Amanda Holden, a prominent figure on British television, has recreated Sharon Stone's iconic leg-crossing scene from the 1992 erotic thriller "Basic Instinct." The "Britain's Got Talent" star, 55, shared a flirty Instagram clip on Thursday where she donned a white minidress, echoing Stone's memorable moment from the film.
In the original movie scene, Stone's character uncrosses and re-crosses her legs during a police interrogation, a moment that became one of cinema's most discussed sequences. Holden delivered the line, "It's nice," in her recreation, before revealing she was addressing Michael Douglas, Stone's co-star in the film. Holden captioned the post, "Some Call it Basic instinct; I call it outfit of the day."
This recreation follows recent social media activity from Holden, who also posted pictures from a trip to Abu Dhabi. While on vacation with her husband, Chris Hughes, Holden shared images of herself in a yellow string bikini and a matching cheesecloth shirt. She humorously contrasted her sunny getaway with the arrival of Storm Austen in the UK, noting, "Apparently Britain has gone with the wind!! I’ve gone with the sunshine."
While Holden enjoyed her travels, the UK experienced the impact of Storm Austen, which brought 80 mph gusts and heavy rain, leading to school closures, power outages, and disruptions to train and flight services, particularly in the South West of England.
In other recent news, reports indicated that Holden is planning to expand her business ventures. Having already established a homeware collection and serving as an ambassador for Revive Collagen, she has reportedly filed trademark applications for her name. The application is intended for future use in the beauty products, cosmetics, and perfume industries, aiming to replicate the success of other celebrity-led wellness brands.
