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.
Halle Berry ’s iconic film looks were fresh in the minds of celebrities this Halloween , as Halle Bailey (pictured) 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 (pictured).
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.’

‘People said to me, ”You can’t do that. You’ve just won the Oscar”,’ Berry said to Variety. ‘Because I didn’t do Jinx, I thought, ”This is a great chance for a woman of color to be a superhero. Why wouldn’t I try this?”’
Berry, however, said the ‘story didn’t feel quite right’ with its shaky plot involving a conspiracy behind a dangerous cosmetics product.
‘I remember having that argument: ”Why can’t Catwoman save the world like Batman and Superman do? Why is she just saving women from a face cream that cracks their face off?” But I was just the actor for hire. I wasn’t the director. I had very little say over that,’ she said.
Meanwhile, Berry embraced the spooky season in her latest snaps.
