Fans all had one thing to say after seeing Zendaya's latest incredible transformation for Halloween. 

The Odyssey star is a pro when it comes to delivering memorable looks – and her recent homage to actress Halle Berry was no different. Zendaya slipped into a figure-flattering Lanvin string bikini top and matching trousers that fans might recognise Halle first wore on the red carpet back in July 2000 to the New York premiere of X-Men.

Zendaya looked just like the actress, right down to the identical cropped pixie haircut and tinted sunglasses.

Fans were quick to notice the remarkable resemblance, with one gushing: "I literally thought this was Halle."

"Had to do a double take!" another said. 

"She and Halle need to play mother and daughter in a movie quick!" a third remarked.

And it seems Halle herself was a fan of Zendaya's Halloween homage, commenting red heart emojis after seeing the side-by-side photos of her and Zendaya in the same outfit.

The X-Men star even re-shared the post to her own Instagram Stories, clearly enjoying Zendaya's take on the iconic look. 

When Halle first wore the co-ord 26 years ago, she arrived wearing a sheer chocolate brown shirt over the top, which later came off on the red carpet. She accessorised with a belly chain and a pair of glitzy heels.

Zendaya's red carpet approach

It's been a big year for Zendaya who undertook two major press tours for The Odyssey and Spider-Man: No Way Home in July, giving fans many memorable red carpet moments to obsess over.

Zendaya has proved to be masterful at method dressing for her films. For the New York premiere of The Odyssey, she went full Greek goddess as she arrived dressed as an angel in a pair of gigantic wings. 

"Fashion is something I've always used as an outlet, a tool – ultimately, I think I am a more shy person so it allows for me to create this persona, this character that I get to live in for the day," she previously told BBC One.
