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.'

Sharon Stone looks stunning as she strips off to print bikini for dip in the pool

Sharon Stone looked incredible as she stripped off to a zebra print bikini for a dip in the pool.

The actress took to Instagram to share a clip of her flaunting her curves while exiting the water.

Basic Instinct star Sharon had her hair pushed back and accessorised with dark glasses.

She was also wearing ankle weights suggesting the swim wasn't for leisure.

Fans went wild for 66-year-old Sharon's age-defying body and rushed to comment.

One wrote: "Hope I look that great at your age."

Another said: "You look fantastic." And a third added: "I hate you for looking so good!"

Sharon previously opened up about her fitness regime and insisted you don't have to spend hours in the gym to look good.

She told Vogue: "People think that you have to go to the gym and you have to do 3,000 pounds of weight all the time, but you don’t."

Sharon continued: "You have to move your body, and add a little bit of resistance. Periodically throughout the day, I just move my body. I do it when I’m on set."

Arguably one of the most iconic moments of Sharon's career is her infamous leg scene in Basic Instinct.

Sharon's character Catherine Tramell uncrosses her legs to reveal she's not wearing underwear several times during a police interogation in the 1992 thriller.

But she later insisted she had no idea her private parts were actually on show and slapped director Paul Voerhoeven when she saw the final cut.

Sharon claimed she was called in for the viewing with "a room full of agents and lawyers, most of whom had nothing to do with the project"

Writing in her memoir The Beauty of Living Twice, she said: "That was how I saw my vagina-shot for the first time, long after I'd been told, 'We can't see anything - I just need you to remove your panties, as the white is reflecting the light, so we know you have panties on."

Sharon Stone is looking good

The actress bid farewell to summer with a sexy bikini photo.

The Casino star, 64, shared a mirror selfie that showed her rocking a patterned swimsuit. The racy two-piece featured a vibrant colorway and purple string straps. “Why do I always get in shape when summer's over?” Stone joked in the caption.

Through the years, Stone has been hailed as a fashion inspiration due to her dramatic red-carpet looks and outstanding on-camera wardrobe. Her most memorable fashion moments are perhaps the eye-catching ensembles she wore in the 1992 thriller Basic Instinct.

Sharon Stone opened up about the clothes from the film in an essay, revealing she kept every outfit after production wrapped.

“People thought I was crazy, but the truth is I wasn’t getting paid much compared to my male costar,” the actress, who starred alongside Michael Douglas in the Oscar-nominated movie, explained. “I made $500,000. Michael made $14 million. So, keeping my costumes was a really smart thing to do.”

The Beauty of Living Twice author shared that a handful of the items came from fashion houses like Hermes, while other looks were custom-made. However, the standout look — the timeless white dress from the interrogation room scene — was a piece Stone designed herself.

“I remember asking the director, Paul Verhoeven, what he wanted me to wear for it. He jokingly said, ‘I don’t care if you wear a turtleneck and your hair in a bun.’ So, I said, ‘Good, because that’s what I was thinking,’” she recalled. “We decided to go for all white because my character had a very Hitchcockian vibe.”

Stone worked with costume designer Ellen Mirojnick to execute the now-famous ensemble. “Ellen designed the dress so that I could sit like a man if he was being interrogated. It gave me the ability to move my arms and legs, take up space, and exercise control over a room full of men,” Stone added.

Sharon Stone’s Body Looks So Amazing in Her 60s

Sharon Stone‘s body has totally defied Father Time. Even though the stunning actress is in her 60s, she looks half her age in a bikini. Sharon isn’t shy about flaunting her amazing swimsuit figure in photos as a result.

The Basic Instinct star wished “Happy Summer.” Her long legs and toned abs are still just as enviable today as they were when her breakthrough film came out nearly 30 years ago.

The blonde beauty — who was born in 1958 — has revealed how she maintains her enviable figure in her sixth decade of life. “My favorite breakfast is watermelon with feta cheese and mint, with olive oil and salt and pepper,” Sharon told. “And then, I usually have a piece of gluten-free sourdough toast with that and an herbal tea.”

Sharon also explained that staying physically fit is key. “During Covid … I started devising different things that I just did for myself. I think squats are really important. If you do squats every day, that really does get your whole body together,” she shared.

“I was a martial artist when I was young. I haven’t practiced in decades, but I still like to do my punches,” the actress added on how she works her upper body.

Actress Sharon Stone is dong some sunbathing

The 63-year-old Hollywood star was poolside lounging, with the post seeing the Basic Instinct actress in a stylish bathing suit as she cuddled with her dog after a vet visit.

Offering a little swimwear action, Sharon updated with a super-swish setting, seen lying on her side on a huge cushioned lounger and poolside. Sun-drenched, the gorgeous blonde showed off a golden tan in a classic black swimsuit, also going makeup-free as the sun caught her face.

Sharon, whose The Beauty of Living Twice memoir chronicles her career ups and down and 2001 brain hemorrhage, has also discussed the surgery she underwent to remove massive tumors.

She has, revealed plenty of her own via her book, released March 30 of this year. In particular, the trauma of going to a plastic surgeon for reconstructive breast surgery and having her chest size upped with zero instruction to do so.

"When I was unbandaged, I discovered that I had a full cup-size bigger breasts, ones that he said 'go better with your hip size," she told the newspaper: "He had changed my body without my knowledge or consent." When confronting the surgeon, Sharon added: "He thought that I would look better with bigger, 'better' boobs.'"
