Zendaya Channels Halle Berry's Iconic 'X-Men' Premiere Look for Halloween

For Halloween 2026, Zendaya paid homage to Halle Berry by recreating the iconic yellow Lanvin outfit Berry wore to the premiere of "X-Men" in 2000. The ensemble, featuring a geometric print string bikini top and coordinating pants, was lent by the Lanvin team, according to Zendaya's stylist, Law Roach.

This is not the first time Zendaya has drawn inspiration from Berry's fashion. In September, the "Dune" actress attended the 2026 Emmy Awards in a Prada gown that evoked Berry's attire from the 2002 premiere of "Die Another Day." That evening, Zendaya also debuted a pixie cut, mirroring Berry's signature hairstyle.

Zendaya poses in a sleeveless, plunging, heavily beaded and sequined gown with a sheer panel on the bodice, wearing her short hair in a pixie cut.

Berry herself acknowledged Zendaya's tribute on social media, expressing her approval and complimenting the actress's style.

In parallel, Berry has been involved in a legal dispute with her ex-husband, Olivier Martinez, concerning their son. Martinez filed for a temporary restraining order against Berry, alleging child abuse, and was initially granted primary custody. However, the restraining order was later dissolved, with the ex-partners receiving joint legal custody while Martinez retained physical custody.
