy Hemming, the film's costume designer, insisted she wear the bikini with a knife as a tribute. "It's splashy, it's exciting, it's sexy, it's provocative and it's fun,” she said.
