Happy Halleween.
Halle Bailey looked to her namesake, Halle Berry, for Halloween this year, donning an orange bikini to dress up as the Oscar winner’s “Die Another Day” character.
“The Little Mermaid” star shared her epic Jinx Johnson costume on Instagram Wednesday.
Re-creating Berry’s most iconic look from the 2002 James Bond movie, Bailey wore an identical triangle top and string bottoms with a white knife belt and pixie cut.
The background of her post was even Photoshopped to match the beachside setting of Berry’s unforgettable entrance in the flick.
“Halle as Halle 🔥🔥🔥” stylist Zerina Akers commented, while a fan added, “Halle Bailey…I mean Berry🧡🤩🫶🏾!!!”
In a 2021 interview with Vogue, Berry reflected on the legendary look, noting that choosing the perfect pieces was quite the process.
“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.
Bailey addressed their near-identical names on “Live with Kelly and Mark” in May 2023.
“Yes, well, my family, we’ve always loved Halle Berry,” Bailey said on the talk show when Ripa asked if her parents contemplated the similarities between their monikers.
“I mean, she’s amazing. And originally, when I was a baby, they wanted to name me Hailey, but my last name is Bailey. So that wouldn’t have worked. So they ultimately decided on Halle, and it’s very similar to Halle Berry.”
She continued, “But there’s no one else I would rather have a similar name to, ’cause she’s so cool.”
The two, who first met at the Oscars in 2023, got together again in Feb. at a Major League Soccer game between the LA Galaxy and Inter Miami CF in Los Angeles.
“When two Halles link up 🤍 truly adore you @hallebailey,” Berry said in an Instagram post.
Two Halles are better than one.
