KEY POINT
- Zendaya recreated Halle Berry’s yellow geometric-print Lanvin outfit from July 2000.
- Law Roach shared photographs of Zendaya’s Halloween transformation on Instagram.
- Halle Berry welcomed the tribute with heart emojis and a side-by-side comparison of their looks.
Zendaya chose fashion history over a traditional Halloween costume, bringing back an outfit that became a memorable example of early 2000s celebrity style.
The Dune actress wore the same vintage Lanvin ensemble that Halle Berry showcased at the New York premiere of X Men in July 2000. The original Fall 2000 design featured a tiny string bikini top and matching low rise, wide leg trousers covered in a yellow, brown and white geometric print.
Rather than creating a modern interpretation, Zendaya stayed remarkably close to Berry’s original styling. She completed the archival outfit with pointed toe heels and tinted sunglasses, maintaining the distinctive Y2K aesthetic of the original appearance.
Her recently introduced pixie haircut further strengthened the resemblance, making the recreation particularly recognizable to fans familiar with Berry’s earlier fashion and beauty moments.
Zendaya’s longtime stylist, Law Roach, documented the Halloween transformation by sharing photographs on Instagram. The images quickly provided a direct comparison between the original red carpet appearance and its revival more than two decades later.
One of the most notable details surrounding the recreation was Berry’s response.
According to Parade, the X-Men actress reacted to Roach’s Instagram post with several heart emojis. She also shared a side by side comparison featuring herself and Zendaya wearing the identical ensemble.
Her response added an unexpected connection between the original fashion moment and its latest appearance, with Berry acknowledging the tribute herself.
InStyle also highlighted the recreation, drawing attention to Zendaya wearing the tiny Lanvin bikini top and matching trousers 26 years after Berry first introduced the look.
The fashion tribute also connects with Zendaya’s recent hairstyle transformation.
The actress debuted her short pixie haircut at the 2026 Emmy Awards, prompting comparisons with Berry’s iconic hairstyles from the 1990s and early 2000s.
Roach had previously confirmed that Berry’s appearance served as inspiration for Zendaya’s haircut. That connection makes the Halloween recreation more than an isolated fashion choice: it brings together two distinct moments of Berry inspired styling.
By wearing the original Lanvin pieces rather than simply recreating their appearance, Zendaya brought a recognizable piece of early-2000s red-carpet fashion back into the spotlight.
